Katja Novitskova presented solo exhibition If Only You Could See What I’ve Seen with Your Eyes. Stage 2 at Tallinn’s Kumu Art Museum which opened February 23 and ran to June 10.
The first iteration of the exhibition was shown in the Estonian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2017. Borrowing a quote from the sci-fi film Blade Runner (1982) for its title, it refers to “the complexity of seeing in the contemporary data maze.”
Curated by Kati Ilves, Part 2 continues Novitskova’s exploration of technologies and speculative fiction. The immersive installation interprets the present day as though we were viewing it from the future, where a “rapidly developing planet is increasingly more dependent on various data flows, which intermediate, preserve and alter the environment that surrounds us.”**
