The Hill Art Foundation in New York is hosting Mika Tajima: Super Natural, an exhibition exploring the complexities of technology and human existence. The project features Tajima’s recent works, including her Negative Entropy textiles, pranayama monoliths and mirror-blown glass sculptures. These pieces explore the intersection of ancient practices and modern technology, questioning the boundaries between our digital and physical identities.
This exhibition is significant because it highlights Tajima’s unique artistic approach, which combines data visualisation with physical forms to comment on contemporary issues of control and agency. Curator Mika Yoshitake emphasises the importance of understanding our somatic experiences in a technologically saturated world. According to Yoshitake, Tajima’s work visualises the relational spaces outside ourselves and questions where our agency lies.
On view until July 26th, 2024, Super Natural invites viewers to engage with the invisible forces that shape our lives. Tajima’s creative style is characterised by her use of diverse materials and her ability to make the invisible visible. Her work has been described as a transmediation between the material and the immaterial, offering a profound reflection on the human condition under the influence of technology.
