Perhaps you are reading this text on your mobile device?.
Do you have your phone under control or does it have a grip on you in its grip?
The consequences of technological developments on our social lives and relationships is a central theme in the work of Aram Bartholl.
In the current exhibition, Bartholl looks into the digital everyday live. ‚Remind me later‘ is a very well known term for us instantly recognisable to us as users. As a form of reflex and self-defence against the constant stream of new automatic updates, we immediately the click tap othe ‚Remind me later‘ button has become a habitual immediate reaction.
Digitalisation can undoubtedly connect us, but can also produce alienation. Meet with friends? Spend time outdoors in nature? Remind me later. Often, the mobile phone is more captivating of attention than the person sitting opposite. The limitless possibilities of communication have more to offer than real life? Really?
Aram Bartholl investigates the social side effects of digitalisation, and examines their influence on our analogue lives. In doing so, his work often incorporates outdoor space and blends perceptions of the real and the virtual. His work in Arnsberg continues in this vein, with humour and great sensitivity.
Aram Bartholl was born in Bremen in 1972 and lives in Berlin. He is guest professor at the Kunstakademie in Kassel and at UCLA in Los Angeles.
