Beschreibung
Technology is a driving force in contemporary life. Today, digital change does not only happen onscreen, but impacts everything from social encounters to ecology. The London-based artist group Troika explores how new technologies affect our relationship with the world around us, through ambitious works that cross
disciplinary boundaries.
Troika—founded in 2003 by Eva Rucki (b. 1976, Germany), Conny Freyer (b. 1976, Germany) and Sebastien Noel (b. 1977, France)—has established itself in the artworld through their critical perspective on how new technologies are integrated into our understanding of landscape, humankind and society.
Troika works across media, including sculpture, film, installation and painting, to explore shifting boundaries between nature and artificiality, the real and the romantic, the living and the non-living, ourselves and others. Their reflections oscillate between what has been lost in a world under the pressures of science and industry, and what is coming into being.
‘Untertage’ provides a comprehensive insight into Troika's work, illustrated with numerous reference images, and presented in the form of an alternative history of a world which asks the question: What if Salt were a sentient being able to sense and influence their environment? How would this change our understanding of the world?
