Digital art exhibition «The New Freak Show»

Monsters have always pursued people. First they were heroes of ancient legends, figures on artists’ canvases. Then they became part of our dreams and our culture. And now they are in everything around us.

About this event

The history of art has taught us not to trust our judgement. Thanks to cinema, we know that we ourselves can become monsters, and that something horrible can be beautiful. Today, everything is technology and pollution.

Every day, the limits of the impossible are crossed thanks to technological advances. The exhibition will explore the figure of the monster in the age of technology through humour and poetry. It includes a series of fairground attractions that refer to the freak shows popular in America in the mid-19th century. You will also be able to explore your own fears brought about by a rapidly changing world.

Here, an innovative show awaits you in which holograms created by artificial intelligence will dance cabaret and perform in a circus. The show, on the verge of absurdity, will reveal the learning capabilities of machines. There will also be a 24-hour news channel. And artificial intelligence will present its view of current trends concerning the body.
