Event overview
Artist Joana Moll traces the connection between interfaces, patriarchy, data, language, business models, free labour, surveillance, CO2 and domesticated electricity.
Our so-called networked society has failed so far to transpose the logic of interconnectedness into our lives.
Citizens are becoming increasingly machine-like and dependent on data, threatening the connection between humans and their natural habitats. Although most of our daily transactions are carried out through electronic devices, we know very little of the apparatus that facilitates such interactions, or in other words, about the factory that lies beyond the interface.
In this talk, artist Joana Moll will try to trace the connection between interfaces, patriarchy, data, language, business models, free labour, surveillance, CO2 and domesticated electricity.
Joana Moll is a Barcelona/Berlin based artist and researcher. Her work critically explores the way post-capitalist narratives affect the alphabetization of machines, humans and ecosystems. Her main research topics include Internet materiality, surveillance, social profiling and interfaces.
She has presented her work in different museums, universities, festivals and publications around the world such as Venice Biennale, MAXXI, MMOMA, Laboral, CCCB, ZKM, Ars Electronica, HEK, Photographer’s Gallery, Korean Cultural Foundation Center, Chronus Art Center, University of Cambridge, University of Illinois, ETH Zürich, École d'Art d'Aix en Provence, British Computer Society, The New School, CPDP 2019, Transmediale, FILE and ISEA among many others.
Her work has been featured on The Financial Times, Quartz, Wired, Vice, The New Inquiry, Netzpolitk, El Mundo, O’Globo or MIT Press.
