"Niko Princen's first solo exhibition with The Composing Rooms takes form,
not really as his, but as a retrospective of Marjonne, his mother.
Embedness is a dedication to her, a memorial. Though unlike a stone, the
complexity and fragility of the subject inform the technicalities of
the work. Embedded, floating images and video from Marjonne's social media
persona; her Instagram, Twitter, Pintrest, Tumblr, Vine and Deviantart,
all of which has has been constructed by Princen, float scattered across
the page, backgrounded by a .gif of the North Sea.
Unpacking embedness.net isn't easy, its not merely a website but a host.
Its an access point though is not entirely functional, already broken.
Embedness is conscious of the limited time span of social media websites,
the intimate use of them and their uncanny ability to constructed a
representation of someones life."
