Technofetishism: Whip it into Shape
MOMus-Experimental Center for the Arts (Warehouse B1, Pier A’, Port), Thessaloniki
Duration: 21 March-31 August 2025
Opening: Friday 21 March 2025, 20:00

The exhibition “Technofetishism: Whip it into Shape” explores the fetishisation of technology by our contemporary techno-capitalist society, which has transformed technological objects into sources of sexual arousal, substitutes for desire, and venerated fetishes. The works presented offer a critical reflection on how technology mediates—and sometimes distorts—our notions of intimacy, eroticism, desire, and communication, our own identity, blurring the boundaries between freedom, compulsion, and constraint.

The exhibition highlights the emerging power and dependency relationships between ourselves and technological media, which have now become extensions of our bodies. These relationships are both evident and inextricably linked to consumption and control.
