As an interdisciplinary creative duo that finds ourselves somewhere between art, design, and engineering, our practice exists at the intersection of physical and digital. We like to explore the ways we can tinker with scale and perspective to channel a spatial quality into our works to resonate with people on a visceral level. Our practice is rooted in a joint fascination with the clash between rapid societal progress and the complex human condition.

Through our artistic outputs – whether in the form of experimental film, immersive installation, or animated video art – we aim to highlight bodies, feelings, and narratives typically pushed to the periphery, and create work that serve as mirrors for complex realities.

X+J (Xin Wen + JJ Agcaoili) is a Chinese American and Filipino artistic duo based in London. Their work indulges a deep curiosity in emerging technology and spatial psychology, and their implications on contemporary culture and the human body. 2023 marked the beginning of their award-winning practice in experimental film and interactive media, with exhibitions and public appearances in San Francisco, Linz, Singapore, Berlin, Milan, Bilbao, and London. Their debut site-specific media works, Box Body (Ten Square Singapore, 2023) and EMERGE:NCY (London Piccadilly Lights, 2023), turned massive commercial billboard screens usually reserved for products into stages for bodies on the margins. In 2024, the duo co-founded Many Projects Studio.
