“I had to find a way to present my piece, When someone you love is sick you do what you can to help them thrive, which primarily consists of a web application, and that’s when I started to think about the ‘body’ of the institution as a critical point of fixture. In my parralel job I was previously employed in a datacenter, and there you deal with the internet as a concrete and physical entity, and yet I had the experience that we’ve learned to view the internet as something completely opposite of that: invisible and inaccessible. In that sense both contemporary art (through elitist institutions, e.g.) and software culture (through technological scale, e.g.) are being made inaccessible by powerful stakeholders who enable the economic growth paradigm and uphold a right-wing populist turn in contemporary art here at home as well as in the western colonial exploitation of resources – like minerals and labor power – in the global south.” – AFGANG Catalogue (https://detfynskekunstakademi.dk)
