About the artist
Leon Sahiti is an Albanian-Bosnian interdisciplinary artist whose multimedia installations explore digital sovereignty, data economy, privacy, and the dissolution of identity in platform society. By translating communicative codes of internet culture into physical forms, he creates symbolic structures that oscillate between utopia and hypertechnical dystopia. His glitch-laden works reflect on the erosion of real interpersonal relationships in an age of permanent digital connection, balancing irony with deep infrastructural critique.About the project
A Manual for Inhuman Exit is a multi-media installation and conceptual framework is responding to the condition of fractured sovereignty in the digital age. The work is a speculative instruction manual-part archive, part exorcism-for subjects (human or otherwise) seeking to withdraw from platform governance, algorithmic labor, and techno-feudal infrastructures.It critiques the idea that digital sovereignty can be cleanly reclaimed, and instead offers forms of ritual, refusal, and poetic subversion. Rather than deliver answers, the project disturbs, reframes, and glitches. It consists of multi-channel video works, sculptural arrangements using obsolete technological materials, text-to-speech performances, AI-generated scripts, and printed bureaucratic fiction (in the form of resignation letters, forms, and ritual protocols). These elements are designed to resemble an evolving survival guide-one that navigates through network collapse, data stream rituals, and the liminal space between synthetic agency and digital burnout.
