What does the future of technology hold in a world that is becoming increasingly unstable? How can we remain mindful of the everyday vulnerability that arises when the pursuit of technological progress takes centre stage? It is through these questions that the exhibition Networks of Precarity examines our current technopolitical landscape.
In the prevailing narrative, innovations – with artificial intelligence at the forefront – are presented as futuristic, solution-oriented and inevitable. We are promised a future of progress that is at odds with the friction arising from our use of digital technologies.
Networks of Precarity focuses on the human dimension, bottom-up initiatives and magical traditions in our relationship with technology.
Taking a computer club for older people as an example, Jeroen van Loon demonstrates who gets left behind when digitalisation becomes the norm. In the film Memoria (2013), the latency.club collective shows how Cubans are creating their own model for the future, based on a strong DIY ethos and low-tech solutions. Ginevra Petrozzi's work explores the role that magic can play in our individual and societal relationship with digital systems.
The works on display show how friction and ambiguity can be embraced in an increasingly digital world, thereby creating space for a shared precarious existence.
