The installation SHOW MORE by the choreographer Bruno Listopad and the architect/artist Nikola Knežević presents a selection of YouTube online activities of "non-artists" that facultatively and publicly share a designed image of themselves or their desires, according to their own principles. These individuals take charge of their online representation by transforming themselves into subject-objects that either comply with or challenge established norms of behavior.

The performative qualities these works have and the creative strategies they employ raise questions about the distinction between art and "non-art" practices. To intensify their qualities, the works are shown within a digital art space - a museum - that is created to emphasize the notion of the Internet as today's largest archive and panoptical museum. This "museum" is conceived as an expression of total control by the way it attempts to command the visitors' gaze, all the data it aggregates in its collection and the subjectivity it engenders.

The exhibition will be accompanied by an indepth Stroom School program looking at the theme of control from a variety of perspectives and linking it to the city of The Hague.
