MASI Lugano 2026 preview.
24 November 2025 • Mark Westall
MASI Lugano have released their initial programme for 2026.
Heecheon Kim (b. 1985, Seoul, South Korea) maps the frenetic pulse of contemporary life through video works that blur reality, simulation, and digital drift. Using motion capture, VR rigs, and hyper-fragmented editing, he builds narratives that feel both documentary and dream—stories of bodies tracked, data flowing, cities seen from shifting, unstable vantage points. His works capture the tension between physical experience and its algorithmic double, turning everyday gestures into choreography for a world in constant sync and desync. Immersive, restless, and sharply attuned to the tech-shaped present, Kim’s practice renders the near future as something already unfolding around us.
