A Spectacular Miscalculation of Global Asymmetry

 

A Spectacular Miscalculation of Global Asymmetry (For Digital Antibodies) 

Painting and Mixed Media Installation 

Installation View at MAXXI Rome

The show investigates the poetics and the complex codes of a increasingly overlapping economic and cultural world and the role that technology has on employment and on the body. The relationship between work and free time and the social stigma of inactivity of 24/7 society. Are at the heart of his research, articulated through complex installation. In the room we encounter anonymous ‘office islands’ where computers left in screensaver mode tell us about the life of the machines in our absence. “The antidote to the hyperproduction of digital content as well as to hyper work and its cult are the moments of waiting, passing... “ moreover, the screensaver is by definition a content that is activated only when we stop producing and paradoxically content not intended for any user.” These empty workstations are enriched by a rich body of works on canvas, seemingly abstract pictorial works. The paintings of “ A spectacular miscalculation of Global Asymmetry” are instead realistic and represent reality through data and statistics, abstract signs to portrait abstract and invisible relationship that design our worlds,. The specific themes of each series can be deduced from the text inserted at the bottom of each canvas. Correale’s appropriation and re-reading of this infinite flow of quantitative and qualitative information stem from the desire to reveal the paradox of data in their inability to be exclusive keys to reading the world outside of their speculative function.
