!Mediengruppe Bitnik
The "non-Mediengruppe Bitnik", as the name is pronounced, has established itself as an important voice in the field of media art in Switzerland. The works of Carmen Weisskopf (Switzerland, *1976) and Domagoj Smoljo (Croatia, 1979), which span various areas of the media, reach an international audience. By addressing topics such as the involuntary publication of all usernames of the Ashley Madison platform ("Ashley Madison Angels at Work", 2017-2017), items for sale on the Deep Web ("Random Darknet Shopper" 2014-2016) or the legal status of Julian Assange ("Delivery for Mr. Assange" 2013), the artist group articulates itself in a consistent and novel way through relevant topics of public interest. Their work offers the audience unusual experiences and a greater awareness of the technologies that surround us.
