Outlining the concept of encryption that underlies this infrastructural condition, Samman explores motifs of confinement, capture and burial, as well as access and exclusion from secured domains. \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Encryption\u003c\/i\u003e excavates the art of our times in relation to these motifs, as it quests through caves, cables, codes, satellites and icons. Toggling between enlightened concern and occult dreaming, it surveys a counterintuitive aesthetic of the interface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNadim Samman\u003c\/b\u003e (born 1980) is Curator for the Digital Sphere at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin.
