Join The Dots / Unire le distanze
group exhibition / Imago Mundi

Salone degli Incanti, Trieste, Italy
29 May – 2 September 2018

Join the Dots is an exhibition of 40 collections: it is an invitation to join the dots by following the red thread that unites the 40 collections on show. Trieste, which has always been a centre for the exchange of ideas and trade, is the starting point for an itinerary of land and sea, which takes us from the shores of the North Sea to legendary Baghdad, from sunny Morocco to the Danubian steppes, from Baltic beaches to the Negev desert. All thanks to the kaleidoscope of images proffered by the works of over 6,300 artists. In addition, Join the Dots is a series of meetings and events that will animate the summer in Trieste, with a calendar of activities that is currently being defined.

by Igor Štromajer
[from the 7h!5 !5 n07 4 7357 series]

The router is used as an autonomous gallery space to show digital artworks. Artworks are distributed by the router through its local network with no Internet connection; all artworks are accessible at the local site only. Artworks are presented on a small web server included on the router, with access granted through an open WLAN/WiFi. The format brings both the intimate character of Net-Art-Activities back to a site-specific relation and opens up new possibilities for a discursive reception in a public situation.

Iza kulisa – vizualni kodovi mreže

Izložba smještena u prostoru Galerije VN, čije materijalne premise čine zidovi u Ilici 163-a, polazi od internetskih zidova net.cube galerije koji se šire prostorom i vremenom onoliko koliko to dopuštaju izloženi umjetnički radovi. Ipak, izložba “Iza kulisa – vizualni kodovi mreže” ne prenosi, čak i ne prevodi radove izložene u net.cube galeriji, već nastoji ukazati na njihovu nevidljivu materijalnost. Izloženi su predlošci, skice i nacrti važni za proces nastanka online radova Darka Fritza, Dine Karadžić i Vedrana Glige, Darka Masneca, Tee Stražičić i Igora Štromajera.

The Day My Internet Art Paid Off! is an exhibition featuring works by Željko Badurina, Maja Čule, Hrvoje Hiršl, Dina Karadžić, Tea Stražičić and Igor Štromajer, all of which touch upon different economic aspects dictated by the new relations on the web.

The works are inspired by phenomena on the web, which is reflected in their concept, production, understanding and reception. They are symptoms, but also the consequences of Internet reality, some of them only available online. By translating them into a gallery, the boundaries between the material and the virtual world become even more blurry.

Tabs, procrastination, self-promotion, collaboration, spam, comment sections, shares, likes – these are all fragments, be it material or digital, of circulating data. On the web, the circulation performed by numerous users gives value and power to the transfer of information. Therefore, Internet economies do not only allude to typical digital financial transfer protocols, but are also based, to a large extent, on generating symbolic capital, i.e., values. Bearing in mind the context of the web as a corporate and supervised medium, the exhibition brings to the forefront the artist’s reactionary role in relation to the economic models developed on the 2.0 web.

Assuming that Internet reality today impacts the way we act, socialise and think, the exhibition examines how the Internet and digital economies influence the life and position in society of the people who use them. That is to say, the users are the ones who provide information online in exchange for freedom, agreeing to be resourced to particular corporations, or, as Andrew Lewis put it in 2010, if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product. This is why the exhibition pinpoints the intersections of apparently divided worlds within the existing economic setup; on the one hand, the production itself is marked by the current economic state, while on the other, the online world is the extraordinary place of exploitation and experimentation.
