For Bangkok Art Biennale 2022, Vatanajyankur collaborates with Pat Pataranutaporn, MIT Media Lab in creating the work titled Voice of the Oppressed (2022). Inspired by a literature The Pedagogy of the Oppressed written by Paulo Freire which argues that the injustice of our society has led to the dehumanization and objectification of individuals, Pataranutaporn created and trained two artificial intelligences named Kawitash1 and Kawitash2. While Kawitash1 represents control, structures, orders and rules, Kawitash2 seeks liberation, and breaking the cycle of exploitation.Voice of the Oppressed (2022) also comprises of live performance, videos, and sculptural installation. The video piece sees Vatanajyankur ‘s body objectified as a gun powder machine. Controlled by Kawitash1, the artist blows and breathes black intoxicated smoke. In parallel, the live performance sees the artist as a water canon attempting to erase the gun powder, cleansing the soot. The act symbolizes the artist’s and Kawitash2’s attempt to redeem humanization.

Vatanjyankur’s work titled VOIDSCAPE (2022) presented in the virtual reality, seeks to discover ways in which laborers compete to survive during rapid stages of change. To question if humans are being dehumanized and becoming more like machines, the body of the artist, in this series, perform various tasks, from dyeing the yarns to ploughing the soil. Created in collaboration with Cyrus James Khan and Central Department Store, the medium brings the audience to interactively experience the new unknown worlds that questions the future of labor and environment affected by capitalism and mass production.
