A guide, is a collection of information leading
through unknown topics or places often utilized with the aim of exploration.
The exhibition takes its title from the 1977’s
science-fiction comedy series - The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy - created by Douglas Adams and used as inspiration for the first web open
encyclopaedias.
The concept of classification and presentation
of worldly knowledge is taken as a point of departure to reflect about
perception, reality and the internet in a post-digital age.
The show revolves around the constitutive
textual and visual elements of digital interfaces, as layout, audio and content
accessibility, overlooking at their legacy and influence within contemporary
artistic practice.
Computer, i-phone and i-pad rapidly evolving
formats and mass-producing images and (mis)-information contribute to a new
configuration of the world often biased, constantly shifting between physical
and digital, fictional and personal, influencing the way we absorb and
understand reality.
This duality and its contextualisation is
explored through the work of eight international artists, looking at the
convergence between embodied media and mixed reality in social and physical
communication, contemporary artistic production and digital vision.
