The group exhibition Data Doom Desire explores how the rationalist desire to quantify and animate the world through generative means shape not only our perception but also our beliefs and sense of being, highlighting the ramifications of this very impulse. Rather than viewing data-driven processes as purely technical, the works in the exhibition scrutinize how they shape collective sensibilities and more-than-human networks. Technical reproduction and representation – through micro- and macroscopic visualization, sonification, animation, or online feeds — have been central to how we interact with the world and how affective dimensions of reality are shaped: from early land surveys to the rise of modern colonial scientific tools, to data visualization, planetary networks, surveillance systems, military infrastructures and machine learning. Data Doom Desire focuses on biased scientific inquiry, the affective dimensions of online content, the limits of human cognition and the infrastructures of conflict, disaster fiction, and doomed outputs. Opening: 20 Nov, 18:00 with Live performance, Ghost in the Cog by Kenneth Constance Loe and Moritz Nahold (Subletvis) Live performance, EXTC by Joanna Coleman and Martina Moro
