Intro
In the scope of aktuelle kunst in graz – gallery days 2026, curator Mona Schubert will provide insights into the exhibition Platform Wars.
The group exhibition Platform Wars explores how centralized online platforms—Instagram, Facebook, X, and TikTok—have developed from channels for exchanging texts or images into powerful political and economic infrastructures. In no way are these platforms neutral places for saving user-generated content, for they in fact exert enormous influence on our everyday lives through algorithmic curation, invisible moderation systems, and user guidelines. These platforms’ inner workings influence not only cultural production, but also the social dynamics of visibility, the formation of identity, and the shaping of political opinions.
The artistic works presented in the context of Platform Wars by S()fia Braga, Joshua Citarella, Jakob Ganslmeier & Ana Zibelnik, Zarina Nares, and Frida Orupabo investigate how capitalist imperatives determine the attention economy, how hierarchical systems spread within online communities, and how postdigital aesthetics change visual culture. Together, they paint a multi-layered picture of platform cultures and potential forms of resistance.
