Ayoung Kim – Delivery Dancer's Arc: 0° Receiver

In this ACMI-commissioned sequel to Kim’s award-winning Deliver Dancer’s Sphere (2022), courier Ernst Mo and her doppelganger En Storm escape the endless maze of package pick-ups and deliveries in a techno-futuristic Seoul. No longer ordinary couriers, they transport something far more abstract and fundamental – the 'time'.

Across deserts, cities and different dimensions, they join a multiverse resistance, battling the algorithm seeking to flatten time in favour of productivity. Traversing different calendar mechanics and astronomical technologies, they’re tangled in networks of space and time that contradict and collide with each other.

Harnessing cinematic storytelling, videogame technology, app interfaces and poetry, Delivery Dancer's Arc: 0° Receiver confronts disjointed realities and personas while resisting the optimisation of ourselves and society.
