How UVA developed a sense of details overload inside the Synchronicity exhibit.
Present Shock is the veryfirst setup cameacross in Synchronicity, United Visual Artists’ biggest program to date. The work has its roots in UVA’s launching task, a partnership with Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja that supplied the scenography for their 100th Window tour in 2003.
In this brand-new work, UVA continues the twenty-year long cooperation with Del Naja. The setup’s analytical clocks displayscreen life-altering worldwide occasions to the banal trivia of daily presence, and algorithmically created headings based on existing occasions sourced in real-time from the web. “It changes inbetween mayhem and order,” states UVA creator Matt Clark. “It’s actually about the sensation we’re attempting to develop of details overload, and browsing fact in the details age.”
In this video, Clark speaks to us more about how Present Shock works and some of the principles that underpin it. Synchronicity is open till 17 December, 2023 at London’s 180 Studios and includes brand-new works consistingof Polyphony, Ensemble, Chromatic and Edge of Chaos.
