Themes+Projects gallery presents Deep Time Digitally, an NFT group exhibition, co-curated by Chris Trueman and Grant Vetter.
In the twentieth century, culture has entered into a collective condition known as Deep Time Digitality (DTD). Film, photography, books, music, and nearly every other form of analogue communication have been transmuted into digital formats over the course of the last few decades and this general tendency shows no signs of slowing. While Fredric Jameson defended the idea that Postmodernism was synonymous with the logic of late capitalism just a generation ago, today Seb Franklin has claimed that digitality is the cultural logic of the fourth industrial revolution known as the Internet of Things (IoT).
The artists included in this exhibition are all dedicated to exploring this transformation in a myriad of different ways, from subverting the conventions associated with digital motifs to challenging what the “logic of culture” means in the age of neo-liberalism.
