Emmanuel Van der Auwera will present his VideoSculpture XXV (Archons) in Poetics of Encryption, a group show at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, running from September 28, 2024 to January 12, 2025.
Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents this year's major group exhibition in close collaboration with KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin. Poetics of Encryption explores the dark side of tech, bringing together 38 international artists. Installed in Kunsthal Charlottenborg’s grand south wing, the exhibition spans analogue and digital media featuring historic and newly commissioned works.
Though we rely on digital tools for many things, we rarely understand how they work. Moreover, due to the proprietary nature of much corporate tech, even the most curious among us cannot gain deeper insight. Today, we are forced to come to terms with our relative lack of power in the face of inscrutable systems. What symptoms of this personal and political drama register in the cultural field? What moods, symbols, or narrative frames capture the aesthetics and politics of exclusion, occlusion, secrecy, and speculation concerning technology’s inside?
The exhibition is curated by Nadim Samman, the author of the recent book titled Poetics of Encryption. Art and the Technocene.
