0-1gallery – Quartair

Opening Friday, January 9, from 5–8 PM
Exhibition from 9 to 24 January 2026
Open hours Thursday through Saturday, 14:00–18:00

What happens when the systems we build keep running, but we are no longer there? The first chapter of the ESC 2035 trilogy explores a world in suspension. Featuring works by 8 artists, the exhibition captures a weather report of a future where technology is a landscape of dust, signals, and fossilized interfaces.

Building on the themes of ESC 2034, this chapter looks at the residue we leave behind — from sound circuits to neon warmth — asking what remains when presence is absent.

… the world paused.

Nobody’s here, but something still is. The systems haven’t shut down completely: screens, wiring, dust, and light still translate motion, heat, and air into tone.

Participating artists: Francesco Zedde, Junya Li, Laury Hooghuis, Maria Esteve Trull, S. Mercure, TJ (Tianju) Chen, Tobias Krämer, Todd Clare

This is the second show curated by 0–1.gallery at Quartair. 0–1 is a nomadic contemporary art platform that moves how it needs to — tech-aware, a bit restless, and always asking why. Since 2017, 0–1 has been shaped by artists who keep things in motion, not there for fixed ideas. There are no walls, no permanent fixtures, but a stubborn curiosity, and the need to explore issues that matter. Read more on: 0–1.gallery.

Roaring Into Being is an exhibition by 0—1.gallery, a nomadic contemporary art platform existing since 2017. This is the third and concluding exhibition in their series ESC 2034.

Roaring Into Being looks at the convergence of the synthetic and the organic. The exhibition moves between the rumble of machines, the resonance of nature, and the shifting terrains of digital evolution. Each work reflects on humanity’s changing relationship with technology — its imprint on the environment, the body, and ways of seeing. Some works treat ecology as metaphor, others as method — erasing the divide, questioning interdependence, and tracing the fragile systems we inhabit.

With works by: Andrea Samory, Chang Hsin Yu, David Bowen, Egosito, Johannes Thiel, Lotta Stöver, Maxime Lechêne, Sophia Gatzkan

Across the exhibition, technology appears not as future, but as a condition — embedded, felt, and already altering what it means to be physical, connected, or alive.

Concluding a conceptual trilogy, Roaring Into Being marks the final phase of ESC 2034 evolving study into digital futures, tracing a trajectory from subtle machine-nature interactions to a world shaped almost entirely by technology.

About 0—1.gallery
0—1.gallery is a contemporary nomadic curatorial platform that moves how it needs to — tech-aware, a bit restless, and always asking why. Since 2017, it has been shaped by artists who keep things in motion — not there for fixed ideas of what art is supposed to be. No walls, no permanent fixtures, stubborn curiosity, and the need to say something that matters.

The works trace how technology settles into matter, gesture, and atmosphere. Andrea Samory turns screen-born imagery into sculpted bodies with faint echoes of myth; David Bowen builds instruments that let natural signals steer machines; Egosito tunes friction and timing into mechanical rhythm; Sophia Gatzkan looks at bodies shaped by support structures and prosthetic cues; Maxime Lechêne studies components that follow use and airflow; Johannes Thiel constructs soft systems that move like tools learning to behave; Lotta Stöver works through sensors and small circuits to study how data frames attention; and Chang Hsin Yu translates motion and environment into sound, letting space compose itself. Together, these practices outline a world where digital and physical processes shape one another at close range. – 0—1.gallery
