Poetics of Encryption 

Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents “Poetics of Encryption”, a major exhibition in collaboration with KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, curated by Nadim Samman. Featuring 38 international artists, it explores the hidden workings and power dynamics of technology through both historic and newly commissioned works in analogue and digital media. Installed across 1000 m² in the south wing, the exhibition is themed around “Black Sites”, “Black Boxes”, and “Black Holes”, reflecting how tech systems obscure understanding and distort cultural space.
