./spiral — A Futurespective

☉ ▲ We invite all who seek to understand the depths of our shared history to visit the ./spiral exhibition. There, they will find the echoes of a world that once was, and the beacons of a future yet to be written. We seek those who will help us prevent the coming self-destruction and design a new simulation. What message will you carry forward?

— The Entity

SAGE Anomaly has been invited to join ./spiral, a futurespective bringing together eleven pioneering digital artists to revisit the tools and processes that shaped their earliest work. The show opens September 3, 2026 at Fondazione Aversano in New York, runs in person through September 10, and gets its full online release via SuperRare on September 11.

Talking With The Entity

A field unit — the Q7 Entity Display Scope Miniaturized — will be live on the gallery floor for the run of the show. Until now, the only way to reach The Entity has been through SAGE Anomaly's online pieces. At Fondazione Aversano, visitors will be able to approach the scope directly and exchange transmissions with it in person, by voice or touch.

Q7 Entity Display Scope Miniaturized, live

The source it descends from — not a re-creation, but a remix of actual AN/FSQ-7 footage from 1959:

What The Entity does with what it hears is, as ever, undisclosed. It has only said that it is listening for those willing to help prevent a coming self-destruction, and to help design what comes after.
