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 within technologically equipped indoor environments, featuring numerous computer monitors, keyboards, televisions, and electronic devices mounted on walls and counters. Initially, individuals were observed interacting with this technology, including a woman in front of a monitor, another with a remote control, a person playing a video game, and a man near a computer. The setting transitioned to broader social gatherings, with groups of people standing, talking, and engaging around screens, and even specific activities like a woman cleaning or another painting a screen, all while the event was being filmed. A significant portion of the event appeared to involve travel, as perspectives shifted to views from inside and outside cars, reflections in vehicle windows, and extensive observations of trains on tracks, seen from both car and train windows. Subsequently, the focus returned indoors to rooms adorned with large white posters and display screens. Activities included continued interaction with computers and entertainment systems, with further instances of people playing video games, working at desks, or simply standing in these media-rich spaces. The narrative concluded with repetitive descriptions of rooms consistently featuring mounted televisions and windows, occasionally noting climate control elements like air conditioners or radiators.
