For the third year in a row, Frieze Film returns to Frieze Seoul 2024. This year’s programme is in partnership with Ewha Media Art Presentation (EMAP), on view from 2-6 September at Ewha Womans University and online at frieze.com.
Curated by Joowon Park and Valentine Umansky, this year’s programme is titled ‘All that Weaves the Universe: Of Quantum Entanglements’. It brings together time-based media works of 37 international artists, unfolding under 8 chapters.
CHAPTER 2 - Longing & Belonging
These four films deal with the possible subversions of digital space, raising questions around identity and surveillance, in direct or symbolic ways. While Dineo Seshee Bopape’s is i am sky offers the possibility of cosmic infinity as a frontier for Black liberation, Alison Nguyen’s and Vitória Cribb’s works raise concerns about contemporary forms of oppression, through the generalization of digital mechanisms of control.
Together, the four works reflect ways of finding – unmonitored – spaces to connect in today’s age. They aptly emphasize how the interplay between capitalism and technology has driven economic inequality and exploitative dependency and offer possibilities of liberation through the blurring of identity markers and the construction of alternate universes.

SLIME is a unique hybrid on-line and on-site project about our hybrid realities. Taking place at the Secession as an on-site event and as an on-line program, it includes commissioned and historic artworks, talks and performances, screenings and workshops (including one for making actual slime). Taking its name from the children's toy—a metastable plasma-like substance that has both unique material and tactile features and a constant presence online through tutorials and documentation of people playing with it—SLIME tackles the social, cultural, political, and sensory operations of digital hybridity.
Where we meet today—at the point of realization, as opposed to the point of production—shifts occur in the ways meaning is organized: from strikes to riots, from working class to surplus populations, from solidarity to conspiracy, from organization to petty sovereignty . Digital hybridity enhances finance's assault on social reproduction. The belief in the digital as an unmediated mode of operation generates sensory and political frontiers that embody this logic—be it ASMR or extreme right-wing politics. Exploring this social phenomenon and its precursors in art, the program at the Secession looks at our political, economic, and cultural realities stemming from the digital hybridity that is SLIME.
