𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 (胎敎 : 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐙), 2020

As consciousness and memory transfer onto cyberspace due to the fusion of the brain and computer, a neo-humankind who has eternal life could exist. In Kim Hyojae’s work, ‘Z’ is the default on cyberspace who could be the next subject after the Millenials, whom the desire for eternal life and a yearning for the future is projected on. Perhaps in the distant future, pregnancy via smartphones might be possible. 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 (胎敎 :𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐙) is an eternal/to be an eternal will for the descendants who will enjoy cyber-immortality from the artist who will have already become a machine.
