“Air Skylen (2022) embodies Quang Lam\u2019s long-term research into the development of the Vietnamese airline industry. \u201cDeveloping countries such as Viet Nam have a history of modernity but it has been hidden by the official colonial discourse. Air SkyLen project reveals its existence by using airline and urbanism as the key contemporary symbols of Icarus and Daedalus,\u201d reads the artist statement. The project features numerous archival materials of Air Vietnam collected by the artist, some of which have their \u201cAir Vietnam\u2019\u2019 logos overwritten by the artist\u2019s own airline branding, that is, \u201cAir Skylen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Directory, these archival objects are scattered across the screen like tourist postcards, accompanied by a number of associated artworks. These include the 3D models of Lam\u2019s Time Maps sculptural series (commissioned specifically for Directory); a photographic series where images of airplanes are angled in a way that they appear only meters away from hitting skyscrapers. In the third artwork, Lam\u2019s takes a literal spin on the \u201cplane-hitting-building\u201d concept over Video Game Crash – a web-based video game in which the player\u2019s sole purpose is to crash the airplane into the city buildings. The last artwork, Meta Morphosis of the Far East, ties the knots together with the artist\u2019s investigation into the problematic subtext of modernization fueled by colonial expansion in the Eastern world. All in all, Air Skylen is an ambitious yet carefully spatialized artistic project that provides alternative outlooks into modern historical discourses.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About The Biennale The Wrong <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“The Wrong Biennale is the epitome of the digital age, harnessing the power of
technology to bridge gaps and foster cultural exchange. Digital art has become a

As our lives become increasingly intertwined with digital platforms and screens,
it is only logical that the art world will evolve to adapt to this new paradigm “

About The Pavilion ANIMA “Directory”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“How do we leave significant, tangible traces in a world that is engineered for timed disappearances and constant erasures of genealogies? Directory illuminates how radical investigations into the relations between \u201chuman\u201d and \u201cnon-human\u201daspects are needed for a critical outlook on modern experiences.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
