In a world saturated with data, brands, and simulation, how do we know what’s real — and why does it matter? The artists featured in Apophenia respond to Pattern Recognition, William Gibson’s genre-blurring 2003 novel that reads like a premonition of our present moment. Equal parts mystery, media theory, and cultural diagnosis, the novel is a mystery without a villain, a thriller without action, a science fiction novel set in the now. Written in the shadow of 9/11, it unfolds in a world of secret networks, encrypted transmissions, and the hidden architectures of capitalism and power.
