cancelled:THE LAST DAY ON EARTH10 days/10 exhibitions7 - 15 APRIL 2018
presented by Chiara Williams Contemporary Art.
The Last Day on Earth is an experimental work-in-progress exhibition that continuously alters/transmutes over the course of 10 days culminating in one new instalment per day. As Crate Project Space is not a gallery as such but rather an environment to undertake projects as the name suggests, Rechsteiner is going to use it as an exhibition studio-lab where he will be working within a clearly defined framework in terms of theme and materials. The experimentation/research concludes with a new exhibition instalment daily at 2pm. Visitors are welcome to come along during the opening times at any time. The results will be published online and/or as a live stream. The project will officially be launched with a preview party of the first instalment on Friday 6 April 6pm – 9pm.
BackgroundThe Last Day on Earth explores the challenges, dangers & impacts of the continuous digitalisation that is radically transforming the way we live & communicate with each other. The continuing efforts to merge the analogue with the digital world & the eventual digital dominance is one of the most precarious & dangerous events in human history. The rise of smart objects able to interact with other smart objects & learn from each other through machine learning (AI) is not science fiction but a scary reality. Companies & governments invest huge sums of money in this development. The Internet of Things (IoT) has already infiltrated daily basic activities, & for some reason we all seem exhilarated & excited by it. |
