Baby Work
BABY WORK is the 3rd edition of Cheang's LOCKER BABY PROJECT which consist of:
BABY PLAY (2001, NTT[ICC], Tokyo) and BABY LOVE (2005, Palais de Tokyo, Paris).
The Locker Baby project conceived in 2001 reflects a time when bioscience is accused
of out of control and scifi fantasia brings forward the future. Deriving from Ryu
Murakami's noted novel Coin Locker Babies (1980) of post-war Japan , the Locker Baby
Project further contests the mother’s heart beats that are so desired for clone babies
born out of lockers. A fictional scenario set in 2030 - the transnational DPT (DollyPolly
Transgency) produces and engages clone locker babies in negotiating human "Memory"
and "Emotion”. The clone baby holds the key to retrieve the networked inter-sphere of
ME-data embedded in a playfield of sonic imagery triggered only by human interaction.
In BABY PLAY, an oversized baby football field with clone baby players; in BABY LOVE, a
