About the exhibition
The group exhibition on the annual theme Nature ↔ Data explores the era of the Anthropocene through artistic means.
The term describes a new geochronological age in which humans have become one of the most important influencers of biological, geological, and atmospheric processes on Earth1 .The Artificial Genesis exhibition takes on the complexity of the subject with unusual and creative artistic perspectivesthat push the boundaries of the expected. It is a reminder of the importance of understanding and preserving nature, of ecology and sustainability, and at the same time a tribute to the imagination and beauty of human creativity.
The exhibition features new and traditional techniques from lithography to photography to computer-generated animation. Represented is a broad spectrum of works from landscape to flora and fauna to humans, from digital maps to GPS-generated drawings to graphics and animations generated from data.
