My first solo exhibition in New York, Eyes Half Open, opens June 1 at Nguyen Wahed.
The exhibition brings together three viewing instruments I invented: Imagraph, a projector for closed eyes; Lived Montage, glasses that cinematically share vision among participants; and Training Wheels, lenses formed from written instructions and polished brass rings.
The exhibition takes up “eyes half open” as a recurring posture for mediating the distance between oneself and what lies beyond.
On view June 1–22
Opening reception June 4, 6–8 pm

Thank you all for the very kind DM messages. While it is true that our Bossy Bear show utilized an Ai based sound program a few years back when one member of our cast’s voice began to crack, Sun-Min and I do not use Ai in our work, nor will we be doing so. In fact we have reduced our use of digital devices and services in general, just through personal preference. (We are very into pens, paper and stationery from incredible companies like Hobonichi , Maruman, and the Mitsubishi pencil company!)
We have very likely concluded our work in animation with the completion of the Bossy Bear show, which was an absolutely incredible experience and we LOVE the kind people from Imagine Entertainment. What a brilliant team, and what a great honor to work with them and the Nick Jr crew. Our current work, which will continue for the next decade or more, focuses on specialty goods crafted and produced in Japan (We promise to make these available in the USA and beyond more as we go.) and we hope you love what we are making for you. Our first new project in Japan will be announced later this year and oh boy is it a monster... we are aiming to drop all jaws!
We will do our best for you!
Thank you!
Sun-Min + David
@Bankless@eastdakota@Cloudflare@eastdakota I get how Local Journalism can't sell much advertising, but how does it monetize its local content to get paid by the big AI companies? I think lots of little town rags would like to know.
