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, which took place on the first day of the year, commenced in various rooms characterized by an abundance of electronic devices, including computer monitors, keyboards, and large wall-mounted televisions. Individuals, primarily women and men, were observed interacting with these technologies, some using remote controls, others playing video games, and one woman even painting a computer screen. As the gathering evolved, groups of people conversed, while some attendees were seen filming with video cameras or dancing. The venue consistently featured prominent windows, offering views of passing cars and trains, and its walls were frequently adorned with white posters, signs, or large sheets of paper displaying text or images. The setting blended elements of a technology exhibition, a social convention, and a recreational space, with activities ranging from individual engagement with displays to collective interactions in technologically appointed rooms, often equipped with air conditioning and occasionally kitchen appliances.
