"data.logs" by computer group "Trihars" will open on the White Night on September 9, 2017 at 20.00.

From English language, word “datalogging” represents the process of collecting and storing information in a longer period of time with the aim to analyze specific events, trends or systems. The exhibition artists themselves are working as “datalogs” – representatives of a non-existing profession, creating, researching and showing data archives. The exhibition will showcase four artworks: Kristaps Biters will present his personal information that he have collected about himself in the digital space for several years. Peters Riekstins has created parasitic system for his computer, that registers every mouse click, thus collecting large archive. The result is an image resembling Universe, in which each click is a heavenly body in the size of a pixel. Rihards Vitols will present the records he have made in the Amazon rainforest during his research about the future of forests. The sounds heard in the exhibition to the author's mind are the ones a tree produces while “drinking” water. Trihars artist group has been considered one of the fastest growing underground media projects in Latvia.

After the White Night the exhibition will be open until October 22, 2017. Venue: RIXC Gallery 2. Address: 11. novembra krastmala 35 (entrance from Minsterejas iela), Riga, LV-1050. Opening hours: from Monday to Saturday, 12.00 – 18.00; Sundays – closed. Entrance free.
