Fields of Vision highlights solutions spearheaded by 3 US-based artists: Ai Xia, Jamica El & Alfredo Salazar-Caro. The exhibition helps us to reposition ourselves to our means of production, and our relationship with society and nature for more sustainable futures.
About
Fields of Vision brings the breadth of experience of these US-based artists into the space of Blessed Foundation in London.
A Moment in Eternity, 2023, by Ai Xia, an interactive media artist and game designer, is a mixed reality experience created in the aftermath of a work-related injury. It addresses, amongst other topics, human strengths and limitations in the context of an internalized pressure of productivity.
Jamica El, artist, researcher and founder of Muvaboard, in her installation The Waiting Room Experience, 2034, presents a space that, instead of being draining, is an area where local communities have an opportunity to recharge, reflect and share ideas and strategies for their future. The ideas that occur in the space are encouraged to be shared on the Community Visioning Board. In the Afrofuturistic spirit, the future is understood here as a field of regained opportunities rather than decay.
Alfredo Salazar-Caro, a creator and world-builder, contributes to the exhibition Biocompatible Architecture, 2024, a mixed-media installation featuring architectural visualisations and 3D prints made of locally sourced clay. The work is an outcome of several research trips, where he learned about ancestral traditions of making housing from locally sourced materials.
