Through the journey of the protagonist Petra Genetrix across fictional and imaginary spaces and physical and virtual borders in her single channel video Porosity Valley, Portable Holes (2017), Ayoung’s work engages us with as-yet unexplored sociopolitical, ethical, and environmental dimension of data migration through the bodies, rocks, and optical fibers. Her work brings the phenomenon of data migration into our perception, by giving a data a tangible form and linking it with the sensory and affective textures of media infrastructure. Going further, Ayoung’s Porosity Valley 2: Tricksters’ Plot (2019)—revolving around the micro/macro histories and local and global socio-political issues— interrogates the ways in which Yemeni refugees in South Korea are treated and represented as a threat of virus or malware, thereby shedding light on the biopolitical control over both refugee migration and data migration.
