In the late 80s, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster first featured the ‘@’ symbol in her art, presaging its looming presence on our everyday lives. In 2023, without this symbol, we would not be able to communicate with each other in two of our most instinctive and connected ways: email and Instagram. It is magic that Dominique should be an early adopter of a symbol that draws together all of us. A bridge between XX and XXI centuries.

This issue emerged in genesis from Alienarium 5, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster’s 2022 exhibition at Serpentine curated by Claude Adjil and Hans Ulrich Obrist. It can be thought of as a sequential companion.
