■ Exhibition

ROLA ROLLS is the exhibition by the collective eobchae, selected for the [Emerging Artists & Curators 2024]. ROLA ROLLS starts from the SF imagination that the human being improves himself in accordance with the new environment and becomes the evolved species, ‘ROLA’, in the future where fossil fuels have been depleted. It imagines the future of humanity where the climate crisis has been accelerated and questions humanity’s technology and capitalism in the present day. With the keen interest in various technologies such as AI and Block chain, the artist suggests a novel narrative which does not overlook the importance of technology in the future of humanity and departs from anthropocentric narrative at the same time.
