Still up? You should come over right now. LOL.
Want your hair pulled? Your ass slapped? Your hair pulled and your ass slapped by someone who loves Taylor Swift and shares your views on Globalism?
There’s an app for that.
Duchamp’s readymades have been converted to algorithms and injected into the Matrix—now our every impulse is readymade. Any bodily desire articulated in 140 characters or less can be solicited and obtained in the time it takes one to discover the proper dating site. Casual encounters no longer exist; predictive technology has already vacuformed your latest nascent kink in plastic for evening delivery (afternoon if you’re a Prime member); the FBI has surveiled and persecuted you for it; a Russian troll farm has pulled it out of context and publicly shamed you.
Every facet of personal interaction is preordained by community guidelines, chatroom moderators, and pirate, national, and corporate Peeping Toms. The casual, the discrete, and the kinky are increasingly formal.
tl;dr: Formal Encounters is an exhibition of the artist at her most privately public.
Nu dormi? Ar trebuii sa vii incoace imediat. LOL.
Vrei sa fii trasa de par? Palme la fund? Trasa de par si palmuita la fund de cineva care iubeste pe Taylor Swift si impartaseste opiniile tale in privinta “globarizarii”?
Exista o noua aplicatie pentru asa ceva.
Readymade-urile lui Duchamp au fost convertite in algoritmi si injectate in Matrix—acum orice impuls este “readymade”. Orice dorinta carnala articulate in 140 caractere, sau mai putin, poate fi solicitata si obtinuta in cat timp iti ia sa te adresezi “dating site”-ului respectiv. Intalnirile ocazionale nu mai exista; tehnologia predictiva deja a preambalat si stantat in plastic orice dorinta incipienta si a programat deliverarea de seara (dupa amiaza, daca esti un membru VIP); FBI-ul te-a survolat si acum te urmareste penal; o scoala ruseasca de hackers deja au luat lucrurile din context si acum te fac de rusine in public.
Orice aspecte ale interactiunii personale sant predeterminate de ghiduri comunitare, moderatori in chatrooms si retele pirat, nationale si corporatiste. Relatiile ocazionale, discrete sau perverse sant din ce in ce mai formale.
tl;dr: Formal Encounters este o expozitie a artistului la cel mai privat moment public.
‘Formal Encounters’ is a group exhibition of policy challenging juxtapositions that speculate calculated instances of commodity in its most forbidden forum. Berlin Art Link spoke to curator Ben Lee Ritchie Handler about the current show at Bucharest’s Galeria Nicodim...
Written in red, the phrase “Formal Encounters is an exhibition of the artist at their most private public moment” closes with a bang the curatorial pseudo-fiction that accompanies the most recent exhibition at Nicodim Gallery in Bucharest, Formal Encounters.
La fostul combinat la fondului plastic, la Galeria Nicodim puteţi vizita acum şi expoziţia Formal Encounters unde, obiectele de artă pot fi şi distractive - măsuţe de pe care îţi alunecă paharul, scaune de pe care aluneci sau un bar care se mişcă...
Propunerea Galeriei Nicodim pentru aprilie este o expozitie care vorbeste despre modificarea interactiunsilor dinte oameni, cu ajutorul ghidurilor comunitare, al moderatorilor din chatroom-uri, al pirateriei ș.a.m.d...
Nicodim Gallery is hosting a group exhibition titled “Formal Encounters” at its Bucharest venue. The exhibition is a take on life affected by hi-tech apps. Every facet of personal interaction is preordained by community guidelines, chatroom moderators, and pirate, national, and corporate Peeping Toms. The casual, the discrete, and the kinky are increasingly formal.
