RAD (Research And Development): An experimental, atelier-style space at the intersection of art and technology.
As part of its strategic initiative to offer dynamic visitor experiences that engage cutting-edge technologies, the Asian Art Museum has presented exhibitions in recent years from some of the world’s most important Asian and Asian American artists working in, or drawing inspiration from, the digital realm. Continuing in this vein, RAD paves the way for the museum’s upcoming collaboration with Chen and his studio thatgamecompany, whose acclaimed releases (including Flow, Flower, Journey, and Sky: Children of the Light) have revolutionized the game world. The RAD laboratory serves as a testing ground for the immersive world of Chen’s 2025 exhibition, which bridges virtual and in-person gameplay.
