    Hypertext Hotel

    Tentoonstelling / presentatie

    • 25-11-2022 t/m 14-01-2023
    • In samenwerking met: Bartek Buczek, Shelley Jackson, Daniel Jacoby, Peter Lemmens, Stuart Moulthrop, and Alicja Melzacka.
    • Locatie: SB34, Brussels
    • Hypertext Hotel is a network of rooms and passages, a collective endeavour, a co-authored text, an appropriated myth, a place of secrets and transgressions, a narrative structure, a mood, and a premise for an exhibition. The heterogeneous body of the exhibition is held together by the soft tissue of hypertext fiction, which was co-written on this occasion, and which invites interaction from the visitors.
