FUTURE SHOCK exhibition

FUTURE SHOCK

28.4.2022 — 28.8.2022

"Future Shock" presents a visionary exploration of digital culture and its impact on contemporary art. This exhibition brings together leading artists working at the forefront of digital technology, electronic music, and immersive media to create experiences that challenge our perception of reality.

The exhibition features work by UVA, Nonotak, Actual Objects, Caterina Barbieri, and Ibby Njoya—artists who use cutting-edge technology to create immersive environments that blur the boundaries between physical and digital space. Through light, sound, and interactive installations, these works explore themes of technological transformation and digital consciousness.

"Future Shock" takes its name from Alvin Toffler's seminal 1970 book, which predicted the psychological impact of rapid technological change. The exhibition examines how contemporary artists are responding to our accelerated digital age, creating works that both celebrate and critique our relationship with technology.

Each installation in the exhibition creates a unique sensory experience, combining sophisticated lighting systems, spatial audio, and interactive elements to transport visitors into otherworldly environments. The show demonstrates how digital art has evolved to become one of the most dynamic and influential movements in contemporary culture.
