Technology is a driving force in shaping today’s society. The digital world is not limited to the screen, but influences numerous aspects of our lives, connecting us with our fellow human beings and our environment.
In this constantly accelerating change, digital tools not only influence how we see our environment and relate to it, but also how we shape it.
The contemporary artist group Troika – founded in 2003 by Eva Rucki (1976, Germany), Conny Freyer (1976, Germany) and Sebastien Noel (*1977, France) – has established itself in the art world through its perspective on these modern technologies and their integration into our understanding of nature, man and society. Troika works across media in the fields of sculpture, film, installation and painting and explores the shifting boundaries between nature and artificiality, the real and the romantic, the living and the non-living, ourselves and others.
For the extensive exhibition Pink Noise, the emerging Franco-German trio presents new installations and works that explore the relationships between perception, environment and technology. In a time of climate crisis and social instability that comes with digital transformation, Troika emphasizes how the fusion of machine and human imagination creates new worlds.
The human senses (touch, sight, hearing, etc.) are converging today with digital sensors, machine vision and more. Pink Noise explores how our perception of “nature” is calibrated to the frequencies and spectra of digital media.
How does our environment change when new technologies remove the previous limits of perceptibility? And what blind spots are created? The exhibition Pink Noise, curated by philosopher Dehlia Hannah and art historian/curator Nadim Samman, focuses on Troika’s artistic reflections on mediated nature and our disorientation within it. The exhibition title Pink Noise refers to an acoustic state that contains all frequencies of the audible spectrum.N
Through an intensive examination of the location, Troika’s artistic interventions make a powerful reference to the architecture, interior and exterior space of the Langen Foundation.
