Under the guise of the Manila Automat, Mica Agregado explores a plurality of identities that stem from rapid city urbanisation and modernised tradition. She fabricates idealised visions through upcycled kinetic sculptures in plastic, pseudo-corporate zines, faux natural landscapes, and pattern-frenzied karaoke machines, lingering over the ambiguity between class and chintz, corporations and singularity, and mass production and specialty. Involved in zine culture, Manila Automat has also taken part in group exhibitions all over the Philippines.
