Poster for One Hand

2021 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A restless hand, folding and folding onto itself. It makes no sound... and all the sound in the world. In the era of covid, we have become used to making contact only through digital intermediaries. Touching, making hand contact with each other, has taken on new meaning and new unexpected implications. We increasingly reach without touching, and grasp with hands that remain empty, washing away in a digital stream.

Poster for A Message to the Stars

2021 · ★ 7.0 (2)

For more than 50 years, we’ve been unsuccessfully searching for any evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. But, the discovery of thousands of exoplanets has meant the hope of finding them is higher than ever. If any messages could eventually be decoded and answered in any far, far away star, it could radically transform our consciousness as species and our place in the universe. A message from the stars changes life on Earth… forever.

Poster for Pique Nique Pour les Inconnues. (Rupert and the Frogs Chorus / Paul Mccartney / we all stand together version)

2020 · ★ 9.0 (1)

In Pique Nique pour les Inconnues, Menkman considers the ways in which the history of technology has been defined by standardization, in particular through the use of color test cards for image processing. The work presents les Inconnues - unknown women whose images are linked to the history of image processing. In this work, test cards, bots, virtual assistants, stock photos and others find a voice, but fail to recover their personhood. As Menkman states, “Engineers used these female objects to evaluate the quality of image processing, rendering and composition of architecture and to make these latent spaces more amicable. While these women seem to be able to prolong their existence for as long as the (digital) realms will copy and reuse them, most of them have lost their name and identity.” In this work, the viewer is haunted by the familiarity of these digital ghosts, while at the same time, privy to an uncanny experience when the historically mute images speak for the first time.
