The exhibition maps an intergenerational trajectory that begins with Nam June Paik’s 1994 work, DO NOT WATCH TV. Serving as the conceptual catalyst for the exhibition, Paik’s imperative was both a playful critique of broadcast culture and a radical invitation to look beyond the illusion of the screen. By manipulating cathode-ray signals, Paik turned the television from a passive consumer box into an active site of artistic disruption, laying the foundation for video art and glitch aesthetics by laying bare the electronic ghost animating the device. Extending this pioneer legacy into the early twenty-first century, artist duo LoVid (Tali Hinkis & Kyle Lapidus) bridges early video synthesis with contemporary tactile art. Working across analog video synthesis, circuit-bending, counter-technology, and textiles, LoVid extracts the flickering energy of electrical currents and translates them into vibrant woven canvases, prints, and tactile installations, making the invisible architecture of electronics feel tangible.

Building upon this lineage, a new generation of international artists approaches screen culture as a material language that flows effortlessly into physical space. Chepertom directly investigates the translation of digital art into domestic objects by converting pixel drawings, glitch artifacts, and generative algorithmic compositions into custom Jacquard tapestries and tufted rugs, proving that a digital pixel and a woven knot are functionally identical. Operating along a similar boundary, Travess Smalley explores the collapse between vector graphics, software layers, and physical printmaking. Smalley treats digital canvas manipulation and physical collage as a continuous medium, producing works that challenge where the screen ends and the physical object begins. Completing this conversation, Rune Brink examines digital nostalgia, software logic, and low-resolution aesthetics, bringing pixelated animations, spatial design, and screen architecture into dialogue with physical space to illuminate the poetic anomalies living inside our everyday technological interfaces.
