GLOBALE: Exo-Evolution
The exhibition »Exo-Evolution« shows the interconnection between art and science and the artistic application of new technology. With more than 100 displays as well as the modules »Allah’s Automata« and »The Future Is Here«, it opens up new perspectives on our background and our future.
Over the millennia, man has produced a tool culture that has expanded the boundaries of perception, ability to act and the world He has outsourced the functions of his body: the hand to the hammer, speech to writing, the memory to clay tablets, books and digital storage media, etc. Technology allows man to step out of evolution and frees him from the authority of nature. With his tools and exteriorised artificial organs, he is creating a man-made exo-evolution, which has introduced the age of the Anthropocene. The exhibition »Exo-Evolution« displays this new reality, which is characterised by incisive findings of space research, molecular biology, neurology, genetics and quantum informatics. It shows us visions and solutions to problems of the 21st century, e.g. the elimination of oxygen from CO2 as a reaction to the climate crisis or innovative organisms that have adapted and optimised in view of severe environmental pollution.
