We are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism.

B*O/D&Y is a conceptual contemporary art exhibition produced by SPIRA9 ART at Gallery 46.

Positioned at the intersection of body, technology, and systems, the exhibition examines instability, repetition, malfunction, and transformation as conditions that shape contemporary experience. Rather than treating disruption as exception, B*O/D&Y considers moments of fracture and uncertainty as sites where hidden structures become visible and alternative possibilities emerge.

Bringing together an international group of artists working across contemporary practices, the exhibition is presented as a curated spatial environment. Works are not encountered as isolated objects but as interconnected propositions, generating dialogue through proximity, contrast, and conceptual resonance.

At its core, B*O/D&Y is concerned with the body and the glitch, and the point at which one begins to fracture into the other.

Bodies drift across ecological, technological, and social systems. Glitches appear as interruptions, delays, repetitions, and deviations, moments when continuity falters and underlying structures become perceptible.

Within this framework, fragmentation is not absence, malfunction is not failure, and incompletion is not a lack of resolution. Instead, these conditions reveal the limits of systems and open space for alternative forms of relation, temporality, and meaning.

The exhibition is shaped through an interdisciplinary selection process involving practitioners and researchers from contemporary art, performance, neuroscience, sociology, queer studies, and creative technology, with emphasis on conceptual rigor and critical engagement.
