Eröffnung: Guilty Pleasure, Mineral Treasure

In the organizer's words:

Guilty Pleasure, Mineral Treasure
The environment is in a state of constant change, driven by human activity, which is deeply inscribed in the landscape. Natural resources are becoming scarcer and unfairly distributed, CO2 levels in the atmosphere are rising, climate change is making regions uninhabitable thanks to continuous extraction and a constantly growing sense of powerlessness is emerging.

As a reaction to the alienation from our environment and all life, the artists in the exhibition design practices and mind games and also invite us to become active and approach the world in the Anthropocene from a new perspective. They use VR, video, installation and interactive games. Despite their diverse aesthetics, the installations have one thing in common: they question our current position in the world and our relationship to nature in a playful way.
