Interrupted Narratives: A Curatorial Laboratory on Digital Colonialism

Interrupted Narratives is an experimental virtual reality exhibition that investigates the entanglements between contemporary art, digital colonialism, and algorithmic governance. Conceived as a research-oriented curatorial laboratory, the project operates outside commercial and institutional circuits, affirming its independence as a platform for critical inquiry and pedagogical experimentation.In a moment when algorithmic infrastructures increasingly regulate artistic visibility, the exhibition seeks to render perceptible the hidden architectures of data extraction, censorship, and surveillance that condition both creation and reception in the digital sphere. Through a multisensory virtual environment marked by distortion, erasure, and recomposition, visitors are invited to traverse a fragmented artistic landscape shaped by the logics of control that underlie digital systems.Rather than functioning as a conventional display of artworks, Interrupted Narratives positions itself as a provocation: it interrogates the mechanisms of visibility and invisibility that structure the digital art ecosystem, questions the economic and epistemic asymmetries it sustains, and confronts the persistent tension between creative autonomy and algorithmic capture.
