All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace*

Julia Haugeneder & Johanna Pichlbauer



25.10. – 15.11.2024

They are round or angular or lemon-shaped or oval or pyramid-shaped or. Little expressive tidbits in the suburban wasteland where every house looks like the next. If you own such a house, you might have a radio key to electronically start the motor of the big fence gate. And if you have such a fence gate, you also have a light guard. It then starts (because it has to, by law, and because it wants to, by design) with a rotating light and is happy that you are coming home. If no one else does, perhaps it will comfort you. ALL WATCHED OVER BY MACHINES OF LOVING GRACE.

* based on a poem by Richard Brautigan, 1967 and the trilogy of the same name by Adam Curtis
