Decoding the Black Box

27. January – 2. June 2024
Group Show, Galerie Stadt Sindelfingen, Sindelfingen

Die Ausstellung Decoding the Black Box bringt Künstlerinnen und Künstler zusammen, die Licht in diesen dunklen Raum und die Prozesse werfen, die sich in ihm ereignen. Sie legen dabei nicht nur die Funktionsweisen digitaler Technologien wie beispielsweise von künstlicher Intelligenz offen, sondern visualisieren zugleich die Auswirkungen, die sie auf unsere Wahrnehmung von Realität und unser In-der-Welt-Sein haben. Während sie die ökonomischen und machtpolitischen Strukturen der digitalen Technologien und insbesondere des Internets transparent machen, zeigen sie Gegenentwürfe für eine dezentralisierte, humanere und demokratischere Nutzung ebendieser auf.

Curated by Aram Bartholl & Socrates Stamatatos

Speed Show lands in Greece, the country of souvlaki, the sun (yes we can claim that they originated a celestial body), ouzo, feta, an enormous financial debt. Currently, Greece is also trending for all the wrong reasons namely, gentrification, queerphobia, state crimes and more dystopic incidents.
As 2024 unfolds, we find ourselves amidst a whirlwind of confusion, bombarded with a cacophony of online horrors to consume, an attention span further abbreviated by TikTok’s algorithm and the barrage of incoming stitches.

Stitches Incoming serve as a conduit for creators to engage and converse, traversing from one topic to the next. They have evolved into a new social fabric, weaving connections within an ever-shifting digital and physical landscape while also serving as a testament to personal and collective traumas, both past and present.

What unites the participating digital artists? Perhaps everything and nothing simultaneously… Departing from the traditional Speed Show setup, where artworks are carefully stacked inside internet cafe computers, and drawing inspiration from the structure of TikTok stitches, each piece seems to propel the conversation forward, or perhaps uses the next as a springboard for its own narrative.

Stitch this and stitch that, we have everything you ever wanted (maybe) ! Are we stuck in an infinite loop of sh*tposting, valuable content, the highlight of social issues, personal and interpersonal experiences?
Maybe! Come and find out…

'Making Future Collaboration'

June 22, 2011

Making Future Collaboration – FRI 8 JULY, 11AM-5PM, Broadway, Nottingham

The fusion of digital technologies, art and design has given birth to pioneering new approaches to creation that are playful, disruptive, functional and responsive. It has also enabled collaborative projects to be conceived and developed remotely across vast distances.

For this final MFW forum we are pleased to welcome Evan Roth, the inventor of the EyeWriter, a tool that gives people who have lost the function to draw, the ability to create art with the use of their eyes; and Aram Bartholl who manipulates video game design to connect the virtual with the real to present alongside our commissioned artists Hetain Patel & Barrett Hodgson, Mudlark, Brendan Oliver & Brendan Randall, and IBI.

The exhibition Land Art for a New Generation opens at Showroom MAMA on June 17, 2011. In relation to this show artist Aram Bartholl will lead the “Dead Drops master class” in Rotterdam on June 29 organized by MAMA and V2_.
Dead drops were spots where Cold War spies left information behind for others to pick up. In 2010, Aram Bartholl started his Dead Drops project, for which he installed USB memory sticks in public locations. Everyone is welcome to upload or download information, creating an anonymous, offline, peer-to-peer network for the exchange of files. More information about the project and current Dead Drop locations is available at www.deaddrops.com.


Master class
Aram Bartholl will begin the master class with a presentation about his project. Participants will then have an opportunity for discussion. They will subsequently divide into small groups, begin making their own Dead Drops, and give brief presentations about them. The Dead Drops will then be installed in walls in Rotterdam.
