Smart technologies, everywhere available and tailored to our needs, determine our daily lives. We gossip, have affairs, send and receive our information electronically. Even support for revolutions is stoked up virtually. Mobile phone, Email, WLAN, Apps, YouTube, Facebook or Twitter define not only our communication behaviour, but even our very existence. The world has become more transparent, we are always any time anywhere, at least we think we are.

We have long suspected, or known, that freedom is deceptive and that we are paying a high price for it. The software may be user-friendly and social, but it is limited, and predefined. And anyone or anything that cannot be found digitally falls completely off the radar of our perception. Access to a free exchange of information is regularly interfered by (censorship) criteria.

Media art deals like no other art form with the debates and effects surrounding the medialisation, virtualisation and globalisation of our world, utilising its own hybric media and resources. Artists set their sights on the potentials for self-empowerment offered by digital media technology or generate these themselves, in provocative or poetically seductive constellations. The exhibition brings together 13 media art projects supported by the Swiss supporting programme for media art Sitemapping that underline the commitment of art media art, develop progressive media aesthetics and are interrelated with the question of subjectivity in a new world of media and machines. They offer suggestions as how we could interact with the world differently, whether digitally or on foot.

The exhibition and the published catalogue are a cooperation of the Shedhalle with the program Sitemapping / Bundesamt für Kultur (BAK).
