This exhibition, 'Digital I - Artefakte,' at OstLicht Gallery for Photography, delves into the pervasive impact of digitalization on photography and contemporary life. It explores how digital images, often perceived as perfect, reveal their materiality and technical processes through artefacts and glitches.
The exhibition 'Digital I - Artefakte' at OstLicht Gallery for Photography addresses the profound and epoch-shaping influence of digitalization on our lives and, specifically, on photography. The show challenges the notion that digital imaging is purely inorganic and rational, highlighting how photographic processes have become integral to our digital existence. Photographs, now produced and consumed in vast quantities, serve as interfaces for emotions, desires, fears, and dreams, often displayed on small screens. This exhibition, the first in a series focused on DIGITAL, uses the concept of 'artefact' in its dual meaning: both as something created by human hands and as an aberration or error arising from the image-making process. Digital image artefacts, such as noise or pixel clusters, are presented as elements that make the mechanics of the apparatus visible, revealing the physicality and materiality of digital imaging despite its often-perceived perfection. The exhibition, curated by Johan Nane Simonsen, draws parallels between artistic creations and errors, emphasizing how both materialize something unexpected, push through from one reality into another, and take on autonomous form, interrupting the illusion of coherence.
This exhibition runs from 3 November 2022 to 14 January 2023. Further ticketing details are not provided on this page.
