Installed in the charged context of the JW Marriott Hotel, directly across from the German Defense Department and the German Resistance Memorial Centre, the exhibition inhabits a space where historical resonance meets contemporary urgency.

Denny’s new works reflect the increasing military focus of the tech industry, especially within US and German innovation cultures. The new paintings have been produced using a custom-built suite of tools: modified CNC machines, reprogrammed plotters, and a hand-held industrial inkjet printer, originally designed for marking shipping crates. The resulting works shift fluidly between human and machine-made, analogue and digital, strategic and improvisational.
