BOUNDARIES
MEMO AKTEN (b. 1975, Instanbul, Turkey) is a multy disciplinary artist, musician and researcher working with emerging technologies – particulary software, algorithms and computation – as a medium.
He is best known for creating digital installations that explore the tension between ecology, technology, science and spirituality.
Akten’s latest work, the 8:10 digital animation video titled BOUNDARIES (2023-24), commissioned specially for this exhibition, offers a profound meditation on life and our interconnectedness with the universe. Utilizing cutting-edge arcificial intelligence techniques, this porject envisions barriers and boundaries less as lines of division but more as permeable zones that allow to connect with what lies beyond. Making no a priori distinctions between the things we often perceive as mutually different or incompatible, BOUNDARIES shifts from the molecular to the cosmic and back, elegantly interweaving visuals and souds that borrow from the everyday and the transcendent, the natural and the virtual, the organic and the inanimate …
SALA TIZIANO – Bulgarian Pavilion at the 60th International Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia
THE NEIGHBOURS is an interactive multimedia installation that brings to light the silenced and faded memories of survivors of political violence during the Communist era in Bulgaria. The project was created by Krasimira Butseva, Lilia Topouzova and Julian Chehirian, and is the result of 20 years of historical and artistic research. Vasil Vladimirov is the project curator in the context of Bulgaria’s official participation in the 60th Venice Biennale.
The installation partially recreates the survivors’ homes in which the meetings and conversations with them unfolded. Staged within these private spaces are fragments from oral history interviews conducted by the artists, field recordings and videos from two former camp sites—Lovech and Belene.
These ethnographic and historical investigations trace both the lived experience of violence and the deep scars left by arrests and imprisonment. The project presents the consequences of the deliberate silencing of decades of state violence and the absence of memory in contemporary public consciousness. It forms a space in which one can bear witness to those people labelled as foreigners within Bulgaria’s borders, in direct response to Adriano Pedrosa’s call to analyse the theme of “Foreigners Everywhere”.
