Hito Steyerl’s video, performance, and philosophical works expose, with invigorating force, the paradoxes of the virtualization of reality under the influence of digital image and media networks. The Berlin-based artist and theoretician invents highly tonic forms that create a narrative for what an image is and does today. Steyerl’s investigations target the often-militarized economies of images in a globalized world, the sibylline metaphors of digital capitalism, or the galloping privatization of public spaces such as art museums.

Exhibition produced in partnership with the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal.
