Genetic Salon - Red Room
In a dark and red room, a corner of a particular forgotten history can be found: a span of historical events stretching from the first gene-edited human babies in China in 2018 and a global pandemic in 2020, until the birth of Genetic Salon a thousand years later. This history celebrates human genetic engineering as the core of the interpretation of the history through a display of video works, text and archival objects. However, it appears that shortly afterwards the Genetic Salon closed down and this historical narrative was forgotten. The exhibits in this room are dusty, and some of them become fragmented. The projector mostly reflects a red screen, does the projector get broken?
Exhibition: Skylight Gallery, KHiO Oslo.

Genetic Salon - Waiting Room
The theme of “waiting room” for the story of Genetic Salon, allowing the audience to select randomly and watch various video clips. The uncertain playability echoes the worldview of the Genetic Salon. In a mysterious technological world, people’s lives are full of uncertainty, while the power to be able to “randomly switch options” makes us willing to wait at all costs.
