Lawrence Lek Expands Dystopian Smart City Fiction into Site-Specific Traffic Simulation
Lawrence Lek’s solo exhibition “Black Cloud Highway” opens at Sadie Coles HQ, London, expanding the world of his 2021 CGI film into a ‘site-specific simulation.’ Black Cloud tells the story of a lone traffic surveillance AI in an abandoned smart city. At Sadie Coles HQ, the film’s highways become a cinematic landscape: Spanning two floors, Lek creates a “unified spatial environment of media and architecture” that incorporates sculptural elements—suspended car parts—and a new text-based role-playing game.
