until 18.01. | #4497ARTatBerlin | REITER shows from Friday 15. November, 2024 the Solo Exhibition OFFLINE ISLANDS by the artist Nicolás Rupcich.
In his work, Nicolás Rupcich takes a critical look at the objectification of the world through the digital medium and reflects on the ability of technology to reduce the sublime and empirical to mere data.
In his latest exhibition Offline Islands at REITER Berlin, he presents a series of video installations and works created over the last two years as a result of an artist residency in the Arctic Circle. They primarily deal with themes relating to image production in remote regions of the world and the often paradoxical nature of these processes.
In his work, Rupcich explores the material conditions and physical aspects of digital consumption and their impact on our understanding of nature, thus encouraging a re-evaluation of the interface between the virtual and the real world. Rupcich analyses and reflects on the impact of digital conventions on our everyday lives, particularly in terms of how the digital image influences our perception of reality.
His relationship to landscapes in his work is characterised by his southern Chilean origins. He studied fine arts in Santiago and later completed a master’s degree in media art at the HGB in Leipzig. The artist has lived in Germany since 2012.
Opening: Friday,15. November from 5 to 9 pm
