The servus.at community member Anna Kraher is currently exhibiting her work “ROAD TO FUTURES PAST” on the ScreenSaverGallery.
The work, that Anna finalized within the 2025 Research Lab program, examines prediction as an instrument of power, operating on these two levels: the myths, promises and imaginaries of prediction, and the technological tools for prediction. ROAD TO FUTURES PAST reveals how both imagined futures and constructed pasts obscure the present as the primary site where power is exercised. By exposing the temporal myths embedded in predictive technologies, the work reveals how informatics of domination operate, and insists on the present as a contested political space.
The show is online as a cooperation between servus.at and the ScreenSaverGallery. The ScreenSaverGallery is an open source software project that transforms an inactive personal computing device into an artist-run online gallery showcasing new media, digital, networked, net- and computational media based art, among others, with regularly curated exhibitions.
This exhibition is part of ScreenSaverGallery’s ongoing series exploring the theme ‘Informatics of Domination‘. Marking 40 years since Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto, it rethinks her legacy through artworks designed specifically as screensavers—reclaiming a ubiquitous digital form for feminist and posthuman reflection.
