As part of the exhibition Architecture of Hidden Activity – The physical Dimension of the Digital, the gallery invites you to a conversation between artist Emma Charles and curator and natural philosopher Dehlia Hannah.
A conversation about the material aspects of the digital world: Anna Voswinckel speaks with Marie Rief, Stefanie Seufert, and Silja Yvette about materials, digital usage, and the life cycles of technical devices. The artists explore how information, screen gestures, and industrial casings become tangible in their work.
An interdisciplinary panel discussion explores the material dimension of the digital world from an academic perspective. Experts from the fields of research and theory will discuss the illusion of digital immateriality, the resource costs of technical infrastructure, and the impact of digital omnipresence on society and the environment—thereby expanding the exhibition’s discourse.
For the finissage, the curators will guide visitors through the exhibition and offer insights into its background. The focus will be on the material dimension of the digital, the illusion of immateriality, and the processes of innovation, use, and disposal explored in the works—and how material functions as a distinct dimension of experience in this context.
