CO-WORKERS | City of Paris Museum of Modern Art

With the world in the throes of the third industrial revolution, the use of the Internet and mobile telephone systems has triggered a new mode of communication hinging on an uninterrupted

flow of information. While remaining independent, the user is connected to numerous networks –professional, technical, artistic, cultural – that recognise no geographic boundaries: a form of

organisation symptomatic of what sociologist Barry Wellman calls "networked individualism".  "The Internet of Things" revolves around the idea that humans are no longer

the sole thinking entities – that the things around them constitute an environment termed "Ambient Intelligence".  Installations, videos, sculptures and paintings: the contributing

artists explore a system of exchanges whose complexity outstrips the merely human scale. They investigate the way intelligence and consciousness can be extended to include machines, animals

and other living organisms. In a society marked by data acceleration and the omnipresence of images, these artists work within a culture of the visible, in which the boundaries between the

private and public spheres are blurred and intimacy becomes "extimacy". In devising the exhibition's scenography DIS, known for its lifestyle platform DIS Magazine, has drawn

on collective work spaces, shopping malls, and airport transit areas. The upshot is an event – a network of artworks, interactive installations and performances – that situates the museum in

a world of data streaming and circulation.   The exhibition themes will be the subject of talks and encounters integrated into The Island (KEN) created in collaboration wih Dornbracht,

co-designed by Mike Meiré, a hybrid kitchen/bathroom space specially designed by DIS and coproduced with the New Museum in New York.  GUEST ARTISTS : Sarah Abu Abdallah & Abdullah
