Equi-Distant – Christian Schwarz
28 March 2025 - 25 April 2025
This exhibition is the result of a three month residency at Villa Waldberta in Feldafing, with the starting point of trying to contextualize and situate a digital, artistic practice in a physical environment. Through installations that explore network latency, high-frequency trading, and speculative, utopian futures, the resulting works reflect on how the underlying ideologies of seemingly invisible, digital infrastructures shape our physical and political realities.
As increasing data-speeds influence global power and networked de-territorialization bypasses governance, Christian examines how techno-utopian dreams have collapsed into anonymous, large-scale data centers. On how Effective Accelerationists (e/acc) want technology to be seen as an autonomous force that’s reconfiguring society for the greater good. On how “being wrong might hurt you, but being slow will kill you”.
