Till Langschied
La tempête dans la nuage informatique
Exhibition
13.05.21 – 24.06.21
* For his solo exhibition "La tempête dans le nuage informatique" Till Langschied expands the installation of silver flags from his work Datapotheosis (2020) to fill the entire space of Zabriskie Point. The flags are reminiscent of Tibetan prayer flags, which send out blessings when moved by the wind. The artist draws a parallel between this religious function and the quasi-spiritual character of data traffic and uploads into an invisible ‘cloud‘. As such an entangled cloud the flags in the exhibition space can be seen as units in a server farm, enduring a constant storm of electronic impulses rushing through them.
In opposition to the cloud of flags Langschied places a messy network of cables on the floor which connects two central towers with a series of aluminum prints that function as portals into a digital reality. The glitched images indicate that this digital reality is generally way more chaotic than the titans of the internet want to make us to believe.
