IMPAKT Exhibition: Data Never Dies

Video, deepfakes, performance, photography and interactive installations reveal how personal data haunts platforms, clouds and AI systems. About Every message, image, search query, profile and avatar leaves a trace. What may seem temporary can continue to circulate, resurface and even outlive us. But who decides what is remembered, erased, and what is lost? Data Never Dies explores how digital data transform our relationship to memory, identity and mortality. Through photography, performance, video, deepfakes, textile and mixed media installations, the exhibition reveals how personal data continue to move through platforms, algorithms and digital clouds. From forgotten Sims and crashed laptops to deadbots, data detox and the right to be forgotten, the participating artists create new rituals for mourning, remembering and regaining agency over the traces we leave behind. Featuring works by Amélie McKee & Melle Nieling, Charmaine Poh, Esther Hovers, Ginevra Petrozzi, Gjorgji Despodov, Janilda Bartolomeu, Joeri Boelhouwer, Kyriaki Goni, playField and Ruben Mols.
