Offscum unveils a futuristic, tech-driven convenience store designed by Cho Sum Yuet Shera, with interactive devices enabled by Cheng Lok Yi Tracy. The exhibition offers an immersive experience that imagines a near-future, posthuman era.
The work renders muscle pulsation – an instinctive, primal characteristic of the flesh. Amid the dependency and uncertain boundary between human and cyborg, the flesh becomes a vessel for observing contemporary society, guiding viewers to uncover primal desire and how it verges on madness under pressures of time, morality, and aesthetics.
With humour and satire, the exhibition reframes visual culture to expose social contradictions and shifting public narratives. Offscum examines corporeality, focusing on the transformative yet strained relationship between implantable technologies and the human body. Visitors will also engage with the evolving relationship between humans and artificial intelligence.
Venue address: 38 Nelson Street, Mong Kok
