About the Show

Reworlding is an artist-led exhibition of new works by contemporary artists from Asia, curated by Debbie Ding. Each artist responds to early virtual reality works from the 1990s to early 2000s, revisiting a moment and digital space filled with utopian promise.

Reviving the experimental ethos of that era, Reworlding is an invitation to imagine virtual space through artistic perspectives, where virtuality is not an escapist fantasy but a tool for rewriting histories, disrupting dominant narratives and constructing alternative futures.
