Transcendence

Online Exhibition

To transcend is to move beyond, to shift across boundaries. From the Latin trans (beyond) and scandere (to climb), it suggests elevation, a movement past the limits of the physical, the known, the habitual. In this exhibition, transcendence becomes a speculative practice, a way of navigating between realities, bodies, and systems. Rather than tracing a single direction, the exhibition opens up a field of entangled movements: speculative re-morphing of body and technology, glitched presence, layered hybrid corporeality, bodily shattering and reassembly, bio-cybernetics, posthuman ecologies, distributed intelligence, soft interfaces, poetic resistance, and algorithmic critique.

The works in Transcendence: Beyond Bodies, Between Realities trace these movements through embodiment, glitch, wyrdness, softness and relation. Some confront algorithmic infrastructures directly, others move through quieter ecologies of perception. Together, they also operate within a broader landscape shaped by the cultural, conceptual, and emotional implications of AI, reflecting on a world where intelligence is not simply artificial or authentic, but synthetic, distributed, partial, and already embedded in the fractured realities we inhabit.

Here, transcendence unfolds relationally, through the spaces in between.
