Good afternoon everyone,

How is it going? I hope it's great. I hope you are on sparkling form. I went to see some really cool art earlier in the month, I can't believe I've not told you about it yet! It's Alienarium 5 by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster at the Serpentine Gallery.

The coolest thing about the show is the video work. My actual favourite thing was a singing hologram, which you have to peer in at through a window. It's really moving, you don't know quite what the alien's mood is and the music is quite odd. Anyway, I'd recommend you going to see that in person as it's not on the internet! A preview of the VR component is though:

You can read an interview with the artist here:

“Part of the reason sci-fi and speculative fiction exists is as a laboratory for exploring multiple identities,” explains Gonzalez-Foerster. “Multiple relationships to gender, sex, to all sorts of possible liberations and revolutions.”

Happy happy Friday,

Alex.
