TROIKA - Pink Noise


TROIKA. PINK NOISE. Text by Dehlia Hannah & Nadim Samman, Daisy Hildyard & Nora N. Khan. Distanz 2025. English

In 2003, Eva Rucki (b. Emmerich, 1976), Conny Freyer (b. Frankenberg, 1976), and Sebastien Noel (b. Montbéliard, 1977) founded the artists’ group Troika. Their paintings, sculptures, films, and expansive installations revolve around experiences and insights made possible by—both analog and digital—technology. Their collaborative creative approach is based on in-depth scientific research in the fields of natural philosophy and the history of technology. Their works ponder complex questions about artificial intelligence, algorithmic data, alternative lifeforms, and virtual as well as physical systems of representation.

Pink Noise is Troika’s first monographic exhibition catalogue, released in conjunction with the eponymous exhibition at the Langen Foundation which features new productions as well as works from the past ten years. Contributions by the curatorial duo— the philosopher Dehlia Hannah and the curator and art historian Nadim Samman—as well as the art critic Nora N. Khan and the author Daisy Hildyard offer insights into the German-French trio’s work.
