MIKA TAJIMA
b. 1975, United StatesMika Tajima’s work explores psychic and bodily energy under the regulation of technocapitalism. Her sculptures, paintings, videos and installations focus on the embodied experience of orthoarchitectonic control and computational life.
From architectural systems to ergonomic design and psychographic data, Tajima’s works operate in the space between the immaterial and the tangible to create heightened encounters that target the senses and emotions of the viewer, underlining the dynamics of control and agency. At the core of her work, Tajima is interested in what remains hidden as well as the agency and concordant freedom of being uncontainable, unreachable, ineffable and unknowable.
