Just saying: Olia Lialina at panke.gallery this September! Network Portraits – solo show panke.gallery/exhibition/n... panke.gallery, 10 September – 3 October 2026 Olia Lialina is among the best-known participants in the 1990s net·art scene – an early-days, network-based art pioneer.

Three cutout views of the same woman on a swing are arranged across a plain white background, capturing different moments of a swinging motion. She has shoulder-length dark hair, wears a black sleeveless top with a small white pattern, a white skirt with broad gray and black stripes, and black shoes. In the left image she swings toward the viewer, in the center her hair flies sideways as she reaches the highest point, and on the right she leans forward as the swing moves back. Only the chains and the top swing attachments are visible, creating the impression that the three figures are suspended in empty space.

New book: Akribie & Obsession [Meticulousness & Obsession: Aesthetics and Practices of the Cybernetic Conjuncture]; Spector Books, Leipzig, 2026 [in German] www.spectorbooks.com/de/buch/akri... — part of Calculating Control: (Net)Art and Cybernetics; Berlin, April – October 2021 netzkunst.berlin/cc

A close-up photograph of the spine of a silver-gray hardcover book held between thumb and fingers. The title AKRIBIE is printed vertically in large gray letters. The top corner of the cover is slightly bumped and worn. In the blurred background is a weathered metal surface with raised diamond tread and scattered dry leaves, creating an industrial setting.

An open book rests on a worn metal diamond-plate surface covered with dry leaves. The visible page features a black-and-white typographic artwork made entirely from repeated letters and the word "INFORMATION," arranged into five circular forms aligned vertically against a dense field of tiny characters. A German caption beneath identifies the work as Information from the late 1970s.

An open book lies on an aged metal tread plate with scattered leaves. The page shows a color photograph of the famous CyberSyn operations room, featuring a circular arrangement of futuristic white swivel chairs with integrated controls facing wall-mounted display screens in a wood-paneled interior. Above the image is German text discussing the CyberSyn project.

An open book is photographed from directly above on a weathered metal diamond-plate surface. The two-page spread presents intricate diagrammatic artworks. The left page contains layered blue, orange, and gray geometric forms resembling sound wave structures, while the right page displays a dense vertical notation chart with hundreds of fine lines, symbols, and labels. Page numbers 94 and 95 are visible, along with captions referencing Roland Kayn's Score für Allotropie (1962-1964).

Installation view inside a spacious industrial-style gallery with unfinished concrete walls and high ceilings. In the foreground, a vintage mechanical calculating machine sits on a white pedestal. Suspended from the ceiling behind it is a row of hanging panels displaying black-and-white portraits and explanatory texts. Large black wall panels with framed minimalist artworks are mounted on the back wall, creating a dialogue between historical technology, archival material, and conceptual art.

A person with curly hair, glasses, and large white over-ear headphones sits indoors, looking attentively toward something outside the frame. Behind them, large windows reveal a city street with parked cars, buses, leafless trees, and apartment buildings. The image is embedded within a diagram, with German labels such as "Kybernetik, Sozialismus, Postkolonialismus," "ökonomische Schwierigkeiten," "Umwelt," and "5 Untersysteme" surrounding the portrait, suggesting a conceptual map relating cybernetics, politics, and systems theory.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 48h Reading Group at /rosa with @simonweckert.bsky.social, @evanroth.bsky.social, eeefff_org, and @bitnik.bsky.social, exploring the theme of Mapping the Internet. /rosa, 3–5 July 2026, part of 48 Hours Neukölln It was such a wonderful long weekend!

A group of people sit in a bright studio-like room during a reading group or workshop. Some are seated on chairs, others on beanbags or a sofa, arranged in a loose circle. One participant in the center gestures while speaking from printed notes as the others listen attentively. In the foreground, a participant reads from a tablet beside an open laptop on a low pink table cluttered with glasses, bowls, bottles, cables, and backpacks. Large windows reveal a street outside with parked bicycles, cars, and a visible "Heidelberger Str." street sign. Wooden floors, white walls, and books displayed on a small shelf create an informal, collaborative atmosphere.

An evening discussion takes place in the same studio space, illuminated by warm indoor lighting. Participants sit on sofas, chairs, beanbags, and the wooden floor, facing a large monitor placed directly on the floor that displays a presentation. A low pink coffee table in the center is covered with laptops, bottles, glasses, snacks, and notebooks. One participant on the left appears to be speaking while others follow the discussion or read printed material. White walls, wooden floors, an abstract striped artwork, and tall translucent wall panels frame the relaxed workshop setting.

A larger group gathers in the studio during a presentation. Participants sit closely together on chairs, sofas, beanbags, and the floor, facing two presenters seated near a large monitor displaying a coastal scene. One presenter gestures while speaking, while another works on a laptop. Above them, a projected image shows the words “No beauty” over a photograph of an empty interior. The room features white walls, wooden floors, translucent wall panels glowing pink from outside light, an abstract striped painting, and a central pink table covered with laptops, papers, drinks, and personal belongings.

Two presenters sit side by side in a bright studio during a presentation. In the foreground, a bald person wearing glasses, earrings, tattoos, a rust-colored overshirt, and black trousers sits on a beanbag with a laptop on their lap, listening thoughtfully with one hand on their face. Beside them, another presenter wearing a black cap works on a laptop while speaking. A large monitor on the floor displays a slide reading, “What are the reading sessions of the leaked code?” with smaller explanatory text. Behind them hang an abstract striped artwork and white brick architectural details, while the spacious room with wooden floors extends into adjoining areas.

We're doing fine. 48h Reading Group, 3–5 July 2026 at /rosa, part of 48 Hours Neukölln panke.gallery/event/48h-re... ➠ Detailed program by day: cryptpad.bitnik.org/pad/#/2/pad/... Simon Weckert, Evan Roth, eeefff, and !Mediengruppe Bitnik are exploring the theme of Mapping the Internet.

A person with long dark hair tied in a bun sits on a dark beanbag in a bright gallery space, working on a laptop balanced on their lap. They wear a vivid blue overshirt over a light blue T-shirt, dark blue track pants with blue side stripes, white sneakers, and red socks. One hand rests on the computer while the other is raised with an extended finger, as if making a point during a presentation. In front of them, a large monitor placed directly on the wooden floor displays a blue slide titled "Power of Maps" with a world map. Behind them, a large abstract artwork of dense horizontal multicolored stripes hangs on a textured white wall. The open gallery space features wooden floors, white walls, and scattered furniture, creating an informal workshop atmosphere.

People gather around a low square table after a shared meal in a bright gallery. One person in a loose rust-colored shirt and black shorts stands on the left, serving food from a large metal bowl. Three others sit around the table, one working on a laptop, another looking toward them, and a third using a tablet. The tabletop is covered with used plates, bowls, glasses, bottles, mugs, and a large cooking pot, suggesting lunch or dinner during a workshop. A large abstract painting with horizontal multicolored stripes hangs on the wall in the background, while a monitor on the floor displays a black-and-white abstract graphic. Warm daylight filters through tall translucent orange curtains, giving the room a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere.

A person with short light brown hair relaxes on a large dark beanbag beside a wide window overlooking leafy green trees. They wear a black jacket over a beige patterned shirt, loose light blue jeans, and small hoop earrings, while reading from a handheld device with a stylus in hand. The large window fills the room with natural light. A white sign attached to the glass is visible in reverse from inside and reads "netzkunst.berlin / panke.gallery". A radiator runs beneath the window, reinforcing the calm atmosphere of focused reading in the gallery.

A close-up view from someone reclining on a beanbag shows an open MacBook Air resting on their lap inside a gallery. The screen displays a PDF titled "Atlas of Cyberspace", open to a page headed "Introducing cyberspace". A diagram labelled "Virtual geography" compares concepts such as Place, Space, Cyberspace, and Computer or CSpace, while several lines of text below are highlighted in orange. In the blurred background, another person lounges on a beanbag reading near large windows, with chairs, bags, shoes, and a table holding a metal bowl scattered around the wooden floor, conveying a quiet moment of study during an art residency or workshop.

A close-up photo of several books spread across a bright green fabric surface. Visible book covers include Uncomputable and other publications related to digital culture and media theory. Overlaid in the center is bold white text with a black outline announcing: “48h Reading Group ‘Mapping the Internet’ 3–5 July at /rosa with !Mediengruppe Bitnik, eeefff, Evan Roth, Simon Weckert.” The image has an informal, documentary feel, with the books partially overlapping and serving as a backdrop for the event information.

A graphic poster with a pink background featuring black-and-white pixelated abstract shapes resembling fragmented digital graphics or a distorted map. Light blue sans-serif text reads: “48 STUNDEN READING GROUP” near the top and “MAPPING THE INTERNET” in the lower half. The minimalist composition combines glitch aesthetics, pixel art, and soft pastel colors, reinforcing the theme of digital networks and internet culture.

A surreal digital artwork showing the interior of an empty house transformed into a dreamlike landscape. The walls and ceiling are covered with a bright blue sky and white clouds, while the entire floor is densely filled with orange flowers resembling California poppies. Several doorways create a recursive view into more rooms with the same sky-and-flower environment. On the right is a white-curtained window and a white brick fireplace. Across the center of the image, large bold pink capital letters spell “ROTBOTS.” The overall palette is vivid blue, orange, white, and pink, creating a striking contrast between domestic architecture and an endless flowering field.

Poster with a pink background overlaid by a pixelated, glitch-like black-and-white abstract pattern resembling fragmented maps, pathways, or digital circuitry. Large light blue text near the upper left reads: "48 STUNDEN", with the number 48 much larger than the word STUNDEN. Below it, centered, the same light blue text reads: "READING GROUP". In the lower half, the title "MAPPING THE INTERNET" appears in three lines, split as "MAPPING", "THE INTER", and "NET", with the word "INTERNET" visually broken across two lines. The overall aesthetic evokes early digital graphics, low-resolution computer imagery, and internet glitch art.

A close-up photograph shows several books and publications arranged on a bright green fabric surface with visible folds and wrinkles. The books overlap each other and are partly obscured by large promotional text placed in the centre of the image. On the left side, a publication with a purple and grey cover featuring a geometric pattern is partially visible. Fragments of white text can be read, including "...L VOI" near the top and "...idopolit..." and "...del Ver..." lower down. In front of it lies a white book with the title "UNCOMPUTABLE" printed in dark blue capital letters along the top edge. The lower part of its cover shows an abstract black-and-white illustration and the partial text "R. G..." near the bottom. To the right is another book with a predominantly dark blue and turquoise cover featuring rows of small white text resembling computer code or data tables, overlaid with abstract streaks of cyan, purple, and pink. A cream-coloured page or book edge peeks out from behind it on the far right. Superimposed over the books is large, bold white text with a thick black outline that reads: "48h Reading Group "Mapping the Internet", 3-5 July at /rosa, with !Mediengruppe Bitnik, eeefff, Evan Roth, Simon Weckert". The overall impression is of an announcement for a reading group focused on internet culture, media art, and digital practices, presented against a vivid green textile background.

Surreal digital collage of an empty house interior transformed into an outdoor landscape. The walls and ceiling are covered with a bright blue sky and white clouds, while the entire floor is densely filled with blooming orange flowers stretching through multiple connected rooms. Several doorways create a recursive view into repeating spaces lined with the same sky imagery and flower-covered floors. A large window with sheer white curtains stands on the right, next to a white-painted brick fireplace. Across the foreground, oversized bold pink capital letters spell “ROTBOTS,” partially obscuring the flowers. The scene combines domestic architecture with an impossible natural environment, creating a dreamlike, immersive atmosphere.

A layered collage-style image. In the background, a large close-up of an animated elderly monkey’s face with white hair and a stern expression fills the frame. Across the center, bold white capital letters outlined in bright pink spell “ROTBOTS.” At the top left, a close-up shows strawberries shaped like small mice being sliced with a knife on a wooden surface, with red juice spread like liquid. At the top right, a small inset shows hands with painted nails tapping or pressing on an object in an ASMR-style setup with microphones nearby. At the bottom right, another inset shows a person wearing a head-mounted device and holding a microphone near a window, while smaller fragmented video clips appear to the left, including a performer speaking and abstract digital imagery. The overall composition mixes playful, unsettling, and media-art elements.

A group of people gathers around a rectangular table in a bright workshop or meeting space with white walls and large windows. Several participants work on laptops while a bearded man in a light grey short-sleeved shirt stands beside a monitor, appearing to lead a discussion. The monitor displays a green presentation slide with a circular portrait and text, alongside a small video-conference window showing remote participants. In the foreground, a person wearing a black sweatshirt with a large white circuit-like graphic on the back sits facing away from the camera. Another participant wears a blue-and-white jersey-style shirt with a large gold “10” on the back and a beige cap marked “POLO.” Power strips, cables, glasses of water, and laptops are scattered across the table. Sunlight enters through tall windows on the left, revealing parked cars and neighbouring buildings outside. A yellow shelving unit and a translucent ribbed partition stand on the right side of the room.

A workshop or group meeting takes place in a bright corner room with wooden floors and large windows on two sides.

Another participant on the right drinks from a glass while seated at a laptop. Along the left wall, additional attendees sit on chairs and benches, some using devices and one reading a magazine. On the table are laptops, drinking glasses, and notebooks. Through the windows, green trees, parked vehicles, and a street sign reading “Heidelberger Str.” are visible outside. The atmosphere suggests a collaborative workshop, seminar, or working session.

Transformation Digital Art 2026 – @li-ma-media-art.bsky.social symposium on the preservation of digital art, Amsterdam, 26–27 Mar 2026 li-ma.nl/article/tran... @ezka-ter.bsky.social & Sakrowski spoke about Inserting Net Art; how early internet artworks can be preserved without losing their context.

Audience members converse between sessions in a blue-seated auditorium during a digital art symposium. In the foreground, two people face each other in conversation, one with bright red braided hair and a pale scarf, the other wearing a yellow striped shirt and glasses while holding a drink. Around them, people sit scattered across the rows, chatting, checking phones, or watching the room. The image captures an informal social moment during the event.

A panel discussion on stage at “Transformation Digital Art 2026,” viewed from the audience. Five speakers sit in bright red chairs beneath a large projected program slide that reads “Collaborative preservation in Technical Environments.” Rows of blue auditorium seats fill the lower half of the image, with audience members watching the discussion. The setting is a contemporary screening room or lecture theater with a digital arts conference feel.

A crowded auditorium scene at the “Transformation Digital Art 2026” symposium. Dozens of people stand together at the front of the cinema-style room beneath a large projection screen displaying the event title and pastel abstract graphic shapes. Blue theater seats fill the foreground, while the stage floor features a bold black-and-white geometric pattern. The atmosphere feels lively and communal, like a group gathering at the close of a session or event.

A woman stands on stage with a microphone and a sheet of paper, speaking in front of a large projection screen at “Transformation Digital Art 2026.” Behind her, part of a slide is visible with the name “Annet Dekker” and the phrase “Framing: Collaboration and Trust.” Two bright red chairs sit empty on the patterned black-and-white stage floor, one with a microphone resting on it. The scene suggests an introduction or moderation before a panel discussion.

Transformation Digital Art 2026 – @li-ma-media-art.bsky.social's 10th anniversary international symposium on the preservation of digital art, 26-27 March 2026 li-ma.nl/article/tran... Tereza Havlíková @ezka-ter.bsky.social and Sakrowski speak on Day 1, on THU, 26 March, about "Inserting Net Art".

Poster with a light grey background filled with abstract, organic, puzzle-like shapes in neon yellow and pale purple, outlined in dark lines. Centered in bold, rounded dark purple lettering is the title “Transformotion Digital.” Below and around it, the shapes repeat in varying sizes, creating a dynamic, flowing pattern. On the left, the date reads “26 & 27 March 2026.” On the right, smaller text states: “Annual international symposium on digital art preservation.” At the bottom left, the location is listed: “LI-MA, Arie Biemondstraat 111, Amsterdam.” The overall design is modern and playful, with high contrast between the dark text and bright accent colors.
