Fakewhale in conversation with Franc Archive
Coming from a background in street art and now working across digital installations and performative interventions, Franc builds an unexpected bridge between urban space and the virtual realm, between direct action in public space and algorithmic intervention online. With Breaking the News, his most
Everything Looks Like Art, But Nothing Feels Like Art: A conversation with Ilse Kind on visibility, platforms, and the ghosts of artistic intent
There are moments when a single episode captures, with almost brutal clarity, the contradictions we live with. For artist Ilse Kind, this moment came on Instagram, a platform she had long resisted. Kind built her practice around anthropomorphizing technologies, questioning the way algorithms influen
Fakewhale in dialogue with Alex Hartley
In his most recent body of work, Alex Hartley appears to undertake an operation that is as physical as it is visionary: peeling back the surface layer of the present to connect with latent energies and layered narratives, geological, cosmic, and cultural, that move through uncertain, looping, and ne
Fakewhale in dialogue with S. Mercure
In S. Mercure’s work, the exhibition space is never a passive container, it becomes a sensitive surface, a listening body, an active agent of transformation. His pieces do not simply inhabit space; they absorb its invisible residues, dust, humidity, shadows, vibrations, translating them into gestu
Fakewhale in dialogue with Paula Ferrés
We have been closely following the research of Paula Ferrés, whose project Volumetric Representation of Performative Spaces investigates how image-based and scanning technologies transform performative environments from ephemeral, embodied experiences into permanent digital residues. Her work chall
Fakewhale in dialogue with Yuki Okumura: On the Subjectivity of Exhibition Space
In his solo exhibition at the Secession in Vienna (March 8 – May 18, 2025), Yuki Okumura transforms the supposedly neutral white cube into a living organism endowed with memory, voice, and identity. Through three site-specific projects, Wilhelm as Hauptraum, Secession’s Hive Mind(s), and Big W
This Sculpture Doesn’t Exist: Matteo Rattini in Dialogue with Fakewhale
Matteo Rattini’s work stems from a radical intuition about the identity and life cycle of art images in the digital sphere. His practice intertwines critical observation of platforms, displaced authorship through artificial intelligence, and visibility as both an aesthetic and political condition.
Fakewhale in conversation with François Vogel: ENTRO_PY, Elasticity as an entropic trigger of expanded reality
Reality is never what is simply presented. It is what resists the stability of appearance. Throughout the twentieth century, both the body and vision have undergone a progressive deconstruction. From the performative disruptions of Happenings to Bruce Nauman’s early video experiments, from the fra
Blurring Boundaries: Yiming on Machines, Organisms, and the Future of Hybrid Art
Yiming’s work consistently navigates the blurred boundaries between the organic and the synthetic, the conscious and the constructed, the human and the machine. Her hybrid sculptures and low-tech installations dwell in a liminal space, one that questions not only the role of technology in shaping
Fakewhale in Dialogue with the Jakob Collection: Rethinking Patronage and the Anti-Hero
A curious observer and unconventional collector, Lukas Jakob has turned his young age into a strength, building a collection that goes beyond simply accumulating works. His approach explores the fragilities, contradictions, and urgencies of our present moment. The Lukas Jakob Collection stands out f
