About BYOD²

BYOD² is an exhibition themed around "data." On the special website, anyone can upload their digital artwork, and during the exhibition period, these works will be randomly displayed on screens at the venue. All submitted works will be displayed as long as they comply with BYOD²'s regulations. Additionally, anyone can bring display devices (displays, projectors) to the exhibition venue, and the exhibition space will continue to evolve throughout the period. Through this mechanism, the way works are viewed and experienced will show different aspects over time. BYOD² is an open-format exhibition where art works collected as data from around the world will be displayed in physical space with the cooperation of visitors. This is not just an open-call exhibition for digital art, but an opportunity to re-examine the relationship between intangible data and its medium in exhibitions.

Created by emilio.jp between 2009 and 2015, "Macintosh lab" (http://emilio.jp/macintoshlab/) is a work that reinterprets the Mac OS desktop as a "material for expression." The desktop is not only a familiar digital space essential to our daily lives and work, but it also serves as a "site of generation" where data is created, transformed, and disappears. The interface plays a crucial role in providing visual cues for manipulating such data. In Macintosh lab, the interface—which is typically expected to be seamless and transparent—goes beyond its functional role and is visualized as a material that composes beauty. Emilio.jp deliberately alters the inherent functions and effects of the OS, intentionally deviating from its normal behavior. This is also an attempt to create a new aesthetic derived from the structure and functions within the specific digital environment of Macintosh. For this exhibition, Macintosh lab will be remade and presented using a large LED display. Through automated programmatic operations, this work captures aesthetic moments born from the digital environment, making it a form of performance art. By redefining the nature of the desktop space, this exhibition uncovers the gaps within the neutrality and rationality of technology that we unconsciously accept and offers new perspectives from those spaces.

EMILIO.JP PROFILE

emilio.jp is a digital artist whose work explores the aesthetics and behaviors of computer graphics through abstract, concept-driven creations. His practice transforms digital tools and interfaces into a medium for artistic expression. One of his most notable projects, Macintosh Lab (2009–2015), reimagined the computer desktop as both a workspace and a subject of art. Using only the built-in tools and features of the Macintosh operating system, he created works that blur the lines between minimalism, geometric abstraction, and conceptual art, capturing the digital workspace’s raw, unfiltered essence through screen recordings and screenshots. http://emilio.jp
