HYPERSURFACE is a group exhibition exploring the porosity of
surfaces – from the human skin to walls and screens – in order to present
possibilities beyond materiality and signification, and alternative understandings
of our surroundings.
surfaces – from the human skin to walls and screens – in order to present
possibilities beyond materiality and signification, and alternative understandings
of our surroundings.
Employing a transversal approach, the selected artists
present works that showcase their perception of the world and blur antinomies
such as micro/macro, inside/outside, real/virtual and beyond. Surfaces
themselves become, rather than a separator or protective layer, a channel and a
connector between worlds. The show presents a combination of different mediums
playing with softness, transparency, site-specific interventions and virtual
realities where technology functions as a gate to access extended notions of
space and shape reality.
