There is a moment when the architecture of childhood collapses. Not violently, but slowly, like a shirt fading with every wash, like a memory you realize you might have invented because the alternative is that something precious is simply gone.
Through art games, sculptures, and a short film, Nino Filiu explores in their first solo show the terror of coming of age, in the broadest sense of the concept, something Max Weber called disenchantment: the realization that parents are not omniscient, teachers are guessing, and no moral compass point to the same direction.
They are a tech artist exploring novel digital experiences enabled by emerging technologies. What if a sculpture got scared when you got too close? How does it feels to control a video game with DJ hardware? What do the bioelectricity of plants sound like? Can the web be used as a medium for interactive narratives? How do NPCs feel when you delete their game from your computer? They spent the past few years asking questions like these in the shape of video games, interactive art, visual art, and more; either as solo works or as collective works with Distraction.
For March 27 we’re preparing a 3hrs worldbuilding workshop with the artist. All info you can find here.
