"Why It Stopped Making Sense to Talk About 'The Internet' in 2012:
Five simple reasons: Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft
And what will the world that they create look like? Here's what I think:" (Bruce Sterling)
A paleontological "Walled Garden" which roughly can be described as an
ecosystem with business and technology linked to nature which might
actually refer to a data-driven world gone insane. The voice of the
planet is rising up out of the data demanding to be heard. In Steven
Spielberg's Jurassic Park a once lost nature is artificially resurrected
that couldn't be constrained and went berserk. When we create and
inhabit a digital environment we shouldn't wonder when it doesn't behave
like we wish it to.
Jurassic Mentoring is an exhibiton by the German artist Maximilian Schmötzer currently studying at the Berlin University of the Arts in the class of Hito Steyerl. The show features two new works: a video "The perfect Storm" and "Yellow Papyrus", a series of prints.
