Pantalla Global (“Global Screen”) is an exhibition and project taking place at the CCCB based on a book of the same name. Both the book, written by Gilles Lipovetsky and Jean Serroy, and exhibition, curated by the authors together with Andrés Hispano, consider the many screens that influence our lives in the 21st century. Think about how much of your life you spend in front of a screen; there’s your computer, mobile phone, TV, cinema screens, security screens…

The exhibition takes this notion and offers it to you in the extreme. It will be centered on one continuous screen 150 meters long. Each individual screen that makes up the audiovisual strip will demonstrate how screens have become our world, with submission divided into seven themes: History, Politics, Sports, Advertising, Excess, Surveillance and Play. Enter this Orwellian window into our future and consider its unsettling effects.
