“Soko’s work, (Bluetooth odyssey, ephemera in search of a subject) perfectly mixes the cocktail of sincerity and irony. Even though the work is formally oblique (i.e. comprised of non-utilitarian, novel forms) and (rightly) unlabelled, you can’t help feeling that the artist is standing in front of the work, pointing at it (a subject in search of ephemera, so to speak)"
