You Wu
soft.ware
Wu appropriates visual motifs from contemporary advertisements to fabricate satirical scenarios where leisure and labor are indistinguishable. Through the combination of found objects, soft sculptures, videos, and microelectronics, soft.ware presents a precarious dream fulfilled by excessive commodification.

Daniel Jonas
DIY (Do It Yourself)
Jonas scrutinizes purpose and communication through the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) lens, drawing on the inherent uses of ready-made objects and home decoration to explore how we communicate with one another. In a series of sculptures somewhere between furniture and decoration, Jonas looks to highlight the struggles and highlights of sharing a home with a family.
