X FRAMES PER SPACE • DIFFERENT LOGICS – SHARED QUESTIONS
In the present-day flood of images, we often overlook the frame that determines what becomes visible. X FRAMES PER SPACE • DIFFERENT LOGICS – SHARED QUESTIONS explores these framings as a fundamental basis for our view of the world and creates an open space where art and science interlock and unfold. The exhibition sheds light on complex relationships: it asks how scientific data inspires art and how art engages with contemporary scientific questions. The show is inspired by the interfaces between science, art, technology, data visualization, social imagination, and processes of exploration and transformation. It examines how different modes of thought lead to similar questions, or, conversely, how different questions lead to comparable results. In the multi-logical interplay of Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, robotics, video, installation, painting, and drawing, spaces for thought open up beyond established categories. By experiencing different perspectives, the exhibition invites visitors to question the apparent self-evidence of our worldview and to go beyond the frame to discover new paths.
