Heart to Heart: Works by Yu-Chen Wang

What would our machines say if they could talk? An ambitious multimedia exhibition exploring the human side of machines. APT artist Yu-Chen Wang was the MSI's 2015 artist-in-residence, supported by the Taipei Representative Office in the UK. Her research on machine objects in the museum’s collection has inspired Heart to Heart, an ambitious multimedia presentation that explores the human qualities in machines and includes a science fiction text, live performances, a film and an installation.

It is part of Manchester Art Gallery’s The Imitation Game, an exhibition by eight international contemporary artists that examines the theme of machines and the imitation of life. Heart To Heart will be displayed across both Manchester Art Gallery and the MSI’s historic first class booking hall in the Station Building.
