In a time where meaning is manufactured by marketing departments and guided by the rule that “attention makes attention,” the exhibition asks what remains of authenticity and authorship. Many of the artists assemble found and deteriorated imagery scavenged from the web, the show proposes a counter methodology… self made mythmaking. Losing oneself in the infinite scroll becomes a generative act: a way to reclaim agency through the noise that threatens to erase it. Text by sssluke

It’s an icon that signifies what the good image is supposed to do, and how it fails.’Brian Droitcour‘logging off is the only avant garde act left to do on the internet ’pappachanga‘inject the soul of Mifella, a local figure of great power and mystery, into your fallen friend's body. And thus, the legend of DriFella is born.’evil biscuitMint exhibition flyer here.
