Black Box
intermedia experience by Dorijan Šiško & Sara Bezovšek
About the exhibition
Black Box is an intermedia experience in the form of a video game and spatial installation. It confronts visitors with the growing complexity of online media fragmentation and the societal shifts driven by ideological polarization and rapid technological advancement. Players will navigate a surreal world populated with memetic, ideological and aesthetic material and discover how their online identities are being formed and shaped by algorithmic forces.
Artists
Sara Bezovšek is a visual artist working in the fields of internet art, experimental film and graphic design. Her artistic practice is characterized by reappropriation of online and pop cultural materials. Using a dense visual language of references, she taps into the collective imaginarium and constructs engaging narratives that are both a critique and a celebration of the highly saturated online media landscapes we navigate daily.
Dorijan Šiško is an intermedia artist and graphic designer whose practice spans the fields of video games, experimental interfaces, spatial installations, 3D graphics, and digital art. In his practice he explores speculative, post-digital, post-internet, experimental, and critical aspects of art and design. By creating virtual visual-theoretical worlds, his works explore themes such as fringe digital culture, parallel realities, the dark side of the internet, alternative futures of humanity, and post-truth.
