poetics of reality (encoded) | brigitte kowanz and troika

About

Poetics of reality (encoded) brings together for the first time the works of Brigitte Kowanz and the artist collective Troika, expressing through dialogue their experimental approaches to human perception and the transmission and mediation of information. Both artistic positions question different forms of representation via a subversive examination of abstraction and new pictorial formulas. Their works operate in a long tradition in the fine arts of utilizing scientific methods, but they are about more than powerful aesthetic and conceptual visual phenomena; rather, through language, codes, and algorithms they pursue a critical examination of contemporary issues, from climate policy to digitization.
