Exhibition Olia Lialina & Cory Arcangel: "Asymmetrical Response"
Digital artists' first collaborative exhibition
Supported by the Goethe-InstitutOlia Lialina is a guest of the Goethe-Institut
Since their first meeting on the eve of Y2K, Russian-born, Stuttgart-based Olia Lialina and the American Cory Arcangel have been influencing and responding to each other’s work and their digital environment through many means and formats. Collaborating for the first time, the work in Asymmetric Response takes as its subject how hardware and software correlate to power: personal, bureaucratic or algorithmic.
In January 2017, this exhibition will tour to The Kitchen in New York.
For the past two decades, Olia Lialina has produced many influential works of network-based art: My Boyfriend Came Back from the War (1996), Agatha Appears (1997), First Real Net Art Gallery (1998), and Last Real Net Art Museum (2000), Online Newspapers (2004-2013), Summer (2013). Since 1999 Olja has been teaching the New Media pathway at the Merz Akademie in Stuttgart and writes on digital culture, net art and the vernacular web.
