Conspiracy Management addresses the new image consciousness emerging in our society, caught between “artificial intelligence” and the longing for the “authentic”. Both poles have become projection surfaces for debates that are largely irrational and manipulative, and that often take shape in ideologically or spiritually tinted positions.
Much of what surrounds technology today feels conspiratorial. Löser does not resolve this polarity but collages it: esoteric, almost mystical traces of water meet oversized, digitally rasterized drops.

Water is the cradle of life, polymorph, colorless and omnipresent. It infiltrates everything and leaks out wherever cracks appear. It also carries information: in homeopathy it is said to take on healing properties, it is imagined as a data storage medium, and it cools the server farms that hold our data. Water is also the supreme carrier: Container and content at once. The digital drop stands for the liquefaction and superfluity of the planetary market, the ambition to build a total digital matrix that is to become our new home. The traces of real water point back to the material conditions set by the earth. Accepting these limits, Löser coaxes from chance the forms in which we recognize ourselves and our surroundings. They feel familiar because we are subject to the same forces: entropy.

The ability to see life in everything is a distinctly human quality, whether in the speckled marble painted by Fra Angelico, which Georges Didi-Huberman reads as a trace of divine omnipresence, or in sediment layers and coffee grounds. Löser’s work belongs to a lineage in which non-human processes co-author the image: Turner’s political weather, Max Ernst’s lyricism, Vivian Suter’s pragmatism, the humor of Yves Klein. Löser’s interest in animism, in the idea that matter is never inert, points to a sensibility for which extractive logic has no room.

The brushwork is almost invisible, so that it takes a moment to recognize this as an exhibition of painting at all. These are clear-sighted pictures that detox modernity: sweating, cooling paintings in an overheated time.
