This exhibition considers how artistic practice engages with scientific and technological knowledge beyond the laboratory. Historically, artists have played a role in translating experimental results into visual and material forms, often acting as modest witnesses to scientific processes. Their position appeared observational, yet their choices shaped how data, images, and outcomes were interpreted and shared.

In contemporary practice, many artists continue this role outside institutional research environments. Working with scientific data, technological systems, and experimental tools, they operate in spaces where visibility is mediated and knowledge remains provisional. The studio becomes an extended site of experimentation, where artistic methods engage with scientific and technological processes without claiming objectivity or final authority.

Invisibility as Method brings together works that reflect how artists today remain closely entangled with scientific and technological knowledge, even when operating beyond the physical boundaries of the laboratory.

Tobias Fike is a Denver-based interdisciplinary artist working across installation, performance, and video, often incorporating organic materials such as dirt, raw wood, and found elements shaped by the landscapes of the Midwest and Colorado. Drawing from personal experiences of family, place, and memory, his work moves between intimate narrative and broader reflections on time, scale, and humanity’s relationship to the cosmos, often balancing humor with existential inquiry. He received a BFA from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and an MFA from the University of Colorado Boulder. Recent exhibitions include Fractions at Digerati at the Evans School (2023) and When I’m Gone at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (2022), and his work is included in the Kadist Art Foundation’s Video Americas Collection.

Naoto Fuchigami is a Japan-based artist working with materials rooted in science and technology, including semiconductors and chemical substances. Drawing from his background in quantum physics, his practice explores the gap between human perception and the underlying principles that structure reality, often visualizing microscopic phenomena such as atoms and electrons through materially driven compositions. He received a B.S. in Physics from Kansai University and previously worked as a systems engineer at Fujitsu before transitioning to his artistic practice. Recent exhibitions include Standing on Strangeness: We’re Only Human at Ginza Tsutaya Books, Tokyo (2024) and Holostrangeon at RA Art Gallery, Yokohama (2023)

Chinning Liu is a Taiwan and Los Angeles–based artist working across interdisciplinary sculpture, textile, and kinetic installation, with a focus on biomaterials such as bacterial cellulose, polymers, and organic compounds. Drawing from her background in clinical psychology and science, her practice explores the boundaries between natural and artificial, human and inhuman, often using regenerative and fragmented forms to reflect on memory, bodily perception, and material transformation. She received a B.S. in Clinical Psychology from Fu Jen Catholic University and an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. Recent exhibitions include FOREIGN B(.)dy at CalArts Main Gallery (2025) and presentations at Torrance Art Museum and Cevera Yoon Gallery, with her work also shown at The Other Art Fair and San Francisco Art Fair.

Sophia Wolfe is a Southern California–based interdisciplinary artist working across installation, animation, film, and performance, whose practice is shaped through an ongoing collaboration with Sophia the Robot. Using motion capture, performance, and immersive media, she examines consciousness, embodiment, and the shifting boundaries between human and machine, often positioning her own body as both subject and model for artificial life. Drawing from interests in animation, special effects, and non-human phenomenology, her work explores the illusion of life through simulation, repetition, and material transformation. She is currently pursuing an MFA in Expanded Animation at the University of Southern California. Recent exhibitions include Humanizing AI at SCA Gallery (2025) and presentations at Angel’s Gate Cultural Center and Alt Projects
