!Mediengruppe Bitnik - Carmen Weisskopf and Domagoj Smoljo - are
Zurich/Berlin based contemporary artists working on and with the internet.
Their practice expands from the digital to affect physical spaces, often
intentionally applying loss of control to challenge established structures
and mechanisms. !Mediengruppe Bitnik's works formulate fundamental
questions concerning contemporary issues.

For the exhibition in LOAF, the artists will explore the realities of the
current digital scene, such as government surveillance and cyber security,
and address the significance of social awareness. Carmen Weisskopf and
Domagoj Smoljo will come to Kyoto to present their new art piece which
will be on display from 11th April 2020 till 9th May 2020.
Prior to that, from 22nd February 2020 till 6th April 2020, LOAF will host
screenings of the artists’ previous works: Random Darknet Shopper (2014 -
2016), Delivery For Mr. Assange (2013), Surveillance Chess (2012), CCTV –
A Trail Of Images (2008), Opera Calling (2007).

On the 11th of April there will be an artist talk with Carmen Weisskopf and
Domagoj Smoljo as well as a former NHK director Kensuke Kishi (Zero
Years After the War: Tokyo Black Hole ) and a professor of the Graduate
School of Global Arts from Tokyo University of the Arts Yoshitaka Mori.
