But inside the computer is never dark. Now I know that the bright white screen was lying as well. It was telling eyes that reality existed and it could be untangled through descriptive and constitutive enunciations. Stable structures starting with a capital and ending with a full stop. And there I was, mesmerized by this lie, when I stumbled across this

A point alienates from itself and becomes a line. A line alienates from itself and becomes a square. A square alienates from itself and becomes a cube. A cube alienates from itself and becomes a hypercube. (#BlackHyperBox #BhyperB)

The event is part of the project ‘The Paintbrush Factory. Laboratory of practice and discourse in visual arts’, co-funded by the National Cultural Fund Administration.

Pilot is The Paintbrush Factory Federation’s newest project space, opened in June 2016. Conceived as an independent platform, the project space is dedicated to experimenting with new working formats and exhibition models, based on the process of art making and on a new field of reference, distinct from a gallery or a classic white cube. Through this new project, The Paintbrush Factory tries to provide an open context and to encourage collaborations through curatorial programs, artistic projects (individual or collective), interdisciplinary approaches and exchanges between artists, curators, performers, cultural managers, etc.
