With: Anonymous, Cory Arcangel, Aram Bartholl, Heath Bunting, Simon
Denny, Eva and Franco Mattes aka 0100101110101101.ORG, Seth Price,
Robert Sakrowski, Hito Steyerl, Valentina Tanni & !Mediengruppe
Bitnik

There is a parallel world beneath the surface of the Internet: the
Darknet is an encrypted, invisible network that cannot be accessed
by conventional browsers or search engines but is nevertheless used
by millions. This digital territory is the impulse for cooperation
between the artist collective !Mediengruppe Bitnik, the project
:digital brainstorming from Migros-Kulturprozent and Kunst Halle
Sankt Gallen.

Forms of organisation, structures and communications systems which
penetrate everyday life but which are largely unknown to the public
will be examined with the help of other artists, theoreticians and
hackers.

The exhibition «The Darknet - From Memes to Onionland.
An Exploration» will open Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen for
interdisciplinary expeditions and encompass themes such as
copyright, privacy, illegality and resistance.
