As a cadence of thoughts, the exhibition Daisy Chained links artworks that hold and trigger memory, moving between global technological systems and the personal, mundane devices that shape our lives.
When you plug a plug into another electrical plug, that is called daisy chaining. With the intent of maximising functionality and scale, often technologies become useless, counterproductive, or dangerous. These extensions form erratic bodies: overloaded systems pushed beyond their limits, where connection fails to become coherent.
Technologies such as tools, prosthetics, and enhancements are repurposed beyond their original function, taking on layered and sometimes contradictory positions. Many of the objects presented are marked by use or by obsolescence, materially conveying time. Rather than disappearing, they are activated as a kind of afterlife - no longer fulfilling the expectations of their design, yet still charged.
Working across varied mediums, scales, and temporalities, Daisy Chained choreographs artworks that play between the archive and the imagination. Here and in this way, the artists approach memory and its devices as something open: continuously accumulating and shifting meaning over time.

(EN) David Leal (@davidleall ), b. 1993, Caldas da Rainha, lives and works in London. Influenced by vision, psychology and belief systems, Leal works with video, glass and object-led installations to investigate the interior as a way of expressing or unearthing desires, beliefs, and repressed impulses. In Eye Contact he presents a collection of works where the silent senses are foreground. He is interested in them not only in the way they formulate reality, but also in how an excess of sensory experience can invade our unconscious without passing through our conscious mind.

(PT) David Leal (@davidleall ), n. 1993, Caldas da Rainha, vive e trabalha em Londres. Influenciado pela visão, pela psicologia e pelos sistemas de crença, Leal trabalha com vídeo, vidro e instalações centradas em objectos para investigar o interior como um meio de expressar ou revelar desejos, crenças e impulsos reprimidos. Em Eye Contact, apresenta um conjunto de obras em que os sentidos são colocados em primeiro plano. O artista interessa-se por eles não apenas pela forma como estruturam a realidade, mas também pela forma como um excesso de experiência sensorial pode invadir o inconsciente sem passar pelo pensamento consciente.
