Matrixed Systems was an exhibition initially running from May 29 to June 29, 2026 at GLO Modern, 45 Market St, New York, NY. It was subsequently extended to July 31, 2026. This page preserves one record of what happened based on 31,889 observations deemed notable over the course of the first month during which the gallery was actively observed and documented 24/7. Afterwards, documentation ceased and a new summary of the preceding weeks was proposed each day for the remainder of the exhibition.
The event unfolded across multiple interconnected spaces, initially characterized by rooms heavily equipped with electronic devices such as computer monitors, keyboards, and televisions. Early activities included individuals engaging with these devices, playing video games, and utilizing remote controls. As the event progressed, people began to congregate, forming crowds around various screens and engaging in discussions, with some participants documenting the proceedings via video cameras. A significant portion of the event then shifted to a thematic or actual journey, marked by numerous observations from within vehicles, primarily cars and then extensively from trains, with reflections noted in the windows. Subsequently, the focus returned to indoor settings featuring large white walls adorned with papers and displays, suggesting a phase dedicated to presentations, exhibitions, or informational dissemination, where text and images were prominent. Throughout this dynamic sequence, individuals were observed performing various tasks, from cleaning and painting to operating projectors and computers, all within environments often equipped with windows, screens, or grates, and temperature control systems like air conditioners or radiators.
