Robotron. Code und Utopie: Ein Ausstellungsrundgang mit Hanar Hupka

In the organizer's words:

The triumphant advance of computers and microelectronics since the 1960s is often referred to as the "third industrial revolution". In the GDR, the name Robotron in particular stood for the new technology that was changing all areas of the economy. Looking back on the history of the combine, the technical possibilities and the social hopes attached to them, as well as the political and economic contradictions that ultimately led to the failure of the GDR, are condensed. With photographs, film narratives, installations and graphic works, some of which were created in the GDR, the exhibition takes a look at these developments.

Project manager Hanar Hupka will guide you through the exhibition.
