Shenzhen MOCAUP to Host Technological Art Exhibition: Topologies of the Real

"Topologies of the Real" is conceived as a three-part exhibition under the rubrics of "Reality Interrupted," "Datumsoria: The Return of the Real," and "Multiverse: Ecology without Nature." ZKM's "Art in Motion: Masterpieces with and through Media" further extends the media-historical fundamentals of "Reality Interrupted." The exhibition examines the trajectories of how artistic imagination has challenged and redefined the notion of reality under the technological construct of spacetime, which has manifestly accelerated since the mid-twentieth century. It also brings to light the political, economic, and cultural conundrums, and the creative potentialities implicated by flattened and instantaneous digital contemporary.

"Topologies of the Real" is conceived as a three-part exhibition under the rubrics of "Reality Interrupted," "Datumsoria: The Return of the Real," and "Multiverse: Ecology without Nature." ZKM's "Art in Motion: Masterpieces with and through Media" further extends the media-historical fundamentals of "Reality Interrupted." The exhibition examines the trajectories of how artistic imagination has challenged and redefined the notion of reality under the technological construct of spacetime, which has manifestly accelerated since the mid-twentieth century. It also brings to light the political, economic, and cultural conundrums, and the creative potentialities implicated by flattened and instantaneous digital contemporary.

The exhibition has been also envisioned as a Shenzhen -based forefront to advance global discourses on art, technology and ecology. This exhibition, staged in Shenzhen , the hi-tech hub in China and the new economic powerhouse for the Guangdong -Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, will provide a fresh outlook on the social development and the emerging trends brought about by the efforts to integrate art and technology, thus, expanding new horizons on art and culture in a technologically transformed world.

The exhibition is organized by Shenzhen MOCAUP, Institute of Sci-Tech Art China Central Academy of Fine Arts and New Media Art Foundation. ZHANG Ga, internationally recognized media art curator and CAFA professor, is curator of "Topologies of the Real" and co-curator with the late Peter Weibel , Siegfried Zielinski and Daria Mille of the China edition of ZKM's Art in Motion: Masterpieces with and through Media exhibition.
