In his current solo show “Seeing is Revealing” at House of Electronic Arts in Basel, Switzerland, Emmanuel Van der Auwera is premiering three new works that join his older works in an expansive survey of his work curated by Sabine Himmelsbach. Largely working with hacked, inverted, sliced, and fragmented video installations, his work tends to poke into the surveillance state, the threats of AI, and the eeriness of online found materials, questioning what it means to be an autonomous citizen today.
