Group exhibition, organised and curated by Lucy Ellis
“Kevin Kelly, in What Technology Wants, describes the technium as “the greater, global,
massively interconnected system of technology vibrating around us.” Encompassing both the
material hardware of the past, present, and future and the immaterial flow of data, the
technium acts as a force of continual acceleration and transformation both physical and
virtual at once.
Trajectory brings together works that confront this technological acceleration. Together,
these works reveal that speed and waste are inseparable. Shifting away from this movement
of the technium, the works contemplate the residue that accumulates. Combining motorised
machinery, hardware and e-waste both physical and virtual, the works exist in an
environment of slow circulation, a deceleration of the techniums vibration, even while it
remains part of it.”
