‘Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups […] So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing’
Philip K. Dick, How To Build A Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later, 1978
[UN]Real is a group exhibition organised by Nicoletti Contemporary and Louise Stefanii, director of Africana Art Foundation, in an apartment in New York during Independent Art Fair. Including works by Boris Camaca, Chris Dorland, Edouard NG and Nil Van Daf, [UN]Real explores the increasingly porous boundaries between actual and virtual realities.
