Press Release
The live exhibition ECHOES explores the digital through the human body. Our bodies are our primary interface with a world that is increasingly enmeshed in virtual and physical realities. The third edition of the live exhibition is committed to language and play. Like a sound wave that is reflected from a distant surface and reverberates across geographies, ECHOES spans a thematic arc between the exhibitions at Haus der Kunst.
In 2022, ECHOES revolved around embodied memories; while in 2023, the live exhibition focused on disembodied and distributed forms of intelligence. In January 2025, “Plot Twist” will explore how we communicate and create sense, how human language is just one part of the story, and how non-human voices add unpredictable layers of meaning. Transformative multimedia performances, music and lectures explore the digital beyond the screen. This edition includes artists Anansi's Web (Curtly Thomas & Nelta Kasparian), Invernomuto, Layton Lachman, Pussy Riot and Pavel Milyakov, among others.
Curated by Sarah Theurer with Sarah Miles and Marlene Mützel with support by Ilinca Fechete.
