Interactive collage on aluminum with augmented reality (AR) layer, 2015 We are the astronaut; our space suits our devices, social media our sponsors. We are connected but separate, we seek transcendence, search the void, dependent on technology to lead us through the darkness. The Astronauts in this series practice mudras, expressing our never-ending attempts at connecting with something bigger than ourselves. We think the space suit protects us, yet the real accomplishment might be to lose it and touch the universe directly; despite the terror of suffocation. The viewer is invited to join the astronaut in a (head)space walk via their own technology. A free custom app for iPhone, iPad, Android devices reveals extra layers of content. eko Art 2015

Erin Ko tells stories through a mix of traditional art making methods with new technologies; often to address our complicated love/hate relationship with technology. Classically trained in fine arts with 20+ years of experience as a game and app developer, her practice builds on hybrid approaches to art; sculpture, video, sound, with reality-expanding technologies viewers can opt in or out of. The result is an ongoing mashup of street art, mixed reality, totems, paintings, NFTs, performances, wearables, and other collaborative works. Some of Ko’s favorite themes to explore are layered realities, mediated realities, techno-socio isolation, digital privilege, and transcendence through technology. . Erin has collaborated with many creators and organizations, including MoMAR, Third Rail Art, Radiance VR, The Gene Frankel Theatre, CADAF, JCMAP, Every Woman Biennial, and Recess. She is a member of Crema Colletiva, Lumen Prize, and MoMA’s R&D Salons. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including in London, Mexico City, Tulum, Beijing, New York, and Berlin. More commercial include time spent at Looking Glass Studios, Razorfish, and Blue Fang Games. She is the co-founder of Hutong Games, which aims to democratize game development through visual scripting tools. In 2018, Ko helped to create and produce the Akumal Arts Festival, an annual week long celebration of community and art making in the pueblo of Akumal, Tulum Mexico. Her current passion project is an immersive, XR rock opera, called "Sick Mystic 9 Saves the World from Monsters"
