Official Text:
The Interface Cultures department presents an exhibition born out of the Archaeology of Media
22/23 course, led by Gebhard Sengmüller.
The exhibition explores the forgotten histories of
media and their implications in our contemporaneity.
"The concept behind the exhibition Cross-sections
lies in uncovering the hidden layers of media, where
the boundaries of time and perception intertwine to form an interconnected narrative. We speak of the
near past as the technologies of time have had profound repercussions on our present, historicized echoes that we nevertheless tend to forget and
thus fall within the crevice of media archaeology.
Rather than a linear narrative, the exhibition seeks
to unveil the parallel, forgotten and even fictitious strands of the development of contemporary media apparatuses. The focus is on presenting a more nuanced understanding of the evolution of media emphasizing artifacts, lost innovations, and the
critical role of artists in the reuse of obsolete technologies. Each artwork presented is intended
as a cross-section, a horizontal layer of media stratification, aimed at reevaluating media
artifacts. By making the unseen visible within
their artistic frames, the artists lead us on a voyage through the intricate topics of identity, relationships
and communication."
