The Backend is a group exhibition featuring works by thirteen contemporary artists who delve into the protocols and agreements that shape our society and the framework of our participation. These often hidden structures, such as the code behind digital platforms or legal systems that dictate the use and access to information, significantly impact our daily lives. These artists focus on arrangements often already in place without our consent, revealing societal givens we are born into regardless of our willingness and understanding. The artists uncover these hidden structures and how they manifest, inviting viewers to investigate further.
