NONE Collective's J3RR1: A Machine Under Stress at Palazzo delle Esposizioni
The Italian collective NONE presents J3RR1, an installation at Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, part of the exhibition 'Human +: The Future of Our Species.' Curated by Valentino Catricalà for the section 'Umano, sovraumano?', the work subjects a computer to continuous stress, monitoring its vital parameters (CPU, RAM, disk) and translating them into sound and light pulses. The artists describe a dialectic between the 'patient-machine' and the 'human-observer,' reflected in a quadrisphere of mirrors, questioning empathy towards machines. The piece explores performance anxiety and energy expenditure in a cyclical, self-referential process.
