About this Event
In the digital era, we are not only sentient beings who experience life, we are also measurable units in vast, invisible networks. We have learned to see ourselves in a way that is convenient for the digital platforms to gather information. This merging of the technological and human gaze raises pivotal questions: How much are we interacting with technologies as if they are an extension of our body? How much are we sacrificing for predictability, efficiency, and productivity? How do we maintain a balance between the subjective joy of life and the efficient exchange of energy?
Wyvern Art Fund is pleased to present Invisible Networks, an exhibition and event program taking place at MOOS Space (Moosdorfstraße 7-9, 12435 Berlin) from June 23 to June 30, 2024. Invisible Networks is the culminating collective curatorial project of the Wyvern Art Fund Scholarship program, which has brought together eight artists and thinkers over four months to explore the ways that the technological gaze manifests and affects us on personal, somatic, social, and structural levels.
Participating artists include Alistair Alexander, Ipek Burçak, Rocket Loam, Asa Maynard, Viky (mvm.alves), Susan Ploetz, Maya Weinberg, and Ma Yongfeng.
The ways we see ourselves through technology also influence the ways we are able to imagine futures and relations. While exploring both the potentials and limits of technologically intermediated sensing, seeing, and knowing, Invisible Networks asks: What would it take to inspire hope and action instead of dystopian self-destruction? How can we appreciate connections with other humans, animals, and plants that are less mediated by digital interfaces? Where is our agency to decide how to interact with this evolving landscape?
Hidden tickets for free drinks during the opening: 7pm, 23rd June, 2024!
