A video installation created by award-winning Dutch artists Metahaven will had its UK premiere at Brighton’s Lighthouse as part of Brighton Festival in May.

Entitled The Sprawl, the installation argues that the internet had become a geopolitical super weapon, a new and pervasive propaganda tool, and is inspired by a multitude of recent global events. It will run from Sat May 7 – Sun May 29, and is connected by two further parts: a feature-length documentary and stand-alone fragments on sprawl.space, a website to be launched later this year.

For the piece, the group have worked with cinematographer Remko Schnorr and electronic musician Kuedo, whose sonic accompaniment will be played during the exhibition.
