Conceived in dialogue with Societe’s previous exhibition ‘Calculated Chance’, the

exhibition ‘Encountered Error’ continues to highlight artistic approaches based on

the interplay between control and accident.

Principles and processes of destruction, accident, failure, feedback, error all play

an important role in the conception and creation of art. The exhibition tries to place

these ‘negative notions’ in a ‘positive perspective’ and attributes to ‘error’ its true

merit as an essential element in the meaning of art. It questions the medium and its

limitations such as the conventions of language, its understanding, as well as the

materials and techniques used in the process of art making.
