In 𝐷𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝐷𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑟’𝑠 𝑆𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 (2022), Korean artist 𝗔𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗶𝗺 presents a speculative vision of Seoul as an endlessly regenerating labyrinth, where urban space, labour, technology and desire become entangled within a continuously unfolding system. At its centre is Ernst Mo – an anagram of “Monster” – a female delivery rider employed by Delivery Dancer, a fictional platform whose workers are governed by Dancemaster, an omnipresent algorithm that orchestrates every movement, route and task.

Set against the luminous backdrop of a nocturnal metropolis, the work draws on the realities of platform labour and the rapid expansion of the gig economy in South Korea, particularly during and after the pandemic. Yet its scope extends far beyond social commentary. The project explores questions of topology, possible worlds, algorithmic control, hypervigilance and the relentless drive towards optimisation of body, time and space. Seoul emerges as a space suspended between techno-orientalism and Asian futurism, at once familiar and speculative.
