NERD_FUNK is a kaleidoscopic exploration of the far-reaching influence of social media on our visual and digital culture. Divided into five immersive chapters, three in VR and two audiovisual and spatial, artists Ali Eslami and Mamali Shafahi, assisted by Pensive Vivifier, present the extensive research they worked on for seven years, from April 4 at MU Hybrid Art House. Through a virtual entity they created, which they called nerd_funk, Eslami and Shafahi collected the Instagram Stories of more than 1,000 people from 2018. All those dedicated but also critical creators were at the forefront of creative use of the platform. They filled their Instagram feeds with an unending stream of images through which a new aesthetic emerged. This archive became the basis for the five NERD_FUNK storylines, each reflecting an aspect of the quirky Instagram culture. But if anything is changing fast, it is internet culture, that's what the makers of NERD_FUNK are well aware of. To keep up with these developments, they asked Marijn Bril, curator specialized in digital culture, to create a portal that reads like a kind of social media library. That portal - full of books, images, sites and five works by young makers that in turn also loosely refer to the five storylines - forms the entrance/exit to the worlds called NERD_FUNK. So get ready for an immersive trip that both throws you back into the boundless hybridity of the post-digital, pre-covid era and propels you into the chaotic post-all now. A state of being in which the lines between public and private are completely shifted and new combinations of narcissism and voyeurism reign supreme. But above all, a brave attempt by the artists to assign artistic value to the useless overload so characteristic of socials. An overload we all contribute to and completely lose ourselves in. NERD_FUNK a seven year odyssey opens on Friday 4 April
Doors open: 19:30
Start: 20:00
