Machine, Man explores the fragility of digital memory and the inevitability of technological obsolescence. Through a blend of obsolete media, interactive digital works, and sculptural forms, Christopher Bentley creates an immersive environment that positions the viewer inside the body of a cyborg — part flesh, part machine.
The exhibition reflects on how we store, lose and remember information in an age where cultural memory is increasingly outsourced to digital platforms with uncertain futures. Bentley highlights the tension between the durability of physical objects and the rapid obsolescence of technology, asking what this means for the stories and legacies we hope to preserve.
