The White Room is an inversion of a major company; a sales and training facility staffed with trained experts. Yet what is ‘in store’ is not the polished corporate image, but rather a practical encounter with our everyday devices; with our digital shadows and data aggregates. It is a space in which we can learn to de-familiarise ourselves with our familiar technological environment, to look beyond the black mirror and the way it reflects our ‘selves’.

The White Room presents selected artworks, digital products, investigations, and activist projects that collectively offer a contemplation on autonomy as a disappearing modus operandi of political action. It explores the social life of the future in which we now live, with its smooth interfaces and efficient systems, playing out constructions of individual identities mediated by the state and through corporations. Moving beyond the familiar framings of internet freedom, privacy, and surveillance, The White Room instead raises broader questions of knowledge, power, and wealth.
