Nostalgic Technologies

Nostalgic Technologies, a
multimedia
exhibition at Ljubljana’s
Rog Factory, will encompass photographs and video screening. In her
artistic endeavours, Svetlana Boym
connects old and new technologies, explaining – among other things – that
mistakes and coincidences are a constituent part of technological development.
In much the same way as mutations in the evolutionary process give rise to new
species, Svetlana’s exhibition exposes mistakes from the perspective of both
form and, consequently, content. All of this is rounded off by the major theme,
which deals with the structure of memory and selective remembrance. 

On
10th of October, two days after her exhibition, Svetlana Boym will give a lecture at the
Ljubljana City Museum. 

Organisation: City of Women
In collaboration with:
Tovarna Rog
