For decades, technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics have been an integral part of our society and our everyday reality. In all areas of life, digital applications have become indispensable. This is the entry point for artists Johanna Bruckner, Carolyn Kirschner and Theda Nilsson-Eicke. Their works question the potentials and challenges of digital transformation. They open up critical, speculative and analytical perspectives on the microscopic and macroscopic effects of technological change.
‘S+T+ARTS Ec(h)o Showing’ presents exemplary works by the three artists who are completing thirteen-month research sojourns at TUD Dresden University of Technology as part of their S+T+ARTS Ec(h)o Residency. The three artists explore a wide range of current research topics—in their respective artistic investigations of the relationships between humans and machines, the sociocultural significance of the zebrafish, and human perception in the context of immersive and digitalized worlds, they are being guided by the interfaces of Science, Technology & Arts (or S+T+ARTS, for short).
