Replicant Reiko is robbed of her own biological data and dumped in E-Trashville—a huge landfill site for electronic waste. There, Reiko is reborn as ‘UKI the Virus’ to sabotage a biosystem developed by GENOM Corporation that aims to manipulate sexual desire through pharmaceuticals. Defective humanoids, transmutants, techno-data bodies, and an infected city merge with the UKI virus. UKI is a suspenseful digital collage that combines CGI animation generated using game engines with live-action sequences and visual effects to create a  polysexual, gender fluid film of extraordinary visuality. With her ‘sci-fi viral alt-reality cinema,’ Shu Lea Cheang addresses capitalist-technological mechanisms of oppression, body norms, and queer resistance. The works Red Pill and Virus Becoming, shown in the exhibition, are also part of the multimedia cosmos of UKI.
