The Museum of Tomorrow presents the exhibition CyberFunk: Technologies of a Rhythmic City in the Laboratory of Tomorrow's Activities. Curated by the artist Pedro Pessanha, This exhibition projects a futuristic Rio de Janeiro, where sound and technology intertwine to create a vibrant and dynamic environment. The exhibition brings together the artists Africanoise, Bernardo Pormenor, School of Mysteries, Gean Guilherme, Vicxs in addition to texts from GG Albuquerque, Obirin Odara and Rachel Oliveira Vieira. Divided into three thematic axes – territoriality, sound and fashion – in CyberFunk the public is encouraged to embrace responsibility for our relationship with technology and its uses, using hacking tactics and redirecting intentions, through the proposals of artists interested in researching ways in which our interaction with technical innovations influences our perception of time and territory.
Visitors are invited to participate in the GINGA project: art and technology workshops led by artists and the music collective and creative agency
School of Mysteries. The exhibition questions how we can reinvent the use of technology, resist urban silencing through music, and express identity through fashion.
Thematic Axes
Territoriality
Artists explore strategies to become inventors of their own uses of technology, rejecting the role of passive consumers. Hacking has always been a tactic, weaving existences into the gaps of erasure projects. How can we envision another territory, another way of existing within/with technology?
Sound
The sonic dominance of the bailes' walls can contribute to the formation of a dance floor that values existence in a city that tries to silence itself. How can the massive arrival of bass propose new ways of relating to others and the city? How can we think with the sound, not from it?
Fashion
Bringing the dancefloor experience to other spaces through fashion. How does the way we dress strengthen our identity? What codes are present in our clothing choices? What do our clothes say about our history?
