ABOUT US
Hey, it‘s us here. a collaborative group of artists and researchers performing under the “1:4:9” name. We do exhibitions and zines every season of the year, exploring the intersections between nature, humanity, and the marks we collaboratively leave behind.
OFF-SITE
Our practice challenges traditional boundaries of art, redefining contemporary art beyond the constraints of institutional spaces and speaking out against the "white cube". Most of our practice takes place off-site or in spaces with flat organizational structures, which can be freely accessed and experienced by everyone. It is political in nature—challenging power dynamics and amplifying marginalized perspectives.
NATURE & HUMANITY
We explore the intersections between human and non-human entities—nature, science, and AI—examining how these relationships shape identity, agency, and existence. By fostering critical dialogues on ethical, environmental, and technological implications, we aim to deepen connections to both the natural world and digital landscapes, offering new perspectives on living in an interconnected, rapidly changing world.
MONUMENT
For us, everything is a monument—every mark, trace, and shift in time and space contributes to a vast, interconnected landscape of memory, history, and transformation. We seek to create a “cloud of monuments,” online and offline, spanning geographies, disciplines, and mediums. This invites a rethinking of monumentality—not as static and singular, but as a dynamic web of relations transcending human and non-human, real and digital realms.
