Cosmopolis #1.5

Cosmopolis #1.5

Design: 2018
Construction: 2018

Launched by the Centre Pompidou, Cosmopolis is a biennial platform devoted to artistic practices rooted in cultural translation and ideas of cosmopolitanism. “Enlarged Intelligence,” the platform’s second major exhibition, and its first outside of France, is housed in a former electronics warehouse in Chengdu, China. The exhibition explores the ways in which intelligent technologies induce cultural transformation.

OLI conceptualized the exhibition design as a seemingly endless open space that holds a constellation of works by 60 living artists from over 20 countries. Interactive environments and installations commissioned by the Centre Pompidou appear alongside various research-based artworks. The result is an endless combination of unique visitor pathways that encourage dialogue and the exchange of ideas, inviting visitors to reconsider the meaning of cosmopolitan values in a rapidly changing world.
