Remix Art: How Contemporary Media Art Forges New Narratives

Hacking Identity—Dancing Diversity opens a vivid kaleidoscope of artistic notions of identity that reflect upon the particular and the universal, the aesthetic and the intellectual, the historical and the futuristic, the human and the non-human. Organized in cooperation with the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, a unique cultural institution in Europe, expanding the original tasks of a museum by combining research, exhibitions and performances, the exhibition is curated by Anett Holzheid, scientific consultant at ZKM, and Peter Weibel, its chairman and director.
Under the heading Hacking Identity - Dancing Diversity, 28 contemporary artworks by internationally acclaimed media artists have been installed throughout the historic industrial building. Video installations, large-scale screen projections, participatory artworks and sculptural objects visualise phenomena related to the dissolution, transformation and duplication of identity. On three floors of the Möllerei, visitors can encounter doppelgängers, avatars, iconic figures from the world of gaming, bizarre sci-fi creatures and surprisingly ambiguous mirror images.
