all watched over by machines of tight embrace

About

Curated by Dian Joy, a British-Nigerian transdisciplinary artist recently shortlisted for the Lewisham Arthouse Graduate Award, who will also be exhibiting work with artist Lucy Wheeler, this exhibition delves into the complex interplay between emerging technologies and human existence. Rather than setting up a bifurcated genealogy of nature vs technology, the works in this show confront the challenges and opportunities presented by these innovations. They delve into the joys and the perils of technology’s ability to connect our lives across geographies, glimpse into our social systems, rethink the materiality of the world around us, and challenge what we consider to be recognisable life. In doing so, the artists aim to spark conversations about our place within an ever-evolving landscape.
