Algorithmic Vertigo

A contribution to FOTO WIEN 2025: dynamic futures by the Digital Art department and its students

Algorithmic Vertigo is both an exhibition and a hypothesis. Speculative storytelling becomes a tool for reshaping the present by imagining possible futures. We negotiate tensions between control and freedom in a world of ubiquitous digital mediation. We recognize exhaustion. We acknowledge that the relationship between reality and the imagined future is changing. We prompt ourselves to find new ways of experiencing (digital) existence. New ideas about what could be called truth emerge.

Michéle Pagel: Kicking Upwards – Crawling Downwards!

Just in time for her lecture Beyond Good and Evil? On the Political Relevance of the Personal, Michèle Pagel is presenting works in the exhibition space at Paulusplatz under the title Kicking Upwards – Crawling Downwards!. The works span different phases of her career but share one common feature: they do not shy away from substance, tackling issues of critical contemporary relevance with verve, humor, and artistic resistance against hollowed-out and diluted political discourse.

HINSCHAUN! POGLEJMO!

Carinthia and National Socialism | Koroška in nacionalsocializem

With contributions by Paul Petritsch (Ortsbezogene Kunst)

Hinschaun! ist die Aufforderung, einen unverstellten Blick auf die NS-Herrschaft in Kärnten zu werfen und sich – 80 Jahre nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges – mit verdrängten Aspekten der eigenen Geschichte zu befassen. Von Kärnten aus geht es zu Schauplätzen von Krieg, Repression und Massenmord in Norwegen, Polen, Slowenien, Kroatien und Italien, werden Widerstände und vergessene Tatorte sichtbar gemacht, Nachkriegsbiografien neu kontextualisiert und die Rolle des Museums beleuchtet. Wir fragen: Was ist geschehen? Wie wurde erinnert? Und was bedeutet das für unsere Gegenwart?
