In their solo exhibition Terminal Beach, specially conceived for the MAK, the London-based collective Troika focuses on the multi-layered forms of non-human intelligence in an immersive spatial installation. While in the digital animation Terminal Beach a robotic arm covered in fur fells the last tree on earth, in the real space 3D-printed sculptures made from digital twins of various museum objects expand the scenography, populating a flooded landscape as enigmatic creatures. The exhibition, curated by Marlies Wirth, not only raises questions about the possible (mis)adaptation of living creatures to climate change, but also about the digital afterlife of human myths, culture and history.
The title of the exhibition and the video is based on J. G. Ballard’s collection of science fiction short stories The Terminal Beach (1964).
