As an interdisciplinary creative duo that finds ourselves somewhere between art, design, and engineering, our practice exists at the intersection of physical and digital. We like to explore the ways we can tinker with scale and perspective to channel a spatial quality into our works to resonate with people on a visceral level. Our practice is rooted in a joint fascination with the clash between rapid societal progress and the complex human condition. Through our artistic outputs – whether in the form of experimental film, immersive installation, or animated video art – we aim to highlight bodies, feelings, and narratives typically pushed to the periphery, and create work that serve as mirrors for complex realities.

XJ (Xin Wen and JJ Agcaoili) is a Chinese-American and Filipino artistic duo grown out of London, now working internationally. Their award-winning practice reckons with the human subject in collision with the material and digital structures that manipulate contemporary life. This fascination with the physical-digital is embodied in media-expansive work across experimental video, kinetic sculpture, and immersive installation. They have exhibited globally in major cities such as San Francisco, Taiwan, Linz, Singapore, and London.
