Autosaved Mistakes @ Ươm

'Autosaved Mistakes' (*) is a showcase by two artists Lê Bắc Tân (aka Nguyễn Hoàng Giang) & Hà Ninh Pham, supported and presented by RMIT Việt Nam Digital Design & Media Residency 2021(**).

The exhibition presents two artworks:

'LBT_01’ by artist LE-BAC-TAN (aka Nguyễn Hoàng Giang): “LBT 01” is part of a costume collection, which reworks and re-imagines designs of casual clothes from Vietnamm. This collection not only remixes patterns, forms and the feelings of casual clothes but also adapts them to their new functions in the current age.
The collection is accompanied by a video work "II Provino" ("The Audition") in which 4 characters perform the function of the clothes in a staged reality.

'Institute of Disstance' by artist Ha Ninh Pham: a role-playing game in which the player is a ‘soul-atom’ that can choose its body parts and fate for its next life and be reborn infinitely. The goal is to collect as many ‘survival experiences’ as possible before the player runs out of life points and has to start over again.

(*) 'Autosaved Mistakes': is about the idea of being safe and correct. If something is autosaved, there is no need to back it up with anything else. Autosaved Mistakes would highlight the discomfort and incorrectness of the practice that crosses over art and design.[An explanation by Ha Ninh Pham]
(**) RMIT Vietnam Digital Design & Media Residency is a learning and development opportunity for designers and artists, offering assistance to develop a digital project of their own choosing.
!! Ươm is a magical Art Hub that has been planting such a lovely space for this showcase as well as supporting lots of art activities in the town.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

LE-BAC-TAN (aka Giang Nguyen Hoang)
giang.it
LE-BAC-TAN is another alias of Nguyễn Hoàng Giang. This identity allows them to distance themselves from Giang’s academic artistic practices. Le Bac Tan were born in the French Cochinchina sometime in the 40s. At 26, they swallowed a microchip that enabled them to time travel to Y2K to witness computer time stops. They blend history with fiction, high art with low brow design. They are a collective of many trades: AR designer, DJ-wannabe, Cultural Mixologist, Performer, and Tour Guide.
