The island

more pictures .:. Germano Celant, the original curator of the Prada art world, is no longer with us. Yet, the Fondazione Prada is still on a quest for the most fashionable avant-garde, and their current choice of Hito Steyerl (Munich, Germany, 1966; pictured) for their Osservatorio premises in Milan does not come as a surprise.
.:. Take a lift to the top floor of the "Milan's parlor", and step into a dark and completely artificial world, made of AI and digital animation. (Be careful not to stumble on the blue lines on the floor: they are steps.) Is this scenario boring, as one might guess? Not at all. The result catches our full attention, and won't let it go.
.:. The island of the exhibition's title – though this is less of an exhibition than a video art project – happens to be a 7000-years-old man-made island in Dalmatia, used as an excuse to fight fascism and muse upon quantum mechanics. Though indescribable in a few words, it is brilliant.
