n-e-t-w-o-r-k-i-n-g by animi motus

A human being, as a rule, lives and acts in various networks. They provide a safe environment that supports that human, and at the same time they motivate and inspire us to grow and evolve in any imaginable direction. n-e-t-w-o-r-k-i-n-g represents people and their networks through a multi-disciplinary performance. In a mixture of contemporary dance, live-installation, and composition, performers show how to create and use networks and how they can help to overcome times of crises.

VISUALIZING BIAS WITH AUGMENTED REALITY - Online Gallery

From March 1 through May 23, 2021, we invited artists, designers, and the general public to submit creative representations on the subject of bias and technology’s growing ability to alter people’s visual perception of reality. An international jury comprised of artists, curators, and researchers had the difficult task of selecting the ten best works from over 150 submissions. Find out more about the exciting projects and the artists behind them.
