One Exhibition in Two Parts at Two Times
Recent Interactive Installations produced at
ZKM Institute for Visual Media
www.zkm.de/surrogate
.........................................

One year after the opening of the Center for Art and
Media, the Institute for Visual Media presents surroGate,
an exhibition which chronicles its current position within
the productive domain where art, technology and society meet.

surroGate offers diverse models that communicate via a playful
mediated interaction between word, image and sound. Here
art proves to be a sensitive embodiment of new developments
that will ultimately encompass all facets of contemporary life.

surroGate describes new forms of expression and unfamiliar
spaces of experience. Visitors are invited to participate
and cooperate in network installations and interactive
environments, while at the same time they are confronted with
possible expository scenarios of societal processes.
