In Drifting Futures, ordinary objects become interfaces to a world governed by invisible systems. Saucepan lids move, a megaphone apparatus gives sound a physical presence, and digital images expose their instability. Michel Winterberg combines mechanics, code and humour to make the dependencies shaping everyday life tangible. The exhibition invites us to experience, rather than merely observe, the fragility of our technological control.
