Thursday, February 2, 2pm ET in the Rhizome Discord, Celine Wong Katzman, Curator at Rhizome, will be joined by artist Ryan Kuo and programmer Tommy Martinez to discuss Kuo’s browser based artwork, Puzzle. 

Inspired by role-playing video games, Kuo’s Puzzle rebuilds conversations from his personal history as a first-generation Taiwanese American growing up in rural America. In looping, disembodied encounters, themes of Confucian patriarchy and filial piety encounter American idealism and self-preservation. Instead of viewing these as opposing forces, Kuo attempts to piece them together across the barriers of memory and language.
