DEAD WEB – THE END
24. JANUARY, 2020 – 26. APRIL
14 November 2019
Can the internet end?
It all began in May 2015, when an article on lemonde.fr spoke of the possibility of a collapse of the World Wide Web. Although this #event is largely hypothetical, several articles have been written on the subject in response to a scientific symposium that the Royal Society of London organized around the Internet Capacity Crunch.
In a context where the network could collapse even before the end of its “adultescence”—in 2023, the Web as we know it will barely be more than 25 years old—we can try to picture the fall of the Web and the after-world that would ensue: Empty server carcasses and a sea of electronic junk? A digital oblivion on all screens? A digital desert to drift in? Machines imitating the Web? A handcrafted Internet? Rumours and testimony about what was the Internet? A desperate search for a disappeared connection?
How will the at once dematerialized and delocalized dynamics of power structures be impacted in both their evident economic and inevitably political manifestations if the network is disconnected? But also, what can still be said or done in the meantime? How does one occupy—or not— what is essentially borrowed time and space, a space-time henceforth to be shared between digital and physical realities.
In the wake of these reflections, the artistic proposals that echo these considerations have here been gathered. Though the exhibition was initially composed of Quebec artists, Hungarian artists were subsequently added to it for the occasion ‑ from a call for proposals, as well as from the #ludwigmuseum Collection, and of early web-based artworks from the C3 Center for Culture & Communication Foundation archives; in addition to artworks by Swiss artists which were part of The Dead Web exhibition at the last edition of the Mapping Festival. This approach thus provides a particular perspective in which to build and unpack our idea of the Web, and, at the same time, its absence.
The Ludwig Múzeum's collection is comprised of more than 700 artworks. Through a call for proposals, curators Nathalie Bachand and Béla Tamás Kónya, have selected 5 artworks by Hungarian artists. Several works from the marvelous Museum's collection and the C3 Center for Culture & Communication Foundation were also added to the exhibition, thus joining the Quebec and Swiss selection.
The first iteration of the The Dead Web – The End exhibition was presented in 2017 at Eastern Bloc (Montreal, Quebec, Canada). In 2019, the exhibition produced by Molior was shown at Mirage Festival (Lyon, France) and Mapping Festival (Geneva, Switzerland).
With this premise as a starting point, the works in the exhibition question our relationship to the Internet and, more broadly, the notion of connection as a point of contact with the world. The exhibition is trying to engage the audience in presenting the post-internet world. The cooperative partner of the #ludwigmuseum in the utopian endeavour is the Canadian media art organization Molior.
Ludwig Museum
The aims of #ludwigmuseum – Museum of #contemporaryart are being professional in researching, collecting, presenting, mediating and propagating #contemporaryart open-minded towards new ideas and perspectives multi-colored in terms of the exhibited artists and artworks, the hosting of events and activities, as well as in terms of the presentation of the allied arts active in finding new partners, cooperative parties and sponsors.
Our daily work is realized along the following principles: the Museum's collection building, exhibitions and events that aim a wider public to form a closer acquaintance with #contemporaryart, as well as the preservation of its values. Professional activities are performed by specifically qualified colleagues. We make regular re-assessment of our goals and achievements and we are open to changes.
We provide continuous dialogue between past and present, between mainstream art and experimental artistic initiations. The Museum functions as a public space open to the widest possible public. Following the principle of inclusivity the Museum is continually working on providing ever better conditions of access to its collection and events. We strive to conduct our daily work in an economically and environmentally sustainable form
Our institution considers services in multilateral level to the public that can be reached through museum education: in addition to fulfilling our professional duties, value transfer to the wider society. The key to this is the creation of a professional community on current communication and cultural issues interested in research, development, presentation and dissemination of public benefit.
