Hyundai Translocal Series: Ho Tzu Nyen

Press a floor button and a digitally rendered Singaporean child, life-size on the screen, starts speaking to you about power. It might be a mantra, a riddle or a question, and an AI system generates a new image sequence for every press, so your next ride won't repeat this one.

That is the whole exhibition: P for Power: Up Down, a new commission by Ho Tzu Nyen, playing on screens inside the museum's glass-front elevators, which look out onto the Bowery. A sister piece with 24 projectors opens at the Ulsan Art Museum in Korea on October 22. It's the only elevator in Manhattan where pressing the button again actually changes something.

Time Out called it "a fitting introduction to a lineup that gets considerably weirder from there," and that's the right way to take it: part of the ride up to Jafa, Marcon and the Bowery show. It comes with general admission, free for 18 and under, pay what you wish Thursdays 7 to 9pm.
