Information Society
The eye sees only what the minds prepared to comprehend.— Henri Bergson The reflection on information has become central in today’s debate about consciousness and perception of reality. I am conscious therefore I am. Through the accumulation of history humankind was able to grow in information and, therefore, in perception of realness. But it is this same accumulated information what makes us doubt about the realness we experience. Such a context defies the definition itself of the word information to give form to the mind. What is the power of information in a complex
society such as today´s? Is information acting as the anti-matter of sensible reality? We are symbolic creatures: how do we explain reality? To promote this debate, artists Hermann Solowe, Juan Arata and Kuno Ebert will be showing a series of works exploring the concept of information through a set of different works and medias on the upcoming exhibition at HilberRaum.
Participating artists: Juan Arata, Kuno Ebert, Hermann Solowe
