Staatliche Museen zu Berlin

The exhibition attempts to explore the connections and disconnections of intricately networked and fuzzily entangled currents and layers of migration: taxonomies of image trajectories between historical diaspora, current refugee migration and their media technological orders; streams of data, goods, and tourists along both rivers and wires; logistical and architectural infrastructures and their destruction and displacement; artificial seeds and their miraculous capital and disastrous experimentalism; cultural and personal memory, data mining and raw resource mining; different critical perspectives on technological, intellectual and artistic labour, automation and autonomy, power and control.

Curated by Paul Feigelfeld

With works by Antonia Cattan, Liesel Burisch, Vanessa Gravenor, Ben Mccready, Julia Mensch/Aurelio Kopainig, Stefanie Rau and Bruno Siegrist
