Opening Reception April 17, 6-8pm
Closing Book Launch TBA

Over the course of three years, interdisciplinary artist and researcher Carrie Hott investigated The Lab’s digital infrastructure, asking the question: “What would a truly sustainable web look like?” Our Shiver takes form as a solar-powered web server installed on-site at The Lab and accessible online. In addition to the results of Hott’s research and building process, the project includes commissioned essays from Chia Amisola, Jacob Kahn, Megan Prelinger, Andrew Steves, and Xiaowei Wang, with technical contributions by Abram Stern (aphid). The project will also be published in risograph book format, designed by Chris Hamamoto and printed by Colpa Press.

Our Shiver is viewable online during the duration of the exhibition at ourshiver.com, with hardware installed for the Spring 2025 season viewing in-person at The Lab.

In lieu of traditional gallery hours, the hardware will be on display before performances throughout the Spring 2025 season, during open hours in our main exhibition space, and by appointment through contacting thelabsf@thelab.org.
