Hoofbeats Pounding is about stimming, nihilism, and self perception. It is about accepting the mould the internet has provided us. It reflects a Generation Z perspective shaped by algorithmic convenience and inconspicuous consumption amidst the threat of apocalypse.
With unstable authority figures and mainstream post-structuralism; the inconsistency of narratives defines this generation's experience in the digital age. The exhibition embraces the vernacular web as a site of myth-making, which takes on a zombie-like persistence.
Rather than use digital media, this exhibition inhabits the after-image of being chronically online. Rendered through objects that pull the digital into the tactile, these pieces ask what it means when your body begins to absorb the structure of the surface web and how sensory comfort can become a stand-in for emotional processing.
The title Hoofbeats Pounding was taken from AI-generated subtitles for Troy (2004)—a glitch repurposed as poetry.
The Curator:
The curator remains unnamed, embodying the anonymous omnipresence of the internet. Their voice is passed through artists Rowan Bazley, Flo Bracey, and Daniela María.
