"Oi! OnSite Artists in Residence and Exhibition Project" invited local artists to conduct regular research and create site-specific works starting in early 2022. They have injected contemporary imagination and meaning into Oi!—where old meets new—through their artistic perspective.
Data Collecting (Universe) by Jessica Fu and her collaborators is a research-based art project starting with found objects in Oi!. A series of sci-fi symbols that resemble these objects have been created to respond to the historical context of the site. The fluidity of the exhibition experience, the collective written sci-fi allegory, the re-construction of symbols, and internet-based work pose questions about the reality of the historical site, ensuring its collective memory through the power of art.
Venue: Oi! Warehouse 1, 12 Oil Street, North Point
