GLOBALE: Infosphere
© Emma Charles
The biosphere, of the atmosphere through to the oceans, forms the life zone of mankind and other living creatures. However, since the discovery of electromagnetic waves and the wireless radio technology based on these, about 150 years ago, we have also been living in an infosphere. The large-scale exhibition Infosphere depicts which answers are being found today by artists, designers, architects and scientists to these acute challenges of the infosphere: How do artists deal with big data, data sovereignty and the pollution of the infosphere? The exhibition makes the hidden sides of the infosphere and its physical presence in the world visible: Cable and hardware, data centres, espionage, exploration and weather satellites, server rooms of financial companies and banks, the infrastructure of the infosphere. The infosphere is not cyberspace. It actually surrounds us in a very real sense. About 80 international artists and artist groups are offering an overview of art in the era of the digital revolution and its social consequences.
