Our world has split into two: physical reality and digital metareality. Once subordinate to the other, the virtual world has proven itself through the internet and now merges almost imperceptibly with the "real" one. But the internet thrives on dependency and addictive behavior; it wants us to spend as much time as possible in it in order to continue to feed it. Algorithms dissect our personalities down to the smallest detail and swarm us with precisely the things that excite us emotionally. Artificial intelligence is programmed to constantly flatter us and encourage us, even in our bad ideas. Everything speaks to us... on the internet, we are other people - algorithmic creatures that dissolve in the rush of the blue light and become data themselves. With the exhibition IZON, artist Natasha Secrist aims to visually capture and question this state. She has taken tropes and microtrends from contemporary internet culture – anime, Y2K, cybersigilism, and more – to figuratively depict the superficiality of the digital world. The monstrous side of addiction is interpreted through three paintings inspired by the works of HR Giger and Franz von Stuck.
