part 2 Janne Schimmel at SuperDakota Gallery.

"Janne Schimmel's first solo exhibition at the gallery, But Can It Run Doom, is an in-depth exploration of the intersections between digital culture, the material conditions of gaming hardware, and the evolving role of technology in our lives.

By reactivating older technologies, examining the design of our digital tools, and investigating new possibilities for digital expression, Schimmel challenges conventional narratives around intimacy, creativity, and resilience in a technology-driven world.

The works in But Can It Run Doom explore the interplay between physical devices and digital spaces, reflecting on the lack of emotional resonance in the design and marketing of computer hardware— particularly gaming devices, which often prioritize speed, efficiency, and power over softer, tactile qualities. Schimmel highlights the emotional range that has largely been neglected in commercial gaming culture, raising deeper questions about how software design reflects broader societal values."
