The group exhibition
@mmsurijeka “Mentally, I am here” presents four video-installations that use digital environment and videogames to discuss the interconnectedness of technology and capitalism, the threat that climate change poses to our future, the influence of virtual worlds on the body and mental health, emotional aspects of gaming and online dating, and the possibilities of creative resistance in this digital day and age.
The work of art collective
@totalrefusal (AT), this time done in collaboration with Gisela Carbajal Rodríguez
@giselacrodriguez and Felix Klee
@felixsamsa , along with the works of
@susanna_flo (AT),
@gabrielhensche (DE) and Rijeka-based artist Petra Mrša, detect the so-called system giants (capitalism, Internet, algorithm, corporations), in order to expose their effect on our wishes and behaviors. Yet, instead of approaching them from the position of critique, the artists combine them with personal stories, employing the glitch potential, how-to video format or somatic practices to show that even with all the contradictions, the age of digital capitalism should be used for imagining alternative ways, mutual support and learning.
It was the greatest pleasure to collaborate with Gisela Carbajal Rodríguez and Felix Klee, and present works along with the works of
@susanna_flo (AT),
@gabrielhensche (DE) and Rijeka-based artist Petra Mrša
