\nThe Darknet Spa<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Darknet Spa is an immersive sound installation that focuses on the topic of anonymous internet browsing through what is called the Darknet or Dark Web. The Dark Web is that part of the internet that operates outside the fringes of digital society, a lawless, virtual land where you are free to roam without government regulation or corporate intervention. The terms \u2018surface web\u2019, \u2018deep web\u2019 and \u2018dark web are often used to illustrate the \u201cgeographics\u201d of the internet and to explain the different levels of accessibility and encryption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Freud \u0301s model of the human mind categorises three levels of consciousness: the conscious, subconscious and unconscious. The Darknet Spa offers the audience to delve into the unconscious of our digital hive- mind, offering a glimpse into the darker sides of our collective psyche. The artwork investigates the responsibility we place on our technologies and how they ultimately function as a mirror that reflects back to us the broken parts of our society. Simultaneously the work underlines the gap between our physical and digital experiences, incorporating the viewer\u2019s body into the Darknet as a materialized physical space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
