I am thrilled to be spending July and August in residence at the International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York.

ALL UTOPIAS FAIL, a solo show by Tamara Kametani

OPENING
29 MAY, 19:00-22:00
Exhibition runs through July 30


From digital ghosts to missile trails, Tamara Kametani maps the broken promises of techno-utopia. Centered on the fictional space of Null Island, her work brings together found footage, AI avatars, and discarded smartphones to question surveillance, collapse, and the myth of escape.

A haunting look at where data hides, and where dreams go to glitch.

Curated by Sylvia Sachini
Supported using public funding by Slovak Arts Council.

24 Hours at Aegean is included at the main exhibition at Athens Photo Festival.

Pireos 138

June 8- July 24

“24 Hours at Aegean” depicts a small area in the Aegean Sea, between the coast of Turkey and the Greek islands. Recorded from Google Earth shortly after the introduction of the EU-Turkey deal, deciding the fate of any asylum seeker entering Greece illegally, the footage of the sea shows nothing more than sunrise and sunset. Screenshotted each hour over the course of a single day, the images depict a day when seemingly nothing happened

I spoke to Brad Feuerhelm of the Nearest Trust podcast about my practice

Have a listen here

“Tamara’s work has evolved from a beginning with photography emphasis to its current form which uses digital technology and phenomenon to explore the hybridity between social contracts and digital distrust. The work emphasizes real-world current events pitted against technological innovation that promises a utopian future. She places her lens on inequality and migration as a form of topical engagement and asks the viewer to contemplate the potential calamitous disintegration between technological progress and human life.”

A great review of screensaver watching you –an online exhibition by Off Site Project, by Lara Chapman on Running Dog looking at the history of magic and ghost stories and the way they relate to the “haunted machines” of today.

“… the abstracted waves serve as a kind of morality tale typical of Enlightenment ghost stories—do not cross here or you will suffer. This ghost story enforces the 21st century political and capitalist norms where those who make money get to decide who is and isn’t important, what is and isn’t visible, what is and isn’t allowed. The author of the ghost story holds the power.”
