‘P(Control) = 1’ by Wisit Techasirikosol

Derived from the mathematical probability formula that calculates the likelihood of the occurrence of an event, this exhibition explores the concept of free will — or lack thereof. More specifically, the exhibition invites visitors to question whether humans were born with free will or whether there are invisible elements that control us and our decisions. This question is posed and explored via geometric abstract artworks inspired by several components including capitalism, traditions, and the environment. 

‘P(Control) = 1’ runs from 10 February until 24 April 2022 at River City Bangkok. You can find out more via River City Bangkok.
