Culture can perhaps be defined as that which does not emerge or grow by itself but needs a helping hand. Paradoxically, there is nothing that comes more natural to humans than culture. Raising a child, cultivating the land – these are more than ‘natural’ things for humans to do, they are cultural undertakings. Over the course of several millennia, from the first agricultural techniques to the hypertechnological civilization we now live in, cultural techniques have liberated us from natural constraints. But in the last few decades we have reached a turning point: humans are free from natural constraints, but nature …
« J’ai voulu créer un futur fantasmé, lieu d’une harmonie possible entre l’humain et la machine ». Quand Salomé Chatriot, 25 ans, énonce son désir à voix haute, on est tout de suite happé. Par ses mots et par ses œuvres. Qui donnent naissance à un univers science-fictionnel étrange, autant dérangeant qu’accueillant. Un nouvel organisme vivant qui se regarde, se touche et se sent. Voire même : se pénètre."I wanted to create a fantasy future, a place of possible harmony between humans and machines." When Salomé Chatriot, 25 years old, states her desire aloud, we are immediately drawn in. By her words and …
GEM Z is an exhibition cast as the speculative crash-landing site of an alien pod. After millennia of humankind looking out into space and beaming messages into the unknown, what if it turned out that someone was gazing back? By employing collective sci-fi imagination, the artists of Generation Z turn the gaze back onto us: this time around, we are not the observer, but the observed. In 1977, Earthlings launched two spacecraft, each equipped with a copy of the Golden Record — a gold-plated audio-visual disc containing information about the diversity of Earth’s life and cultures. These ‘messages in a bottle,’ …

Ecological theorists, such as …

In the world of ecology, an ecotone is a transitional area where two different ecosystems meet, mix and merge. The effect of this mix is an increase in biodiversity, as well as the density and uniqueness of organisms, and the mutual influence between the two ecosystems is called the “edge effect”. This is the perfect metaphor of what is happening throughout society as it pertains to our perceptions and ideas of identity. While the tension between localism and globalization, between a virtual existence without borders or frontiers and an increasingly fragmented social and political reality is radicalized, the artistic practice …
The touchscreen is what we hold in our hand most often and usually the first thing we reach for right after waking up. Technology and intimacy, two traditionally antithetical areas, are nowadays interconnected, both having transformed each other. In the everyday, technology has infiltrated our privacy. It has become the object of our notion and desire, our interlocutor and crutch, but also a dangerous confidant.The exhibition deals with how, after a virtual experience, further emphasized by a pandemic situation, the concept of our privacy and intimacy has changed and what effect it has on our close relationships. Through the work of nine young artists, it questions whether further development is bound for the likes of dystopian sci-fi or whether …
