Miltos Manetas’ painting highlights the dynamics of online technology, since the early 1990s. Over time, he manages to monument objects and material of the technological microcosm to which we usually do not pay much attention to, or sometimes we consider them cheap and even try to hide them, such as cables. However, the cables' tiny tangled wires may not be places, transmitters or receivers, but they are bridges; thanks to which energy and mechanical loads of any type circulate, communicate and somehow keep us together tirelessly, carrying sound, information, energy and light.
