Press Release

New media artist Nancy Baker Cahill’s CORPUS (2022/2024) is a monumental virtual sculpture that imagines a future of blended, embodied entanglement between human, machine, flora, and microbiome.

The towering Augmented Reality (AR) figure is a glowing, dynamic body that blurs the boundaries between the digital and physical world. Anchored on the Hammer’s sculpture terrace located on Wilshire Boulevard, CORPUS will be viewable only through phones on the 4th Wall app (4thwallapp.org).

CORPUS was originally commissioned by the Future Humans program at the Berggruen Institute for their 2022 symposium “What Will Life Become?” Nancy Baker Cahill: CORPUS is organized by Paulina Pobocha, Robert Soros Senior Curator. Generous support for the exhibition is provided by the Nicolas Berggruen Charitable Trust.
