Book your free ticket for a curated tour of arebyte's current exhibition Alexandria's Genesis, led by artist Dian Joy and her long time supporter and friend Brian Yue. Alexandria’s Genesis, a solo exhibition by British-Nigerian artist Dian Joy, examines how digital folklore shapes self-perception and social ideologies, with a particular focus on the role of the gaze in perpetuating myths about the body. Stemming from a widely circulated fanfiction entitled Purple Eyes and Other Interesting Anomalies, written in 1998 by Cameron Aubernon, the exhibition delves into the internet myth of Alexandria’s Genesis. This viral lore describes an idealised genetic condition, marked by pale skin, purple eyes, extended lifespan, immunity to disease, and freedom from bodily waste as well as unwanted hair growth. Although rooted in fiction, this myth gained widespread attention online, feeding a niche hysteria amongst those who believed they harboured this rare genetic code, and those who desired to embody its impossible traits. Through an interdisciplinary approach that includes filmmaking, animation, and archival research, Dian Joy traces the roots of this myth, exploring how new media technologies harness the gaze as a disciplinary force to shape both individual selfhood and collective belief systems. By delving into these structures of seeing and being seen, Alexandria’s Genesis challenges us to question how contemporary communication technologies perpetuate desires for unattainable, often dangerous, and always racialised ideals of the body. Alexandria’s Genesis forms part of arebyte’s artistic focus for 2023/26 themed The Body, The Mind, The Soul, an exploration of the complex nature of humanity in the realm of technological progress. The exhibition is the culmination of hotel generation, a yearly artist development programme mentoring the next generation of UK digital artists and whose 2024 edition was awarded to Dian Joy. Read more about the exhibition here. The exhibition is unticketed and runs Tuesday to Sunday, 1 - 6pm until 12 Jan 2025. Artist biography Dian Joy is a British-Nigerian interdisciplinary artist and educator based in London. Their work explores the intersection of biological and technological systems through videos and installations. Grounded in Cultural Analysis, their work bridges personal experiences and political realities, offering alternative social modalities. Guest biography Brian Yue is an exhibition maker, researcher and founder of the Cheng-lan Foundation, a private art foundation supporting global majority arts, based between Hong Kong and London. In his role as an exhibition maker, Brian Yue supports and delivers exhibitions that showcase the works of global majority artists. His research interests include exploring the intersections of art, culture, and social justice, aiming to foster greater inclusivity and representation within the art community.
