Contra-Internet

Contra-Internet

21 April 2016

Whitechapel Gallery, London, UK | Website

Known for his work at the intersections of technology, queerness and politics, artist and writer Zach Blas discusses the emerging militancies and subversions of ‘the Internet’.

Blas engages topics of post-capitalism, dildotectonics, utopian plagiarism, and social media exodus, constructing a contra-internet praxis that both refuses its control logic and builds alternatives to its infrastructure.

Commissioned by Rhizome.

This event is part of the Whitechapel Gallery’s Electronic Superhighway Season, featuring artist commissions, displays and screenings, alongside talks and live performances. Electronic Superhighway (2016-1966) runs from 29 January to 15 May 2016.
