They Call It Reality
In the framework of “Crosskick – German Art Associations Play Host to European Art Schools” a project of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft deutscher Kunstvereine (ADKV)

From 6 to 21 October 2007, in the framework of “Crosskick – German Art Associations Play Host to European Art Schools” a project of the Organization of German Art Associations (Arbeitsgemeinschaft deutscher Kunstvereine, ADKV), Hartware MedienKunstVerein is showing selected works by diploma candidates and graduates of the New Media Studies course of the Media & Art programme of the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). The works presented in the show They Call It Reality are distinctive for the wide notion of media art displayed as well as for a broad range of themes, artistic approaches and an extended notion of what is public. Installations, net projects, collaborative platforms, urban interventions and performative formats re-negotiate the boundaries with visual and audio art.
