The exhibition marks the culmination of the research and visual practice generated throughout Susana G. Larrañaga’s PhD in Digital Arts, which investigates the toxic and the Web 2.0.
Using an imaginary of the ruderal, of disturbed landscapes and their organisms, this post-digital exhibition brings forth a material and plural view of online and offline more-than-human relations. Reflecting on the accumulative toxic emergence of the Web 2.0: materially and psycho-socially polluting, online conspiracy theories concomitant to the pollution of mineral extraction.
Utilising a predominantly rubble-based artistic practice, which reversely mines data streams, Documents of the Web 2.0 explores anti-social practices online while shifting vision to anthropogenic landscapes. The artworks, which generate tension between medium and content, highlight the luxurious materiality of the digital and our current posthuman condition.
