20.05.2020 — 28.06.2020
"Minor Daemon Vol 1" presents Jon Rafman's latest exploration into the dark corners of digital culture. Through immersive video installations and virtual reality experiences, Rafman confronts the psychological impact of our increasingly digital existence.
This exhibition features Rafman's signature style of surreal, often disturbing imagery that reflects the anxiety and alienation of contemporary digital life. His work draws from internet culture, video games, and virtual reality to create otherworldly experiences that feel both familiar and deeply unsettling.
"Minor Daemon" refers to the small digital spirits that seem to inhabit our devices and online spaces—the glitches, errors, and unexpected behaviors that reveal the uncanny nature of our digital tools. Rafman's work gives form to these invisible presences that shape our daily digital experiences.
The exhibition combines high-resolution video art with interactive installations, creating an environment where visitors can experience the disorienting beauty and terror of digital existence. Rafman's work serves as both warning and meditation on our technological future.
