Save the Date: Exhibition Opening "S+T+ARTS Ec(h)o Showing: Johanna Bruckner, Carolyn Kirschner, Theda Nilsson-Eicke" on 23 April, 18:30, University Gallery in the Görges Building

We cordially invite to the exhibition opening “S+T+ARTS Ec(h)o Showing: Johanna Bruckner, Carolyn Kirschner, Theda Nilsson-Eicke": Wednesday, 23 April, 2025, from 6:30 pm, University Gallery in the Görges Building, Helmholtzstraße 9, 01069 Dresden.

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.
