second part of Dark Society // curated by Alfredo Ciannameo<br>
<br>
/// CONCEPT<br>
In the fundamental state of media obliquity, re-interpreting Boris Groys: if<br>
techniques of mechanical reproduction gave us (sub)jects without aura,<br>
digital production generates aura without (sub)jects, transforming all its<br>
materials into vanishing markers of a self-advertised present as a constant<br>
imperative ruling the online comedy.<br>
<br>
The contemporary interaction trough social media means to quantify the<br>
cultural desire of self in terms of user-clicks and offers, as condition of<br>
success, easy availability to pre-defined aesthetics. But, on the other<br>
side, dark entities and activities happen to contaminate bodies and<br>
perceptions, bending the limits of social norms while infesting the world<br>
with new social manifestations.<br>
<br>
If latter monitors interacts by means of obscure algorithms and normalizing<br>
forces, dark-embodiments allows the rupture of the crystalline morals,<br>
bursting with tentacles and petrochemicals that comprise new ontological<br>
memories, expanding our conceive of the body as an open-architecture,<br>
redesigning situations where the urgency of physicality can be discussed<br>
through technology and science.<br>

SPEKTRUM is a project space in Neukölln for idealisation, realisation and<br>
exhibition of technology-based artworks, media-focused events and futuristic<br>
utopias based on the principle "do-it-together-with-others". Above all, we<br>
are an open space promoting participatory processes to co-define and<br>
co-design a social and physical playground for curiosity and critical<br>
understanding.<br>
