SUMMARY:GEM Z: The Farthest from Earth We’ve Ever Been
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\n\n\nIn 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\,’ loosely aimed in the direction of intelligent alien species\, are currently the farthest human-made objects from our home planet. They carry images and sounds of Earth — samples of human speech\, musical tracks and illustrations of the structure of DNA — deeper into interstellar space. \n\n\n\nFour decades after the hopeful launch of the Golden Records\, GEM Z imagines an analogous alien treasure trove crashing here on Earth. Inside the precious debris are adornments enclosing genetic data\, all-seeing artificially intelligent eyes\, ornamutational organisms designed for symbiosis\, samples of nuclear animistic beauty\, ritualistic tools and research that de-glamorizes diamonds.  \n\n\n\nThe membranous scenography of the exhibition’s crash site serves as a metaphor for the new narratives offered by the Generation Z makers — oozing and diffusing out of the museum’s walls. The presented  works fuse design\, digital art and adornment\, and were specifically developed for this exhibition by the participants of Current Obsession’s Gem Z Talent Acceleration Programme.  \n\n\n\nExhibited artists\n\n\n\n@computa_hydrates@dovile.bernadisiute@emmie.ray@hanseltaiart@joaveer@lokidolor@rawmisky@smalaskuggan@shhhvonstudio \n\n\n\nInitiated and curated by Current Obsession. \n\n\n\nImage credits: exShoes by @smalaskuggan  – @federmess and @tobiasgroot.jpg – Graphic Design by @_______________lindabeumer
