WITH YOUR CONSENT Teaser

WITH YOUR CONSENT //// Exhibition @metamatic:taf 4.4-17.4

metamatic:taf and METASITU happily present the exhibition With your consent opening on Thursday, 7th April 2016, at 20.30 and running until the 17th April.

The exhibition constitutes a project in progress that starts with a series of events – workshops and will be open to the public from the 4th of April.

In the exhibition With your consent, Akoo-o converses with the practices of surveillance through a sound installation that sets the framework of a particular social contract, in order to manage the actions of people and things within it. A nexus of predefined designs diffuses in the space in order to become an object of voluntary or involuntary processing of the participants in allocated roles. Silently, discretely, tangibly and deafeningly, the practices of surveillance impel the visitors to move within space, obeying to the contingent impact of their desires and choices. The exhibition also includes workshops, performances and discussions.
