Urban Pixels is a public art exhibition curated by MoCDA in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica featuring XCOPY, Giuseppe Lo Schiavo, Lethabo Huma and Krista Kim. The works will be exhibited on screens located in some of the most famous and busy areas of Milan (Krista Kim), London (XCOPY) and New York (Giuseppe Lo Schiavo in Times Square). Each work will be installed a few days apart and will remain on display for four weeks.
With Antropogenica, the artist investigates the dichotomic nature of humankind made of greatness and destruction.
