With *The Glomar Response* NOME presents James Bridle’s first solo show in
Germany.

The *Glomar Response* was formulated in 1975 by the U.S. Government, and
refers to the prerogative of power to “neither confirm nor deny” the
existence of information.

In the shadow of this statement is all of the uncertainty of contemporary
life: the ever-increasing opacity of political and social processes
accelerated by computer code and secret law, countered by the rising
ability of individuals and activists to use those same networked
technologies to investigate and act with ever greater agency.

The exhibition tests the limit of that augmented vision, using law,
research and code to penetrate enclosed and classified spaces, while
recognizing and attempting to visualize the boundaries of its own potential.

*The Glomar Response* features a series of works which investigate and
depict hidden networks, redacted texts, and legal architectures.

James Bridle <http://shorttermmemoryloss.com/> is an artist, writer and
theorist based in London. With a long-standing investigative interest in
modern network infrastructure, government transparency, and technological
surveillance, his artistic practice positions itself at the intersection of
art, science and political activism.

Bridle’s artworks have been shown at major international institutions such
as Victoria and Albert Museum, London; National Art Center, Tokyo; ZKM,
Karlsruhe and the Barbican, London. He received an Honorary Mention at the
Prix Ars Electronica 2013 and an Excellence Award from the Japan Media Arts
Festival 2014.
His New Aesthetic research project has spurred debate and creative work
across multiple disciplines, and continues to inspire critical and artistic
responses.
