Gallery UNO Projektraum Berlin, Germany

The 48 Stunden Neukölln 2025 Festival theme: What the Fact? is an exclamation of both wonder and confusion - a response to the never-ending stream of information in our technological age. 

Huss’ kinetic installation, CRASH, BURN, REBOOT, REPEAT investigates the rapid fire of technological innovation and the fluctuating relationship between obsolete and operating digital interfaces. Outdated technology, crocheted with networks of yarn are suspended from the ceiling. Low-tech fibrous materials delete the functionality of high-tech hardware and mirror hypnotic patterns of reflective surfaces that radiate as the installation spins in cloud-like formations. As the boundaries between the physical world and digital space dissolve, the line between factual reality and subjective perception is blurred. 

The title, CRASH, BURN, REBOOT, REPEAT is a commentary on the cyclical nature of technology. The first part, CRASH, BURN, refers to a sudden and complete failure of digital media – servers plummeting into oblivion, data disappearing and systems overloading. The second half, REBOOT, is uplifting and references the reloading of computer systems. REPEAT is the reality that technology is always expanding into new frontiers. Yet, it is exponentially impossible to absorb every bombarding detail of information and common practice to - selectively sift, sort, rewind, fast-forward and replay.
