The NO DATA exhibition is an intimate example of contemporary monumental painting

The silent, concentrated painter Josef Achrer (born in 1982). His manifest Dataism and the Infomanic Society awakens the discussion.
It warns against the dramatic abuse of electronic data, from an inability to cope with its floods.
In painting, he defines it in relation to its use.
From October 2016 we can see extensive exhibition activities in China (Today Art Museum in Beijing,Baijia Lake Museum Nanjing, L Art Gallery in Chengdu and others), a lecture at the prestigious CAFA University of Beijing, two residential stays at the Studio – Galerie Zdeněk Sklenář – CCC Beijing, culminating with this year's Prague Power Boost - Kintera / Achrer/ Číhal exhibition at the Ludwig Museum in Koblenz, Germany.
Last but not least, three valuable catalogs, of which "RGB3D / 01 / DATA / 240x169,5MM / 2015 /16“ and manifesto Dataism and infomanic society won the most beautiful catalogue award in the Most Beautiful Czech Book of 2016.

 "NO DATA" is the last traceable information.
It contains a huge data space and it is very
likely that most of us will never see
it again. I do not know exactly why,
but I have an urge to write this code over
pictures, over romantic landscapes, tacking
it onto the surface of my desk.
