"Vivian Xu and Benjamin Bacon have been working together to navigate entangled networks spanning across digital, organic, and physical realms for close to a decade.  Together, Xu and Bacon have set out to explore emerging topics and formulate critical discussions about major societal and cultural issues present within virtual societies, disruptive technologies, and material ecologies. While both Xu and Bacon’s practices have been heavily influenced by their design background, their works and projects often fuse together and take influence from other aspects of their creative practices and professional histories, such as music and sound, film, and writing, to craft narratives and probe into the emerging possibilities about our future."
