Exploring Human and Ecological Connections: Sougwen Chung at the V&A

2026

On November 29, 2024, Sougwen Chung’s performance, Performance Ecologies of Becoming-With, was showcased at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London as part of Friday Late: Wild Digits. This landmark event was a highlight of the museum’s inaugural Digital Art Season, curated by Carrie Chan and produced by Faunsia Tucker and Adonis Fuyana.

The performance, held in the historic Raphael Cartoons Room, explored the convergence of human gestures, technology, and ecological systems, reflecting on new forms of collaboration between the organic and the digital. As a continuation of Chung’s practice, this work invited audiences to consider the potential of art to bridge natural and technological processes in innovative ways.

Friday Late: Wild Digits brought together a dynamic lineup of artists and technologists, creating a platform for groundbreaking dialogue on the intersections of art, digital innovation, and ecology. The event ran from 18:30 to 22:00, attracting hundreds of visitors to experience live performances, installations, and discussions that reimagined our relationship with both the natural world and the digital realm.

Event Highlights:

  • Performance Title: Performance Ecologies of Becoming-With
  • Location: Raphael Cartoons Room, Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, London
  • Date and Times: November 29, 2024, 19:30 and 20:30
