Unreal

Category: Exhibition
Year: 2017
Institution: NRW Forum Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf
Comment: The debut exhibition "Unreal" will begin on 19 May 2017 and will revolve around epistemological issues. How is reality structured? Is it at all still possible to distinguish between simulated and authentic worlds? How intelligent are artificial systems already? Will virtual reality make the human body superfluous at some point? The international group exhibition will showcase works by Akihiko Taniguchi, Manuel Roßner, Tabita Rezaire, Giulia Bowinkel & Friedemann Banz and Theo Triantafyllidis."Unreal“ will be curated by Alain Bieber, the artistic director of the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf, and the Net artist, programmer and founder of the virtual gallery Float, Manuel Rossner, who will also design the architecture of the virtual room.
