《Host Modded》 presents the works of three artists : Sidsel Meineche hansen, Jisun Kim, Rachel Rose. The title combines the "idea of a 'host', or the human body as a perceiving agent, with the recent coinage 'modded', referring to the modification of programs to create new function."
The artists offers particular bodies to show different perceptions of space and objects. "Sidsel Meineche Hansen represents a video work in which a 3D model of Keanu Reeves welcomes the viewer into short stories navigable by a joystick. In the video, a robot relates its thoughts about the surveillance society as it wanders through a city circa 2077. Rachel Rose blends the progression of time and the structure of space as she juxtaposes the solid yet transparent structure of Philip Johnson’s Glass House with scenes showing unexpected turns of events. Jisun Kim uses her video work The House of Sorrow – House, which is based on a computer game that she developed, to situate the viewer in the position of “player.” During the exhibition, Kim will present Deep Present – Aibo (2017–2021), a performance in the exhibition space by the robot dog Aibo."
