Just saying: Olia Lialina at panke.gallery this September!

Network Portraits
– solo show
https://panke.gallery/exhibition/network-portraits

panke.gallery, 10 September – 3 October 2026

Network Portraits explores the labor and transformations required to keep websites and digital cultures alive. This includes practices such as archiving, re:mixing, re:enactment, distributed hosting, and the circulation of content across different browsers, platforms, and infrastructures. At the same time, the exhibition questions the assumption that everything must remain permanently online. What does it mean for the web to stay “alive,” and what kinds of transformations does this demand?

Olia Lialina traces networks that reflect the contexts in which the artist and her works exist at a specific moment in time. These constellations are shaped by personal relationships and social networks, technical conditions such as software, platforms, and browser infrastructures, as well as aesthetic influences. For the exhibition at panke.gallery, the works are situated within processes of contextual shifts and transformations: media remediations, jumps from one medium to another, from one platform or server to another, and across different media formats. These translations unfold between historical software and hardware installations, works using or reactivating legacy technologies, contemporary platform-based works, and physical and digital artefacts.

Olia Lialina is among the best-known participants in the 1990s net.art scene – an early-days, network-based art pioneer. Her early work had a great impact on recognizing the Internet as a medium for artistic expression and storytelling. This century, her continuous and close attention to user culture, “net.language” and no-interface paradigm, has made her an important voice in new media, post-digital studies and HCI. She is cofounder and keeper of One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age archive, author of Digital Folklore (2009) and Turing Complete User (2021). Since 1999 she is a professor for art and design online at Merz Akademie in Stuttgart, Germany.

[ENG] During the 1960s and 1970s, the automation of data processing elevated the status of the administrative apparatus, turning metrics and controllability into a social utopia. Akribie und Obsession explores how cybernetic thought resonated across artistic and social practices, architecture, and technology. Ranging from Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt’s typewriter art and the East German Ministry for State Security’s data storage to Roland Kayn’s cybernetic compositions, this volume brings together various forms of data processing and visualization. It explores the cybernetic utopias of GDR science fiction, the planned, self-regulating city of Etarea, and the Academy for Marxist-Leninist Organizational Science.

ISBN: 9783959055840, 120 Seiten / pages

[DEU] In den 1960er und 1970er Jahren führte die Automatisierung der Datenverarbeitung zur Aufwertung des Verwaltungsapparats: Mess- und Regulierbarkeit wurden zur gesellschaftlichen Utopie. Akribie und Obsession erforscht die Resonanzen des kybernetischen Denkens in künstlerischen und sozialen Praktiken, Architekturen und Technologien. Von der Schreibmaschinenkunst Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldts über die Datenspeicherung des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit hin zu den kybernetischen Kompositionen von Roland Kayn versammelt der Band Formen der Datenverarbeitung und -visualisierung sowie die kybernetischen Utopien der Science-Fiction-Literatur in der DDR, der geplanten, selbstregulierenden Stadt Etarea und der Akademie der marxistisch-leninistischen Organisationswissenschaft.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 48h Reading Group this weekend at /rosa with artists Simon Weckert, Evan Roth, eeefff_org, and !Mediengruppe Bitnik, exploring the theme of Mapping the Internet.

/rosa, 3–5 July 2026, part of 48 Hours Neukölln

It was such a wonderful long weekend!

Ever since we began thinking of networks as cyberspace, we have also considered how to navigate and map them. This has ranged from the geographical locations of infrastructure and the visualization of IP addresses and users to poetic and speculative approaches by artists, the tracing of power structures, and the personal and affective mapping of online spaces. The cartography of the internet has always been connected to foundational conceptions of the internet, its edges, and its fluidity.

Join us for the 48h Reading Group at our project space /rosa (Heidelberger Str. 28, 12059 Berlin) as part of 48 Hours Neukölln, from 3 to 5 July 2026.

https://48-stunden-neukoelln.de/de/programm/48-stunden-lesegruppe-mapping-the-internet

Throughout the weekend, sessions with artists Simon Weckert, Evan Roth, eeefff_org, and !Mediengruppe Bitnik will explore the theme of Mapping the Internet.

https://panke.gallery/event/48h-reading-group

Over the course of two days, we will read and discuss a variety of texts on the geography of the internet, including sessions with invited artists. The project space /rosa will remain continuously activated throughout the full 48 hours.

We will read all texts together onsite, so no preparation is required. We will provide either a link or a PDF.

Participants are welcome to stay overnight at /rosa, provided they register in advance via [email protected].

ROTBOTS Workshop with !Mediengruppe Bitnik: Thursday, 2 July 2026 at /rosa Project Space (Heidelberger Str. 28, 12059 Berlin, Alt-Treptow/Neukölln)
https://distant.gallery/rotbots

ROTBOTS focusses on building semi-autonomous ‘content machines’: systems that generate and distribute artistic brainrot across social media. Rather than feeding existing extractive platforms, the project asks: can automated content become a form of resistance?

ROTBOTS is a collaborative project by distant.gallery, Zentrum für Netzkunst and the Networked Materiality class at AdBK Nürnberg, supported by Stiftung Kunstfonds. Initiated by Constant Dullaart, in collaboration with Fabian Hampel and the Networked Materiality class at AdBK Nürnberg. With Clusterduck, Sam Lavigne, Tega Brain, IOCOSE, !Mediengruppe Bitnik.
