Pandemic-Pandemonium! Curated by Kennii Ekundayo

Galeri ODUMIJE, Lagos (NG)

Pandemic-Pandemonium! is a two-part presentation centered on the collective response of Africans living in Africa vis-à-vis current prevalent issues that threaten humankind — racial discrimination, violence against women and the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst one part makes a statement on the resilience of the human spirit in the face of the deadly coronavirus, the other focuses on the valorization of melanin-rich skin amidst the fatal hostility that accompanies it.

Viral Fiction

Forms of Ownership (INT)

Money and law shape much of our everyday life. In a hyperbole of social sculpture, our artistic practice is anchored in approaching these systems as artistic and creative mediums in themselves.

How to make an Ocean?

Kasia Molga (PL/UK)

Can human tears sustain sea life? Kasia Molga will narrate her journey from the conception of the project, inspired by dealing with personal grief; through the impact of COVID-19 on her initial idea; through the crazy set up of a make-shift wet-lab; to learning how to cry on cue; her efforts to keep tiny sea creatures alive in her tears; and attempts to develop an AI moirologist ―a crying bot to help us all shed some tears.

Journey: Adriatic Garden | aqua_forensic 2.0

The project framework is the aqua_forensic, an ongoing art and science research method developed by Robertina Šebjanič (SI) and Gjino Šutić (HR), which sheds light on the presence of invisible anthropogenic chemical pollutants in the water environment.

Mediation in AIR Gallery

Pangardenia is an epidemic that has taken over the gardens and gardens that have taken over us. It vests everyone with the desire to grow or be grown by somebody else. We, St.-Petersburg artists, want to explore this phenomenon, find the new life forms generated by this epidemic and study the old ones which were preserved and hidden in the gardens. Pangardenia is made up of four paths: Parniki, Abandoned gardens, Wandering gardens, and Post(non)human gardens. One day for each path (subtheme) and a closing move of Pangardenia.

An Online Tour of Dublin’s Tech Infrastructure

Dublin is host to the European headquarters of many of the most powerful and influential tech companies of the modern era, and has become an important strategic location within the context of debates surrounding data sovereignty, privacy and security. By connecting our own personal interactions on digital platforms to the corporate offices in the city centre and to the data centres that surround the city, this tour critically engages with these debates, whilst also reflecting on our relationship with our personal data as it passes through the many visible and invisible networks that surround us.

Axis - Harvesting isolation

Víctor Mazón Gardoqui (ES/DE)

7-day trip from Punta Arenas, 32-hour waiting in front of the Yelcho scientific station Waiting on the high seas for a favorable climatic window to continue sailing, supposes a dislocation of space and time. The parallel 66° 33′ 46″ passes in front of us. A still image exposed to 24 hours of light, on a 360° horizon. The staticity of the sea in the bay of Yelcho. An abrupt and mountainous environment added to the roar of the katabatic winds generates a rupture of perception in scale and distance. The wait. Advancing a small way to the base. Space for registration. The devices -through their sensors- capture the sense of place. A viewing angle of 46° in contrast with the spherical and immersive recording of the hertziosphere, where the alterity of bodies and anthropogenic frequencies in contrast with the autochthonous ones.
