If you are in Hong Kong next month, please let me know so I can send you an invitation to the reception. If you can’t make it, hopefully I’ll see you soon.

I am proud beyond words to be presenting this work at DE SARTHE, a gallery that has built possibly the most exciting roster of digital artists of any gallery in the international art community today.

I have been working on these pieces for the past year: a set of sculptures that collage electromechanical pinball components, and a suite of video game levels. I will say more about the work in the days to come. I think they’re fresh, I think they're funny, I think they're a bit heartbreaking.

I think about this comic strip on the back cover of “Wilson” by Daniel Clowes at least once per week:

I made this game to Remember some World Cup Guys. You draft Guys from World Cups 1994-2022, simulate a tournament, then you get fun facts to remember the guys. letsremembersomeworldcupguys.vercel.app P.S. This is not art, I just enjoy Remembering World Cup Guys

Let's Remember Some World Cup Guys

A game where you draft some World Cup guys and remember them, and then try to win the World Cup.

So: yes! If this art has a social purpose (a big if!), it's to give the user an experience reframing their perspective on their own, with the hope that this toolset remains with the viewer to be applied in real-life contexts.

... when they walk the viewer out to the boundaries of their enclosing system, and show off the view from there.

Mitchell F. Chan @chan.gallery · 29/01/2026

This is not really a unique tactic! Reframing is a system. I think most "systems art" (expansive definition: art built in conceptual systems à la LeWitt; art built in technological systems à la Molnar) are at their best ...

Mitchell F. Chan @chan.gallery · 29/01/2026

The act of "reframing" is deliberately underlined in my art. It's underlined REALLY heavily, because it's a formal mechanism in my art and it's the subject matter of my art, and the subject matter points back to that formal mechanism.

Hi Nora! I think you nailed the whole point just in the way that you phrased your question.

For @artforum.com I wrote about @chan.gallery's series of "Zantar" video game artworks, which I saw and played at Nguyen Wahed in New York in May. These works are funny, sad, and a biting critique of crypto, the attention economy, and gamified finance. www.artforum.com/columns/mitc...

One of the most amazing things I ever experienced was the time that @chan.gallery realized that you could buy the sauce in bulk, and put it in one of those heated fountains that most people put chocolate in, and that you could dip chicken in flowing cascades of the stuff.
