Through the Worlds of the Institute of Contemporary Arts Showcase
The new ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) exhibition showcases installations of multimedia pieces centered around shamanic practices
As part of their collaborative project, Sonic Driving, Yin-ju Chen and Li-Chun Li (Marina) make use of multiple mediums to bring viewers into “altered states of consciousness and to create alternative realities”. These experiences work together to give viewers an insight to how shamanic thinking can create new knowledge to unsolved answers. From March 3 to May 27, this exhibition will be open for viewing from 11:00 - 17:00 at the ICA Gallery.
All artwork is credited to Yin-Ju Chen and Li-Chun Li (Marina).
