The R-U-In?s: Underground Economies exhibition focuses on different strata of value exchange, be it through outsourcing memes in online databases or the illicit aggregation of products into a black market of critical attitudes. The main purpose of the project is to extract the underlying mechanisms of trading and branding networks that parallel the mainstream apparatuses, both in the realm of artistic production and the ecology of the global market.

“R-U-IN?S is a project initiated by Kari Altmann using an archaeological approach (online and offline) to search the deteriorating surfaces, objects, and codes in the contemporary world. Topics of interest were addressed as ruined places and times in the database, from which artifacts and recordings were taken.”
