Abstract: | Fragments of Machines is a group exhibition of painting, sculpture, textiles and video work by five contemporary artists based in Glasgow, Berlin, New York and Paris, alongside the first screening in Denmark of Lillian Schwartz's seminal computer-animated 16mm film 'Googolplex', made in 1972. The works on show are diverse but loosely connected by an attempt to question, subvert or undo the relationships between particular technologies and the forms of life they were designed to promote. From the nineteenth-century origins of the digital computer in the industrial revolution to the twenty-first century calculations of virtual capital and online social networking, technology has developed both to serve particular conceptions of social relations and to determine social interactions. In modest, and mostly low-tech ways, the works in this show rebel against the forms of life that industrial technology is employed to produce. Each in its own way proposes a counter move that might critique existing mechanisms or suggest an altered value-system. | ||||
