Lawrence Lek Presents NOX Pavilion Exhibition
Lawrence Lek is presenting "NOX Pavilion" at the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach through April 26, 2026, staging works from his Smart City Saga that center on NOX, a fictional therapy center for sentient self-driving cars. The site-specific multimedia installation combines films, a game environment, locative sound and a pavilion structure to explore automation, surveillance, alienation and nonhuman subjectivity.
