With DIGITAL, the FOTOGALERIE WIEN is dedicating its latest focus series to a topic that is shaping our entire epoch. Speculation about workers spending a great portion of their waking life with their eyes glued to a monitor no longer belongs to the realm of fiction. The globe rotates beneath a net of satellites that continuously generate images of its surface. Almost all of us carry a computer in our trouser pockets, we are all under surveillance, measured and expressed in two numbers: zero and one. Digitalisation has had wide-ranging consequences for photography. Some have declared it dead. But contrarily photographic imaging processes have developed into an important principle of our digital lifestyle. The FOTOGALERIE WIENdares to cast a gaze on this present and show, in four exhibitions centred on the DIGITAL, an overview of the technologies and the reactions of artists to them.
Part of this show are Emanuel Gollob with his EMAP project disarming II and T(n)C with their EMAP proect Retraining Laziness.
The show takes part until 13 July 2024 at FOTOGALERIE WIEN.
