En résonance avec les thèmes explorés par Colin Martin dans son exposition Empathy Lab, le duo Electronic Sheep - constitué des artistes multidisciplinaires reconnues Brenda Aherne et Helen Delany, toutes deux anciennes élèves, respectivement en communication visuelle et mode, au National College of Art and Design, Dublin - présentera une sélection d’œuvres textiles dans la galerie attenante à la salle d’exposition. Parmi elles, Notifications Off, une tapisserie mettant en scène des lieux, personnes ou objets qui nous apportent de la joie en ces temps difficiles. Ouvrant une réflexion sur le rapport entre technologies et santé mentale, ce travail représente des figures associées à la création même du jacquard, tels les chanteurs Gavin Friday et Róisín Murphy ou encore l’actrice Aisling Bea.
