Jen Liu’s work I Am Cloud (2024) is on view at a group exhibition “Artificial Elegance” at WHITE NOISE, South Korea.
“Artificial Elegance is a group exhibition examining how technology reshapes work and labour within today’s shifting economic structures, with particular focus on its impact on women and women-identifying workers. Featuring Jen Liu, Sylbee Kim, lololol, and Haena Yoo, the exhibition explores “feminised labour”—work marked by irregular hours, pay, and no benefits. Once tied to women’s “secondary” employment, these precarious conditions have become standard, intensified by digital technologies that monitor workers and sustain on-demand consumer industries. Women and women-identifying workers remain disproportionately burdened by these gendered labour markets, often obscured behind sleek surfaces of technology. Through humour, irony, and resilience, the exhibition probes these dynamics while proposing ways to recouping agency over the feminised, labouring body.” – WHITE NOISE
