DNK-Amsterdam en NIMk present AIDS-3D in Amsterdam
New Innovations
A summer project at NIMk with 3 installations by
AIDS-3D Daniel Keller and Nik Kosmas (AIDS-3D)—the Berlin-based American duo mashes technology, theory, high art and daily objects in mixed-media works. They produce sculptures, 2-dimensional works, computer installations and performance based pieces that appear on the internet, in museums, galleries, clubs or shopping windows. Their remarkably diverse artistic practice features jargon used in American PR, which they have appropriated in order to criticize economic and techno-scientific developments. Their works are satirical reactions to the exaggerated statements of those who advocate transcendental technology and unending growth and their critics.
