Descripton

The Internet is the ubiquitous medium of 21st-century life. It is now our primary mode of connection, entertainment, and research. This exhibition brings together artists who use the Internet as both source and subject, transforming found images and datasets into unique digital projects. Like archivists or archeologists, they mine familiar sites such as YouTube and Google Maps for the curious and poetic. In the resulting artworks, the vast repository of the Internet is posed as a living memory—ever-changing, contradictory, and subject to distortion—where personal histories blur into collective narratives.
