Kunst und vernetzte Kultur / Art and Networked Culture
13 May to 25 September 2011
Curator: Sabine Himmelsbach
The exhibition gateways. Art and Networked Culture introduces a young generation of artists whose work deals with the changing conditions of a networked world – a world increasingly transmitted through media. The artistic works presented here use various means to tackle the theme of gateways that lead to realms of action and experience in our digitally interconnected culture.
The artists invited by the Goethe-Institut in cooperation with the Kumu Art Museum as part of the program for Tallinn, European Capital of Culture 2011, use electronic networks and mobile technologies to encourage active public participation and to transmit new perceptual experiences.
