Exhibition Love pixels not people
From 24/05 to 22/06 2025 – M|A|C Prison
Reversing a hashtag found by chance and flirting with the idea of tenderly becoming a blurred image, Love pixels not people, unfolds as a fragmentary essay on Eros in the era of Big data that reflects on the strategies of digital representation and love relationships, exploring their (hyper)links and contradictions, always with humour and never from the melancholic recreation of times that we know were not better either. A look at the love triangle formed by you, your lover and capitalism mediated by a black mirror that seems not to distinguish between flesh and pixel.
With Maria Alcaide, Martia Galindo and Andrea Herrera del Valle, and curated by Rita Rakosnik.
