From the hyper-engineered post-nature worlds of Marc Lee’s Speculative Evolution (where artificial intelligence and synthetic biology collude to imagine future species) to the algorithmically generated collages of influencer-culture in Malte Steiner’s The Tradwives (which sifts data from Instagram to reflect on domesticity, ideology and media) , the works assembled here challenge familiar binaries — human/machine, craft/automation, nature/tech.
In the works by Paul Magee (Signal), Rajat Mondal (Cube Insect), Senaida Ng (KUNST KAPUTT), Nick Montfort (A Series of Tubes), Hadaly Villasclaras (Bouquet v1.0), Francisco Ortiz de Carvalho (W.I.P.: Caete Scope) and the visual / punk collective amazin poet / visual_punk_ltd, the exhibition covers a spectrum of approaches: live-coding, speculative hardware, aesthetic sabotage, interactive storytelling and post-internet flora.
DIY Thread traces connections between art, activism, and technology by revisiting 23 years of the Piksel archive. It highlights projects where artists took tools into their own hands—modifying, reinventing, or even destroying technology to open new cultural and political perspectives.
