How are technologies changing the way we view nature — and what does “natural” mean in the digital age? The exhibition will be on display at the Faust grounds and in the Kesselhaus Linden from September 25 to October 18.
Artists from Germany, the United States, and other countries explore the interrelationships between nature and technology, humans and machines, and reality and virtual reality.
On display are international contemporary media artworks, installations, performances, and documentary formats. The exhibition is complemented by an accompanying program featuring workshops, artist talks, and panel discussions.
