In the Triennale’s Salone d’Onore, GTV reinterprets its historical archive, engaging in a dialogue with the international artist Quayola on the relationship between gesture and technology, past and present
 

Gebrüder Thonet Vienna presents Continuum | From Archive to Living Art, a project that explores the role of the archive as an active device, capable of generating new forms and meanings.

Far from being a mere celebratory exercise, the archive is conceived here as a living entity: a system of signs and techniques that, through the project, is reactivated in the present. The new products emerge from this tension, translating iconic models into objects that preserve their cultural matrix whilst opening up to a contemporary dimension.

It is within this context that the dialogue with Quayola takes place, whose practice has long explored the relationship between traditional languages and computational systems. With Transient - Impermanent Paintings, the artist constructs a generative audiovisual environment in which image and sound unfold according to autonomous logics, rendering a fluid and layered perception of time.

Gesture and technology thus meet in a suspended space, where the process becomes experience and memory manifests as a dynamic condition. Continuum therefore does not represent a synthesis, but an open field, in which past and present coexist without hierarchies.
