Rendering of a towering digital sculpture of a figure standing on an outdoor plinth

Nancy Baker Cahill: CORPUS

  • –

New media artist Nancy Baker Cahill’s CORPUS (2022/2024) is a monumental virtual sculpture that imagines a future of blended, embodied entanglement between human, machine, flora, and microbiome. The towering Augmented Reality (AR) figure is a glowing, dynamic body that blurs the boundaries between the digital and physical world. Anchored on the Hammer’s sculpture terrace located on Wilshire Boulevard, CORPUS will be viewable only through iPhone 6s and above, or Android 7.0 and above, on the 4th Wall app (4thwallapp.org).

Free Wi-Fi is accessible on the "Nancy Baker Cahill" network. 

CORPUS was originally commissioned by the Future Humans program at the Berggruen Institute for their 2022 symposium “What Will Life Become?”

Nancy Baker Cahill: CORPUS is organized by Paulina Pobocha, Robert Soros Senior Curator.

Generous support for the exhibition is provided by the Nicolas Berggruen Charitable Trust.
