The Foundry - Connectome

Connectome is a group show curated by Chanel Verdult for The Foundry, MoCDA's decentralized art residency.


Supported by Decentraland DAO, Connectome features works created by Arthur Baron, Connie Bakshi, Enes Güç, Evelyn Bencicova, Klahr, Sasha Stiles, Synthtati, Tabitha Swanson and ZEITWEITZ.


“Enter each artist's inner mechanism. Their current states of practice, process and output. Composed through multidisciplinary translations of identity, cerebral symbolism, dream states, subconscious and conscious world-building as each reflects one's own personal psyche. Connectome aims to explore intimate territories of physical and digital interconnectedness.”

"BY VIRTUE OF" considers the boundary value problem, an equation or system of equations to be solved within the domain of a boundary for which a set of conditions is known. It is a traditional engineering problem and model that simulates real-world scenarios. The definition of the set of boundary conditions reflects the diversity, inclusion, and equal specificity of assumptions that ultimately determine the accuracy of the model and whether or not it will fail.

BY VIRTUE OF: Condition No. 01

"Fragmented in the uncertainty of pandemic time, we transformed walls of quarantine into an endless world of liquid desires captured in refractions of lens and glitter. From objects collected at home we build our own universes, melting them into landscapes looked at from ever-shifting perspectives of aiming to search beauty in everyday things, yet everything but ordinary. In similar manner sound as recorded fragments merge together into composition of evocative mixtures that together with visual open space for viewers' own imagination. Enter!"
