The endless cluster (2015 - ongoing) is a key work in Viktoria Binschtok‘s ouevre per se and a highlight of her pivotal series Cluster/networkedImages. It consists of an ever evolving and growing number of images, which mirrors the artist‘s ongoing dialogue with the ever evolving image-machinery around us. The starting point was a photograph from the artists personal archive and like in a chain letter, one image follows another; visual information morphs from one to the next. In a ping-pong-like exchange with the constantly evolving image-search algorithms. Context, time, aesthetic form, and composition seemingly play no role, yet they are fundamental parameters of the work and simultaneously point to the overarching discourses on the visual culture of our time and beyond. Endless Cluster presents artistic, photographic work that combines precision with freedom from all conventions in a rhythmic form. Over time, a visual archive emerges at the intersection of global visual culture, digital networking, and a genuinely human approach.
