“Darknet” at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen

"Darknet" at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen

Premising itself of the ominousness mystery of the deep web the artworks will never expose it, needing that mystery for its own import. It will instead further lure it into metaphor and fable, revealing nothing about the darknet and everything about art’s ability to vampire interest. The worst way to make art is to find something interesting in the world and deciding it needs to be art.
