"Notes on Becoming-Cartographies, Migrations and the Archive",
Group Exhibition
Artwork curated by Mirko Ibahi Bahis
The artwork frames migration as a fundamental aspect of the human condition. It critically examines how bureaucratic and surveillance systems do more than regulate they actively construct migrants as subjects to be monitored and controlled, reducing human lives to data. Using official documents and contracts linked to years of resistance against Frontex, the work aligns with reverse power practices that expose the hidden structures behind migration management. Drawing on thinkers like Browne, Fanon, Foucault and Deleuze, it reveals the colonial and discriminatory roots of bureaucratic control, especially against marginalized communities. More than documentation, the piece is a call to action, urging viewers to question and resist systems of inequality and control.
The collection of data was made possible with the support of the Abolish Frontex European Campaign.
Data Center[ed] [2024]

Data Center[ed] is an interactive web project that maps network infrastructures like data centers and submarine cables, alongside mines where raw materials for the tech industry are sourced. The project challenges the dominant narrative that promotes the internet and technology as immaterial, highlighting their environmental and social impacts. It raises questions about the origins of tech materials, the distribution of network infrastructures, and their ownership.

Climate Evidences [2024]
Installation,
10 digital prints, recylated mainboards
110x255x4 cm
Climate Evidences begins with satellite images of mines extracting materials like copper, lithium, gold, and nickel. While environmental discussions often focus on labor exploitation and e-waste, the project emphasizes the earlier stage of material extraction. The horizontally arranged work guides viewers through satellite images, with a strip of electronic components in the center, symbolizing the connection between technology and its environmental impact.
Living Surfaces [2024]
Installation
h 70 cm
d 70 cm
Living Surfaces explores submarine fibre-optic cables, which carry over 97% of global internet traffic. These cables, laid on the ocean floor, have become part of the marine ecosystem, supporting the growth of microorganisms and algae that benefit marine life. The installation, with aluminium cylinders filled with seawater and immersed cables, highlights how life persists and adapts, creating its own micro-ecosystem despite the infrastructure's permanence and environmental challenges.
Server the Planet / Serve the Planet II [2024]
Installation, mixed materials
200x165x48 cm
Server the Planet is an installation that merges technology, inorganic materials, and natural elements in a symbiotic relationship. The main aluminium rack holds only the skeletons of obsolete servers, repurposing the structure. Plants and minerals symbolize the environmental impact of raw material extraction, while the monolithic rack, filled with organic elements, evokes a sense of sacredness, suggesting that nature will reclaim its space, with or without humans.
