The title of the program, “Deep Cuts”, reflects the intention of the conservatives to make complex and sometimes neglected surface. The text of the exhibition supervises the term in two ways: as “obscure or less known works by a musician, artist, technologist, designer, researcher, etc. – often neglected, but deeply significant for those who know them “, and as” serious reductions in financing or support, in particular in education, arts and research – threatening the survival of programs that exist on the verge of visibility. “.
By describing the nature of the work shown, the conservatives write: “This exhibition is our revelation. It surfaces which is often invisible: the quiet radical, the structural complex, the fun subversive. ” They characterize the approach of the program as that in which “technology is not only a tool – it is a creative co -conspirator that shines light in the unknown”.
