Within a context of unsettled freedoms and ideological competition, the speculative infrastructure of OKKULTEK, a fictional agency dedicated to researching paranormal and parapsychological phenomena, is presented. Operating at the intersection of occultism and technology, the exhibition opens its doors to new agents. The exhibition stages a moment of possession, featuring the manifestation of an entity codenamed MIKE. This entity has escaped from a music video and settled between symbols of the car and uranium. A space unfolds where the illusion of speed and the myth of control merge with messages from other dimensions. The form of a wedge defies vehicle functionality, transforming it into a symbol of desire, while piercing eyes serve as a warning and a lure towards a perilous spin. The summoning may be instantaneous, bringing forth an entity from other spheres.
The exhibition is listed as free admission. It is open daily from 13:00 to 19:45.
