Beyond Vision: Non-human Camera Gestures
The exhibition aims to observe media "gestures" that free themselves from the intentions of the subject/author and productively (perhaps even autonomously) participate in the creation of “our” reality. In particular, through technical images that reinforce the gesture of the camera and apparatus, the exhibition will present situations in which the trajectory of the sensing devices is detached from the controlling subject and is determined by wind or water flow, triggered by automatic sensors, operated through the algorithmic networks or subordinated to non-living and non-human "cameramen". In addition to artworks, we want to present older media experiments alongside industrial, medical and other types of images, through which we will be able to trace a certain genealogy of the autonomisation of technical devices and their (visual) outputs.
