Alice Scope is originally from Kyiv, Ukraine. She is an art curator, educator, and cultural producer at Vellum LA, a women-led NFT gallery for digital art based in Los Angeles, where she has worked with internationally acclaimed artists like Lu Yang, IX Shells, Operator, Keiken, etc.
In 2016, she founded the first Experimental Art Center, AkT, in Ukraine, which supports young Ukrainian artists and was the first center in Ukraine to showcase art in Virtual Reality for a broad audience.
Alice's passion is to create speculative worlds through gaming, XR, blockchain, and performance. She explores the topics of posthumanism, potential future adaptations, and pushing the boundaries between reality and fantasy. Her recent exhibitions "Posthuman Island," "Webtaura," "Hotel Blue," and "Postgender" were shown at SXSW, Denver Digerati Digital Art Festival, NFT Biennial, EDAF, and Wrong Biennale.
NFT Biennial x Vellum LA x UnicornDAO presents “POSTGENDER”. The exhibition aims to bring forth conversations about postgenderism between artists, collectives, curators and audiences.
POSTGENDER runs January 26 - February 12, 2023 at Vellum LA. Artworks will be presented on state-of-the-art LED Luma Canvas displays, and powered by Tezos.
Human after all. A collective of creatives moves past the paradigm of defined terminology into a transhumanist manifesto. We are the new undefined state of gender, one that presents fluid utopic dynamics in shaping oneness. What if we, as a culture, moved past traditional gender roles into new states of identity? What would we call it?
As technology and art pave the way for our identities which thrive in safe spaces beyond our physical bodies into celestial realms of avatar gender bending sources. We are anything we wish to be. The exhibition explores what it means for us as a collective of progressive individuals to develop a new language to overcome the paradigms of archaic gendered narratives.
The exhibition invites local and global audiences alike to engage with their practices through a physical exhibition at Vellum LA on Melrose and digitally through the NFT Biennial Metaverse.
