glitch404 x angirû present: digital alchemy

dear internet explorers, come alchemise your digital souls! 

on the 9th of may  Amsterdam’s glitch404 and Tokyo’s angirû worldwide join forces at dokzaal to bring you a day of art, music and memories. 

the ambient lullabies of Forever United, ity, Xavior™️, 10sleep, ya3l and ghettelia will accompany your download to the cloud. a wireless connection will allow you to browse through a multimedia art exhibition curated by Sadu Saks around the theme of digital alchemy. 

where code melts and signals stretch 

we look at what happens in between

upload and embodiment,

avatar and body,

between what we make and what makes us

 

digital alchemy is not about escape, but transformation 

a slow transmutation of data, emotion, memory, and noise

into something shared, unstable, and alive.

 

enter a space where processes are exposed,

where fragments circulate,

where energies pass between screens, speakers, scenes, and skins.

 

beyond the sound, the exhibition unfolds across two planes: 

(𝒶𝓁𝒸𝒽ℯ𝓂𝓎 ℴ𝒻 𝓉𝒽ℯ 𝓈ℴ𝓊𝓁 and 𝒶𝓁𝒸𝒽ℯ𝓂𝓎 ℴ𝒻 𝓉𝒽ℯ 𝒸ℴ𝓈𝓂ℴ𝓈) 

 

inner and outer, material and immaterial, body and system.

 

film, installation, sculpture, painting, print, glass, projection 

each work a vessel, holding a process of transformation.

 

In alchemy, the material and the spiritual are never separate.

they fold into one another: matter becoming image, image becoming signal,

(ˢⁱᵍⁿᵃˡ ᵇᵉᶜᵒᵐⁱⁿᵍ ᶠᵉᵉˡⁱⁿᵍ)

 

here, that movement becomes spatial.

as you pass through the exhibition, your senses align.

(ˡⁱᵍʰᵗ, ˢᵒᵘⁿᵈ, ᵗᵉˣᵗᵘʳᵉ, ʳʰʸᵗʰᵐ)

 

gradually pulling you into a larger system of exchange.

a central environment holds this flow:

 

a soft, immersive landscape where you can slow down,

drift, and let the works circulate around you,

a small river running through a mountain of data.
