As part of it's series dedicated to digital art, the Goethe-Institut Thailand presents re:complex. The exhibition reflects on the creative residue emerging from a shared process among eight artists who participated in a
Code-based Digital Art workshop led by
Kim Asendorf in March 2025, which the artist also held his first retrospective Complex at the Goethe-Institut Thailand.
re:complex captures ideas, systems, and signals encountered during a workshop - then refracted, reinterpreted, and transformed them into new artistic practices shaped by collaboration, code, and conversation.
The eight participating artists explored a wide spectrum of concepts and approaches. Their works reflect diverse engagements with code, systems, and media technologies, ranging from traditional music and classical dance reinterpreted as looping digital memory to simulations of artificial life that question pain, ethics, and the future of human existence.
Low-resolution light fields reflect presence through abstraction. Ocean waves are translated into emotional data using computer vision. Simple bodily movements generate rippling digital ecosystems. Bangkok traffic becomes a tool for syncing narrative with movement, and memory is reprogrammed to navigate the layered emotions of diasporic longing.
