“As scientific measurements are recorded, visualized, and transformed into graphs, predictive models
emerge as useful fictions. Such systematic and rational approaches convince us that the world is
efficiently understood, everything is measured, categorized, and controlled — data points and error bars
on graph paper. Yet, the edges of the graph paper remind us that science, though precise, is shaped by
cultural and social contexts.
Through a variety of approaches, the artists included in the exhibition explore what lies beyond the
measurable, confront assumptions and histories of scientific pursuits, and construct facts and poetic
narratives that might be able to escape a worldview increasingly confined by technology, standardized
procedures, and quantifiable metrics.” – excerpt from text by Flaviu Rogojan
