RAZSTAVA
29. marec–14. april 2023

Kanadski avtor in kiberpankovski romanopisec 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺 𝗚𝗶𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗻 je leta 1981 objavil kratko zgodbo 𝙅𝙤𝙝𝙣𝙣𝙮 𝙈𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘, katere glavni junak Johnny je prekupčevalec s podatki, ki si je s kibernetsko operacijo dal v možgane vgraditi sistem za shranjevanje podatkov. Slednji mu omogoča, da služi kot varna shramba za digitalne podatke, ki so preobčutljivi za prenos po spletu; toda to postane problem, ko so v njegove možgane naloženi podatki, ukradeni jakuzam.

Večkanalni video Memoria, posnet leta 2021, v katerem je Gibsonovega zgodba umeščena, to pripoved vstavi v sodobno kubansko realnost in kontrastira imaginarij interneta iz kiberpankovske literature 80. let s sodobno kubansko izkušnjo interneta kot posebnega konglomerata različnih horizontov tehničnih in družbenih možnosti.

EXHIBITION
19 April–12 May 2023

In 1981, Canadian author and cyberpunk novelist William Gibson published Johnny Mnemonic, a short story in which Johnny, the main character, is a data trafficker who has undergone cybernetic surgery to have a data storage system implanted in his brain. The system allows him to serve as secure storage for digital data too sensitive to transfer across the net; but it becomes a problem when data stolen from the Yakuza are uploaded to his brain.

Shot in 2021 – the year in which the plot of Gibson's novel takes place – the multi-channel video, Memoria implants this narrative on contemporary Cuba’s reality, and contrasts the imaginary of the Internet in 1980s Cyberpunk literature with the contemporary Cuban experience of the Internet as a particular conglomerate of differing horizons of technical and social possibility.
