The book documents the first three years of garage BENTIVOGLIO, a street-facing exhibition space embedded in Palazzo Bentivoglio, Bologna, conceived as a place of encounter between the collection, the city, and its passers-by.

Alice Bucknell
Clipped Horizon
✨
Opening February 10
From 6:30pm to 9:00 pm
🔥
Alice Bucknell (1993) is an artist, writer and educator based in Los Angeles. Their work explores the affective dimensions of video games as interfaces for understanding complex systems, relationships, and forms of knowledge. Bucknell is interested in the ecological dimensions of play as an embodied technology that dissolves binaries between human and nonhuman, natural and synthetic intelligence, and self vs world.

“Bucknell’s solo exhibition title, Clipped Horizon, borrows from video game terminology, where “clipping” means a glitch in which collision logic breaks—bodies pass through walls, NPCs show up partially embedded—but the system keeps running. Welcome to the cosmic bug.
Similar to conspiracy forums, spending enough time in Bucknell’s simulations, you follow a dopamine-driven arc—from confusion to recognition—seeing meaningful connections in random data. Except the data here is not random at all: from interviews with space lawyers, NASA astronomers, drone pilots, to 3D scans of the city, merging archival images of the LA river with existing proposals for its redevelopment.” (Alice Scope, exhibition’s text)
