Exhibition reimagines planetary life through machines and microbes

Photo taken on June 2, 2025 shows an exhibit at an exhibition themed "Anicka Yi: There Exists Another Evolution, But In This One" at UCCA, 798 Art Zone, Beijing, China's capital city. The exhibition features nearly forty works that explore the intersections of biology, technology, and machine intelligence. Set within immersive environments evoking laboratories, corporate spaces, and spaceships, the show challenges anthropocentric perspectives through installations involving non-human agents such as algae, fungi, and autonomous machines. With its multi-sensory approach and speculative vision of coexistence, the exhibition invites viewers to reconsider the boundaries between species, systems, and selves in a time of ecological and technological transformation.
