Invitation for the opening of the group exhibition "Decoding the Black Box" on 26.01.2024 at 7 pm with Anonymous, Aram Bartholl, James Bridle, Adam Harvey, Femke Herregraven, Jonas Lund, the !Mediengruppe Bitnik, Metahaven, Chino Moya, Olsen, Mimi Onuoha, Evan Roth and Eryk Salvaggio.

As part of the opening a performance by Valentina Vuksic will take place and we are also looking forward to a DJ set by Rotary Farm aka Evan Roth!

The artists gathered in the exhibition "Decoding the Black Box" shed light on the processes that take place in our end devices, the black boxes. While the capitalist and power-political structures of the internet and the virtual image economy are made transparent, the artists envision counter-designs for a decentralized and democratic use of technologies.

Apollo 11 (Edition unread package insert) is a project using the computer to step once more into territory unknown to human beings.

The mission was completed in 2019, the 50 years anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon, where the computer was instrumental in enabling the astronauts for humans first step on the moon.

Today, 50 years later, the computer serves more than ever to generate new concepts and to advance into new spheres. In this project, the components of the commercially available scale-modelling set of Apollo 11 (Columbia & Eagle) were entered into a computer.

Using a machine learning algorithm, the computer created five different ways to assemble the model. These five models were all assembled far away from the instructions of the package insert coming along with the scale-modelling set and thus show a push into new dimensions previously untouched by human hands.
