“Inside The Black Box!!?” is an exhibition coordinated by artists Jamie Hudson (UK) and Victor Svedberg (SWE) in collaboration with NSFW.

The exhibition centres on one sculptural form: an empty IBM Enterprise Server Rack. Relieved of its original function, this container becomes the site and subject of the exhibition, a void containing an endless possibility.

Exploring the subjectivity of this strange and ordinary box, the artists propose a science fiction where a skeleton is re-animated and transformed.*

Throughout the exhibition, the “black box” will host various forms of production as sculptors, sound artists, and image makers engage with themes of technology infrastructure, intelligence, and materiality.

Decidedly episodic, “Inside The Black Box!!?” will grow and evolve over time, gradually becoming a group exhibition over several weeks, installing and connecting works by an interdisciplinary cast of artists: Hanna & Björn, Teresa Winter, Mia Windsor, Oda Haugerud, PWR and Ryan Gerald Nelson.

‘REJOICE INWARDLY: Samuel(s) Dreams’
2024

Four site specific 3D printed reliefs mounted in replacement of the standard ventilation chassis partly in reference to ancient cameos.

The imagery depicted is based on two men called Samuel’s dreams juxtapositioned and translated through AI generated images by DALL·E 2. Samuel being an obedient servant and a faithful prophet of the Lord meaning “God has heard“. In this contemporary cameo Samuel is now operating in plural, as a translation between AI (words to image), the subconcious of a cleaner and a dealer sharing the same name.
