“Art's new technology is a broken technology."- Drenched Co.
From Svetlana Boym's Off-Modern Manifesto.
Comment: "Mat Chivers' encounters with machines surprises us. He is an accomplished conductor of his own fallibility. Engaging with information is an interminable process and translation is an impossibility. But Mat is persistent and his margin of error is his margin of freedom to create surprising art, to allow us an inroad into information, a way to digest it, inhabit it and make meaning from it. But these 'models' of 'clouds' are more - they are receptacles of dreams and longings and mysteries, ruins of some alternative history out of a universe of alternative outcomes, engaging with history in a way to place it in a new motion, open to the present. Fabulous. I liked the Shibari inspired performance most." - Raj
