Sougwen Chung’s major solo exhibition “Ecologies of Becoming” explores a decade of human-machine collaboration. Robotics, drawing, performance and newly developed installations investigate how biological, technological and ecological systems create new forms of co-existence.
Sougwen Chung’s “Ecologies of Becoming” is a deep meditation on the evolving relationship between humans and machines. Across installations, canvases, and live drawing performances with custom-built robotics, Sougwen Chung’s practice is rooted in collaboration rather than control; technology is a co-creator, not a mere instrument.
Her Drawing Operations series explores how authorship, agency, and ritual are renegotiated when humans and machines work side by side. The works draw from calligraphy, abstract painting, and computation, presenting drawing as a hybrid act: part choreography, part communication, part ritual.
At Kunstverein Heilbronn, visitors encounter a decade of experiment in interspecies creativity, with documentation, artefacts, and installations that trace both process and transformation. At IPAI, newly unveiled work and moving image reflect the future horizons of human-AI practice.
Sougwen Chung’s approach foregrounds care, invention, and the capacity to imagine new forms of coexistence. The exhibition becomes an active space for reflection: What does it mean to be human when machines are companions not competitors?
