🎤 Artist Talk — Leon Sahiti
🍹 Snacks & drinks provided
Join us on 6 December at 3 PM for an artist talk by Leon Sahiti, who will present elements of his evolving installation "soft subtractions: a manual for an inhuman exit", developed during the DATAS Residency.
The work responds to fractured sovereignty in the digital age, exploring how humans — and non-humans — might withdraw from platform governance, algorithmic labor, and techno-feudal infrastructures.
Taking the form of a speculative instruction manual — part archive, part exorcism — the installation assembles bureaucratic fiction, ritual protocols, and digital debris into a fragmented guide for escape. It asks: How do subjects exit systems built to track, extract, and exhaust? And what remains when data refuses domination?
At Lasnamäe Pavilion, Sahiti will present a multi-channel video installation displayed on LED fans, combined with sculptural components and printed bureaucratic documents resembling resignation letters, escape forms, and procedural rites. These materials form a non-linear narrative — a manual that continuously rewrites itself through network collapse, data-stream rituals, and the psychic exhaustion of synthetic agency.
You are warmly invited to listen, discuss, and experience the emerging work inside our temporary showcase — where disappearance meets public display.
About the Artist 🔗 https://leonsahiti.com
Leon Sahiti is an Albanian-Bosnian interdisciplinary artist whose multimedia installations explore digital sovereignty, data economy, privacy, and the dissolution of identity in platform society. By translating communicative codes of internet culture into physical forms, he creates symbolic structures that oscillate between utopia and hypertechnical dystopia. His glitch-laden works reflect on the erosion of real interpersonal relationships in an age of permanent digital connection, balancing irony with deep infrastructural critique.
🌐 "DATAS: The Data and the Sovereign" is a collaborative European cultural programme that examines how computation, automation, and digital infrastructures reshape personal and state sovereignties. It uses art to challenge the normalization of surveillance, data extraction, and digital control, creating space for questioning, resistance, and reimagining complex realities.
Co-funded by the European Union as part of the Creative Europe framework and Goethe Institut-Estland.
