Sharing some photos from Unda Obscura’s exhibition “Normalcy Protocol”

21–23.11.2025

Curated by George Nicolae13

Moving between illusion and control, human and machine, peace and war, proximity and distance, the exhibition unfolded without hierarchy — a space of duality and mutual dependency. Ruin gave rise to illusion, and illusion affirmed destruction.

Unda Obscura is a multidisciplinary digital art and new media collective creating immersive and interactive experiences through VR, AR, AI, sound design, animation, video mapping, and sensor-based systems. Their practice sits at the intersection of technology and art, exploring perception, digital memory, alienation, and experimental forms of expression.

Throwback to one of our recent shows, BROUGHT FROM BELOW

06.09 – 03.10.2025

Alexandra Brînzac / Luis Alexandru Drăjan / Sasha Bandi / Oana Pop / Andreea Grigoraș / Alexandra Constantinescu / Matei Țigăreanu / Imminent Detour / Adrian Rață / Emanuel Pop / Xianne Han & Cristian Roncea & Stol Collective / Louis Kareem Jamal / Ekaterina Shcherbakova / Alexandra Pop-Arad / Júlia Kusztos & Levente Borenich / Alexandru Muraru / Ernest Budeș / Alexandru Mihai Budeș / Alexandra Mocan

The exhibition is part of Primitive Logistics, a wider project that explores alternative technologies and the inherent capacities of our surroundings—even from before the very notion of “technology” existed. It brings together six outcomes of individual or collaborative practices, selected through a land art open call, alongside a body of ceramic works created during an extended workshop at MATCA in June. These ceramics were later fired in an experimental kiln, built entirely from scratch by MATCA in partnership with Slow Architecture Lab, the participating artists, and close collaborators, under the guidance of Alexandru Mihai Budeș.
The resulting exhibition reflects on practice, experiment, and collaboration in its many forms—from the organizational structures that brought us together, to the intimate exchanges with material, chemistry, temperature, land, and other elemental forces. It speaks more about interaction and process than about a predetermined outcome, allowing objects and interventions to carry their own stories while communicating through the same medium of expression—the ground itself, seen as a source of emergence, transformation, and continuity.
