6,070,430K of Digital Spit, Yi’s exhibition for the MIT List Visual Arts Center, takes as its starting point the ambiguous meaning of taste as both bodily sense and aesthetic discernment. Foregrounding the artist’s ongoing project The Flavor Genome, Yi examines how “flavors”—visual, olfactory, gustatory, auditory—can form sense memories and spur longing, although their cultural and economic value is subject to global consumerism and a hierarchy of aesthetics.
