Anicka Yi: 6,070,430K of Digital Spit
Edited by Alise Upitis. Text by Johanna Burton, Caroline A. Jones, Anicka Yi, Alise Upitis.
South Korean artist Anicka Yi (born 1971) has embedded tempura-fried flowers, acrylic paint and vinyl tubing in glycerin soap and resin; floated a cow’s stomach in hair gel inside a transparent Longchamp handbag; and created a perfume from the bacteria of 100 women. Intertwining the seemingly permanent and the perishable, Yi’s work reorders the chemical and cultural forces that privilege containment over leakage, apathy over empathy, and elevate sight above all other senses. Published in conjunction with the exhibition Anicka Yi: 6,070,430K of Digital Spit at the MIT List Visual Arts Center, the book includes an exchange between Caroline A. Jones and Yi on scent, ethnicity and symbiotic microorganisms; an essay by Johanna Burton on networks and extravisual means; and an essay by Alise Upitis on the irreducible ambiguity of Yi’s work. Anicka Yi: 6,070,430K of Digital Spit is the artist’s first monograph.
