Eva & Franco Mattes, Cursed Cat

To blur the lines between online myth and offline meaning, our Cursed Cat sculpture is currently installed within the depths of an actual Roman crypt (!), surrounded by mosaics with haunted icons like Cerberus and the Centaur and other spectral guardians of the underworld, all set to an eerie AI-generated soundtrack by Jon Rafman.

1 Megabyte Line___________________


Eva & Franco Mattes, 1 Megabyte Line

This is an ooooold work but never shown IRL before!!! 1 Megabyte Line, from 1998, is a text file containing a single line of ASCII underscores. The line is not defined by its length, but by the file size: 1 Megabyte – equals 1,048,576 underscores. We’re showing it tonight, at Progetto Ludovico & Ctrl+Alt Museum.
