Remote Viewing
April 18th - June 28th, 2026
MoNTUE, Taipei, Taiwan
Remote Viewing takes as its point of departure a 1931 experiment in Japan that sought to capture an image of the moon’s far side through mental projection—an achievement no telescope on Earth had yet accomplished. The resulting image, reportedly transmitted mentally by Koichi Mita, was captured on photographic plates under the supervision of Tomokichi Fukurai, the psychologist and psychical researcher. Centered on the claim that distant events could be perceived through mental faculties alone, the experiment belonged to a broader international movement to investigate the hidden capacities of the mind. Presented through an art-historical lens, these previously unseen photographs open onto the exhibition’s broader inquiry into the mind as an imaging apparatus. Curated by Alice Ko.
Bringing together previously unexhibited historical materials and works by artists across generations, Remote Viewing reconsiders the relationship between image, consciousness, and perception. Spanning three floors of MoNTUE, the exhibition explores how images operate as psychic interfaces through which time, voice, and identity may be reconfigured across distance.
