kasdfñasd, group exhibition

Espacio Cultural Serrería Belga --> 4 May – 4 Jun, 2023 in Madrid, Spain

Espacio Cultural Serrería Belga will become the main venue of the fourth edition of the MMMAD Festival Urbano de Arte Digital de Madrid. During the month of May, the space will host the exhibitionkasdfñasd, which brings together the work of five artists linked to the city of Madrid whose work explores the relationship between the physical and digital worlds.

kasdfñasd, an apparent typo that we all recognise, "an expression used when you are so excited that you can not find the words to describe your feelings" (Urban Dictionary), an internet word that is impossible to replicate or memorise and illustrates a new way of thinking articulated by the devices that surround us and give us access to the digital world.

Until relatively recently, our experience of the world was purely physical. With the technological and digital innovations developed in the late 20th century, we have begun to communicate and emerge in the digital space. Our online and offline behaviour and interaction differ significantly. Both are essential, as an inseparable combination through which we mediate our worlds.

In this post-pandemic universe we have learned to relate to our devices in strange and hybrid ways. Black screens surround us in all directions. They open windows to other presents, fictions and utopias. The echo of our existence in the digital world forces us to ask ourselves what is more real, what happens in the physical world or in the digital world.

This exhibition presents five installations by artists born or based in Madrid whose practice is situated on the limits between the physical and the digital, posing diverse dialogues between these increasingly intertwined worlds:Enrique Agudo, Teresa Fernández-Pello, Andrea Muniaín, Yosi NegrínandLola Zoido.
