Nxt Museum to present Still Processing, its newest group exhibition featuring works by 7 visionary artists — including Rosa Menkman, Boris Acket, Gabey Tjon a Tham, and Children of the Light.
The exhibition will immerse visitors in the art of “processing,” where machine algorithms intersect with human perception in groundbreaking ways.
Step into a realm where AI-generated visuals, advanced image-processing technologies, and large-scale kinetic light and sound installations blur the boundaries between the visible and the unseen.
Still Processing unites two interconnected approaches: one examining how technological algorithms shape and manipulate images, and another immersing visitors in sensory experiences through large-scale audiovisual and kinetic installations. These approaches challenge visitors to personally process and interpret the world around them.
The exhibition delves into the evolution of image processing, celebrating advancements in how we create and perceive visuals while questioning what might be hidden or lost in the process. From revealing colors beyond human vision to exploring how sound shapes spatial environments, Still Processing examines the dynamic interplay between the visible and the unseen.
A highlight of the exhibition is the pioneering work of Rosa Menkman, a Dutch artist, researcher, and educator with nearly two decades of expertise in image resolution studies. Her practice provides a critical lens for understanding the technological and perceptual shifts explored in the exhibition.
“With Still Processing, we delve into how humans and machines transform data into meaning while reflecting on what might be overlooked or lost in these interpretations,” says curator Bogomir Doringer. “By intertwining technological image processing with immersive installations, we invite visitors to explore how perception connects the visible, the imagined, and the unseen.”
“As we launch our fourth exhibition, we’re thrilled to spotlight the remarkable talent thriving in the Netherlands,”
says Merel van Helsdingen, founder and director of Nxt Museum.
“Through Still Processing, we continue our mission to commission and present groundbreaking works by new media artists reflecting on the present and what’s next.”
Still Processing invites visitors to reconsider the act of seeing and reflect on the technological forces reshaping our sensory experiences.
Opening February 7th, 2025, at Nxt Museum in Amsterdam, the exhibition promises to be an unmissable journey through the evolving art of perception.
Stay tuned for more details: the full artist line-up will be announced in January.
