SPEED SHOW Paris: Black Rectangle
SPEED SHOW is back! We are very pleased to present a super diverse field of artists from net.art of the 1st generation to current web and screen based practice turning away from the platforms and smartphones to make work for the computer screen again. Back in the days monitors were heavy and computers weren’t mobile. Internet cafes were social spaces to meet and to be on the internet together. Over the years screens became smaller and flatter. Today we spend most of our time isolated on the black rectangle of a smartphone screen but a general fatigue of social media filled with clickbait-aislop has been making its way in the last few years. A young generation of digital artists is again producing exciting works for the computer screen, with pixels, HTML, as games, interaction and with a deep understanding of the web as the true social space. CU you at the cyber cafe!
