Black Box is the first major museum exhibition in Asia devoted to the full scope of the career of Tony Oursler (b. 1957, New York), widely considered to be among the pioneers of American multimedia and video art. Oursler has been consistently redefining moving image and installation art through innovative and diverse methods of incorporating video, sculpture and performance into his practice, breaking video art out of the two-dimensional screen by using projectors to create unique and transformative three-dimensional environments. Black Box reveals his fascination with mystical phenomena and the origins of the camera obscura, conjuring immersive experiences through the use of technologies of projection, video screens and other optical devices.

At the intersection of multimedia, audio-visual practice and poetry, Oursler develops lifelike video sculptures that simulate human psychological characteristics. With satirical humor, he guides viewers through image environments that explore the human mind, spirit, popular culture, and the ambiguity of modern technology. Black Box is the first full-scale retrospective of Tony Oursler in Asia, a momentous exhibition showcasing his most exemplary video installations, experimental films, and cinema work over nearly four decades.
