About
From documentary film pictures, and the adapted use of classic film language to the aesthetics of Japanese anime, the works of art in this exhibition focus on and explore relationships between mind, body and technology, with installations and single-channel-videos ranging from the 1990s to the present. The title „Micro Era“ refers to the eponymous short story by the widely translated and published Chinese science fiction author Cixin Liu (2013) that tells of a future far from the belief in human predominance.
