Black Box – an intermedia experience by Dorijan Šiško & Sara Bezovšek at panke.gallery
https://panke.gallery/exhibition/black-box
opening: Thursday, 17 July at 19:00
Black Box is a manifestation of fully algorithmically driven curation, encapsulated in the form of a video game. The intermedia installation codes between the physical and virtual realms, tasking players with exploring the inner workings of a deconstructed recommender system that forms, facilitates, and amplifies online identities. In a political environment where the Overton window is drastically shifting, the complex relations among different ideologies and identity positions can be difficult to fully grasp. Players navigate this dense memetic landscape by feeding themselves into different filter bubbles and interacting with diverging pills, creating an aesthetic representation of their internet-mediated belief system.
Development: Esben Holk

Sara Bezovšek is a visual artist working in the fields of internet art, experimental film and graphic design. Her artistic practice is characterized by reappropriation of online and pop cultural materials. Using a dense visual language of references, she taps into the collective imaginarium and constructs engaging narratives that are both a critique and a celebration of the highly saturated online media landscapes.
