The exhibition ARTIFICIAL IDIOCRACY at Raumschiff opposes traditional approaches in modern art to the omni-present trend of data drivenness. Therefore the works – paintings, sculptures, videos, installations, etc. – are presented in a gallery-like surrounding, a classic group exhibition, while a bunch of tiny sensors in the exhibition room is constantly generating arbitrary data -air pressure, oxygen content, etc. The collected data is directly fed into the ether -raw, with no comments or interpretation, and taken out of context- reducing the meta-data-trend in contemporary smart-art ad absurdum. At the same time the conventional art forms represent their timeless significance defeating elegantly the silent reproach of being anachronistic. The exhibition is flanked by live acts and performances.
