Description
We produce a sheer flood of digital information, data and electronic waste every day. Like flotsam, these drift through the internet as relics of digital anthropogenic activity, and electronic waste floods landfills and poorer countries. But what actually happens to these residues of the networked self? What can a sustainable approach to data and computers look like? On the basis of selected artworks from the exhibition "Future Bodies from a Recent Past", we critically discuss what remains as a consequence of highly technological bodies, and try to breathe a second life into these relics.
The workshop will be run by:
9 June, 21 July, 18 August, 22 September, 20 October, art-historian Barbara Dabanoğlu, possible workshop languages: German, English, Turkish.
17 November, 22 December: artist Janna Jirkova, possible workshop languages: German, English.
The number of participants is limited. If you wish to reserve a place, please register at buchung@pinakothek.de.
Art education program accompanying the special exhibition „Future Bodies from a Recent Past"
The open drop-in format “Silver Factory” is designed for adults and young people and provides the appropriate framework to get creative yourself as the mood takes you. Different techniques and themes inspire varied artistic pursuits: Whether drawing, painting, working with different printing techniques, dancing; whether analog, digital or hybrid… drop by and let yourself be carried away into the world of colors and shapes in a relaxed atmosphere.
The art education program accompanying the special exhibition “Future Bodies from a Recent Past” was developed as part of “dive in. Programme for Digital Interactions” of the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation) with funding by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM) through the NEUSTART KULTUR programme.
The program was also generously supported by PIN. Freunde der Pinakothek der Moderne e.V.
