DEAF 2014 Main Exhibition
DEAF2014’s thematic exhibition The Progress Trap showcases artistic responses to the lure of technological innovation, how it feels to be trapped by this relentless pursuit of progress, and how to escape it.
Blind Arm, Louis-Philippe Demers
The exhibition The Progress Trap questions the contemporary techno-centric perspective on progress and is a social commentary on the seductive qualities of technological innovation. In addition, the exhibition gives space to more personal experiences of progress, such as the desire to escape its current ideology and the awareness of being trapped in it.
