Emergence & Convergence - Between digital technologies and the natural world.
The exhibition brings together works that contemplate the space between the self, digital technology, the built environment, and the natural world. It focuses on the effects of confinement on our collective consciousness. How has this experience of hardship forced us to re-evaluate our priorities and values as a global community? How has it contributed to a renewed connection with nature? The works in this exhibition propose complex explorations of a future in which the fusion of nature and technology could become a new ecology.
The exhibition features
Moritz Wehrmann's work
Alter Ego (Version II) (2013).
This experimental installation questions the mental and mimetic relationship between two dialogue partners in an existential encounter. The installation uses mirrors and stroboscopic light to create a mental conflict of self-localization, a feeling of self-loss and of pure empathy at the same time.
About the artist:
Born in 1980, Moritz Wehrmann lives and works in Berlin. Since 2016, he has been a researcher at the International Research Institute for Cultural Techniques and Media Philosophy (IKKM), at the Bauhaus-Universität in Weimar, in addition to collaborating since 2010 with Professor Alain Berthoz at the Laboratory of Physiology of Perception and Action (LPPA), at the Collège de France in Paris. His works, addressing themes of self-perception and the cognitive processes involved in the processing of visual information, have become a tool for science, inspiring research in the field of psychology.
