Theresa Reiwer
With her walk-through installation “Internet Explorer,” Berlin-based (post)digital artist Theresa Reiwer explores the vision of the web as a democratic, solidarity-based commons committed to serving people rather than exploiting them.

Internet Explorer - Theresa Reiwer
The web was once a utopian promise of global connectedness. Collective discovery has since given way to an algorithmically choreographed bubble. With the rise of the platform economy, the way we interact online has changed. Since then, the landscape has been shaped by profit-driven motives and systemically amplified conflicts, which are currently solidifying into fascist structures and encroaching on physical spaces as well.
Set against the backdrop of an internet café, the guests of “Internet Explorer” navigate essayistic video worlds and mini-games that interweave the digital present with past online moments. Together with a speculative AI serving as both companion and operating system, they explore the question of whether the promise of access and participation has ever been fulfilled, or whether existing power structures have merely been reorganized.
Following “Lasting Generation” (premiering at HAU in 2024), this is the second HAU co-production with Reiwer.
