VIRGIL AND NOT VIRGIL
The Boros collection in berlin. Probs my fav gallery. I dunno if it could be any more Berlin, unless you were seeing a sex art performance in Berghain.
KATJA NOVITSKOVA - Pattern of Activation
"Katja wants to bring out the mundane of digital stock images and give them a world of their own "...they become almost like this visual Stonehenge”.
Activating a human response! A white pony, a trampoline and a bouncy red arrow. What do we feel and what do we think. Where do we go when presented with these three images.
Why does this juxtaposition of imagery create such a response? Such a familiarity and unknowingness at the same time. Presenting such a theme of a computer matrix. What really is real. Is everything around us just a stock image? I love that concept. Of an alien race just drop and dragging stock images around us to create our "world".
My ego really enjoys too that the photograph with Virgil Abloh and myself are nearly identical. Life imitating art imitating life.
