Exhibition »Hybrid Layers«

03.06.2017 - 07.01.2018

The group exhibition »Hybrid Layers« focuses on a generation of artists, who deal with the growing presence and impact of the digital sphere. It presents new perspectives on digital technology, the Internet and social networks and explores both the virtual and the physical appearance of an artistic practice deeply influenced by the digital.

The approximately 25 positions on display in the exhibition reflect on contemporary social, technological and aesthetic debates. They reflect how comprehensive the digital aspect influences all areas of our everyday life, our perception and production of knowledge. In addition to video works, the ZKM | Karlsruhe exhibits installations, sculptures and six virtual reality (VR) projects which were developed by different artists and can be physically experienced in the exhibition by means of a head-mounted display for visitors.
