Cultural Matter: Filippo Lorenzin on Nicholas O’Brien (Pt.ll)
Filippo Lorenzin is curator and critic specialised in the relation of art, society and technology. Lorenzin lives and works in London and writes for, among others, Furtherfield, Artribune and Digicult. He is invited to analyse the technical and material implications of a game as a work of art.
Cultural Matter: Nicholas O’Brien (Pt.I)
The third solo exhibition in the context of Cultural Matter is the work The Trolley (2017) by artist Nicholas O’Brien. The Trolley is, in the artist's own words, an essay game artwork. It revolves around the progressive disappearance of a mode of public transport in the urban landscape. The game is made into an installation and the story is a metaphor for the changes in public space and infrastructure in the US. A both medium specific and politically relevant work - that pushes the boundaries of traditional and new media.
Cultural Matter I (2017-2018)
Cultural Matter is a public exhibition and discussion programme that offers a platform for the international discussion on the position and intricacies of digital art.
