“Bound together as parasite-host, neither people nor technologies can exist apart from the other because they are constitutive prostheses of each other.”
– Mark C. Taylor

Networks is a group exhibition that examines the enmeshment of humanity and manufactured technology. Investigating systems of connection, consumption, tension, and exchange in both lived and digital realities, artists are encouraged to reimagine historical and contemporary human-based relationships and how they may parallel or abstract current technological systems while offering an alternative that considers resistance, care, community, and embodied experience as creative frameworks.
