The Bal Masqué is a virtual club night: a corona-proof merger of an online dance battle, a digital masked ball and a multitude of individual VJ-set. You are all invited to wear your most crazy digital or real masks and party with us. Because of the pandemic, we now live, meet, work, celebrate and breathe online, and the ZOOM virtual background and Snap Camera mask options have become the new way to give flavor to our digital existence.

TARKOVSKY – DER 8. FILM
Thomas Cornelius Desi 2020 (AT)

The play tells the story of the eighth film by legendary filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, which was no longer made, and is based in part on true events. A robot, a strange mirror, the entanglement of reality and digitality are the core elements of Thomas Desis "Tarkovsky - The 8th Film".

DNA is capable of storing digital data better than silicon in our computers. It fits millions of terabytes in a few grams suspension in the water, minimizing the ecological cost of the global network of digital databases. The binary code only needs to be decoded into the synthesized DNA strands.

LIT Exhibition

While art and science once fed from a common source, the two disciplines were steered in separate directions at the end of the Renaissance. The rise of media art in the mid-20th century marks a turning point in this divergent development. Technological and scientific achievements were absorbed by art and advanced to become the raw material of aesthetic expression.
