Furtherfield Gallery presents his new exhibition “New World Order from May 20 to June 25, 2017. The gallery provides diverse access points for the creation, authoring, and appreciation of art forms that arise from networked and digital culture.
This exhibition presented by Furtherfield features artworks that considering future world-making by machines, markets and natural process, free from interference by states and other human institutions. Artists Jaya Klara Brekke, Pete Gomes, Rob Myers, Primavera De Filippi of O’Khaos, Terra0, Lina Theodorou and xfx (aka Ami Clarke) imagine a world in which responsibility for many aspects of life (reproduction, decision-making, organisation, nurture, stewardship) have been mechanised and automated. Deferred to the blockchain.
NEW WORLD ORDER artworks include a self-owning forest with ideas of expansion, a self-replicating android flower, a tale of lost innocence, a DIY money making rig, a Hippocratic Oath for software developers and a five-minute marriage contract.
The exhibition is part of a large-scale programme of publications, workshops and talks that bring together leading international artists and writers from across the globe. Launching at Furtherfield Gallery in London’s Finsbury Park 19 May – 25 June 2017, the exhibition will then tour to Aksioma (Ljubljana, Slovenia) in October 2017, as part of State Machines: Art, Work, and Identity in an Age of Planetary-Scale Computation, a collaboration between Furtherfield, Aksioma, Drugo more (HR), Institute of Network Cultures (NL) and NeMe (CY).
