Operator solo show at Fellowship London | X-ray Machine public debut
This Thursday 26 June join Operator in London for the opening of their solo show at Fellowship: X-ray Machine: bodily confessions in glass, steel, and light.
Since Spring 2024, Operator has been working in Mexico City designing a sculpture designed specifically to encapsulate Acts I and II of a Human Unreadable artwork into a single custom display mechanism. What started off as a simple challenge to demonstrate that there was movement hiding behind the image, ended in the development of the Operator’s X-ray Machine.

The centerpiece of X-ray Machine: bodily confessions in glass, steel, and light, is X-ray Machine #48, a unique sculpture by artist duo Operator (Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti), an ambitious appendage to their acclaimed generative art project Human Unreadable. Enabling audiences to experience a digitally native artwork without relying on traditional screens, the piece layers complex choreographic data with generative visual outputs to reveal a new kind of imagery.
X-ray Machine - Human Unreadable #48
Viewable from all sides, the sculpture merges art and engineering, generating composite images through meticulously crafted interactions of LED lights, engraved tempered glass, mirrors, stainless steel, and custom electronics. As these layers illuminate and shift, the piece visually "x-rays" itself, revealing the underlying choreography that created the generative artwork. This interplay between the visible and the hidden aligns perfectly with the conceptual heart of Human Unreadable - highlighting the tension between revealing and obfuscating, privacy and expression, within transparent systems.
Through innovative craftsmanship and conceptual depth, X-ray Machine #48 elegantly bridges experimental sculptural practices, engineering, human movement, and generative art offering collectors a uniquely profound way to experience Operator’s groundbreaking exploration of human and machine creativity.

The June 2025 exhibition at Fellowship, X-ray Machine: bodily confessions in glass, steel, and light, also features other works related to Human Unreadable in meticulously curated mediums and forms, including the Choreographic Card Deck: London Edition (2025), a limited edition (3) collectible card deck games designed to activate dance movements through dice-driven performance prompts. Also on view is the Generative Choreography Method Painting, a hand-painted schematic by Dejha Ti that visualizes the technical backbone behind the Human Unreadable collection, echoing traditions of conceptual systems art and algorithmic drawing.
About Human Unreadable
Human Unreadable investigates the intersection of choreography, code, and generative art. Act I "Reveal" introduced chaotic generative visuals directly derived from encoded human dance. Act II "Uncover" allowed collectors to mint the previously hidden choreographic scores embedded within their artworks as separate on-chain SVG pieces. Act III “Witness” is the final performance of an original evening-length work composed of the sequences behind the first one hundred works from the collection, scheduled for Fall 2026.
