During the past two decades, @Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall has hosted some truly spectacular site-specific installations that have set the bar high for new commissions. We’re happy to say that New York-based, Seoul-born artist Anicka Yi’s @anickayi_studio floating machines, the latest instalment of the Hyundai Commission series, sets the bar even higher, both literally and figuratively. Poetically titled “In Love With The World”, the installation consists of a swarm of giant, airborne contraptions - part jellyfish, part cephalopod, part machine – which languorously drift around the enormous hall in ever changing patterns. Based on ocean life forms and mushrooms, and mobilized by AI, Yi’s helium-filled bulbous creatures break down the distinctions between nature and technology, conjuring a post-industrial, symbiotic ecosystem of machines and other life forms – quite contemplative and soothing to be in, but at the same time a bit menacing.
On view until 16 January 2022.
