HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE
LOU FAUROUX & CLAIRE HENTSHCKER
8/22/25 - 9/14/25


a shape of the divine moves
through the bladder of a fish
sign away terms
conditions/ruin/consent
welcome to the fine print
where memory molds to spam
promise you’ll buy me things
in the afterlife
you are your own
black hole

Spill 180 is thrilled to present High Dynamic Range, a dual exhibition by Lou Fauroux and Claire Hentschker. Through multimedia sculpture, film, and interface, the artists trace forgotten permissions, ornamental glitches, and speculative architectures of control. 

High Dynamic Range asks what ornament, obsession, and memory survive when technological fantasy hardens into commodity and only its after-image remains to navigate by. Lou Fauroux and Claire Hentschker's works bracket the arc of digital experience from pre-smartphone optimism to post-internet aftermath.

Fauroux predicts a post-connectivity landscape through the lens of wellness capitalism. Their three-channel work depicts the K-Detox Center, a fictional Kardashian-branded clinic where former internet users undergo rehabilitation after global networks collapse. The installation treats digital withdrawal as both trauma and commodity, exploring how late capitalism might monetize even its own technological failures.

Hentschker exhumes the material culture of 1990s consumer technology, reconstructing SkyMall gadgets as ornamental objects. Working from original print advertisements, she translates these absurd promises into shimmering 3D forms. The sculptures propose late-analog gadgetry as the site of a final consumer fantasy: a moment when technology promised delight you could gift, hold, or ignore.
