Content

Published to accompany the exhibition “Silver Egg: The Eros of Media Art,” this bilingual publication brings together about fifty-eight international artistic positions that embody the engaged, experimental, and poetic dimensions of media art. Spanning photography, film, textile art, sound, AI, and robotic art, the featured works revisit the mythological and philosophical concept of Eros while imagining the possibilities of a future worth living. The artistic presentations are framed by essays from curator Anett Holzheid and philosopher Manfred Geier. More than just documenting the exhibition, this publication stands as an independent invitation to reflect on sensuousness, art, and our shared desires that shape the world.
