The shown pieces
are rooted in current artistic research within experiment-driven learning environments at the department. They are produced
or adapted for the occasion and critically reflect on the conditions of the post-digital and its pictorial representations.
In cooperation with the Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab (AIL) the exhibition unfolds within the Kassenhalle.
The works are situated in architectural interstices, at thresholds and non-places, fragmentary and resistant to the routines
of viewing. They appear as ephemeral tactical gestures, micronarratives within a site shaped by representation. We see the
fatigue. We acknowledge that the relationship between reality and the imagined future is shifting, we prompt ourselves towards
new ways of experiencing (digital) existence. New conceptions of what might be called truth are emerging.
The Department
of Digitale Kunst at the University of Applied Arts Vienna emerged from the first master class for media art in the German-speaking
world, founded in 1984 on the initiative of Peter Weibel. After many years of influential leadership of the department by
artist Ruth Schnell, the duo UBERMORGEN/Liz Haas and Luzius Bernhard took over the professorship for Digital Art in 2023.
UBERMORGEN focuses on research-based art, AI, machine learning and blockchain technologies.
