The Machine that Grew too Big and the Singing Gardener at Norske Hus, Sophienholm, Denmark

SixtyEight is pleased to present the exhibition The Machine that Grew Too Big and the Singing Gardener by artist Sam Derounian in the Norske Hus at Sophienholm Kunsthal.

Opening: Saturday 22 August, 14:00-17:00

The exhibition comprises two installations, one indoor space in Norske Hus in the park surrounding Sophienholm, and one outdoor installation nearby, and expresses Sam Derounian’s political and social critique of communication technologies through visual symbolism and poetic allegory, particularly by employing the motif of the ‘piping system’ as a metaphor for the exploitation of human ‘resources’, for example through data collection.
