Much love for Hito Steyerl @hito's "Animal Spirits", a speculative microcosmos unfurling digital-economic-ecological-mythological entanglements with viral shepherd youtube folk heroes, conservation subsidy hacks, cheese-based cryptocurrencies, flaming metaverse battle creatures, lowtech interventions, magical cave paintings, the dancing spirit of John Maynard Keynes and much more.

On in Berlin until 25th May: https://www.estherschipper.com/exhibitions/1189-contemporary-cave-art-hito-steyerl/
