Me and the Others

12. März – 13. September 2026
Gruppenausstellung, Fondation EDF, Paris

By occupying nearly a third of our waking hours, screens are profoundly reshaping the contours of our relationships with others. In response, numerous journalistic and academic discourses echo concerns about the digital migration of our social lives: the idea frequently arises that the socio-technical systems at work in this migration are making us more resistant to diversity.

Our intention is to nuance this concern by acknowledging a foundational aspect of the internet—its original design to facilitate the virtuous and unprecedented emergence of communities of specific interests, often far more specialized than what our traditional offline social circles can accommodate. This utopia inevitably carries a tension between, on the one hand, the benefits of more efficient and far-reaching sociability, and on the other, the widely discussed risks of a social life limited to alters who are most similar to ourselves.

Curated by AurĂ©lie ClĂ©mente-Ruiz, director of the MusĂ©e de l’Homme in Paris, and Camille Roth, a researcher at CNRS in social sciences.

Today Is a Good Day to Discuss Digital Rights

20. November 2025 – 3. Mai 2026
Gruppenausstellung, Fundacion Telefonica, Madrid

A look at how our online practices leave a trace and shape our rights. Drawing on the Charter of Digital Rights (2021), the exhibition explores seven key areas with humour and everyday examples. Framed within the Observatory of Digital Rights and curated by FundaciĂłn TelefĂłnica and Domestic Data Streamers, the show encourages reflection and debate around the safe, responsible, critical, and creative use of technology.

We accept cookies as if they were freshly baked biscuits, without having the slightest idea of what ingredients they contain. We share photos of our children’s birthdays or family trips as if they were WhatsApp stickers, without knowing where they might end up. We use the same password for our bank account and our grocery app (spoiler: not a good idea). We check a website to see if it’s going to rain, only to give away our data like candy on Halloween.

The exhibition Today Is a Good Day to Discuss Digital Rights seeks to raise awareness about the rights and duties that citizens exercise and develop in the digital sphere. Moreover, the show invites us to keep debating and building a system of guarantees around the digital ecosystem — a kind of ethical guide that helps us understand what digital rights and duties are, what they imply, and the opportunities the technological environment offers citizens.

Framed within the initiative of the Observatory of Digital Rights and curated by Fundación Telefónicatogether with the artistic collective Domestic Data Streamers — which presents six installations —, the exhibition features works by contemporary artists such as United Visual Artists, Eva & Franco Mattes, Paolo Cirio, Noemí Iglesias Barrios, Theresa Reiwer, Hasan Elahi, and Aram Bartholl, among others. Their works challenge visitors, help them understand, and encourage reflection on our actions as digital beings. A much-needed exhibition, it fuels the debate around digital rights and duties, and calls for a safe, responsible, critical, and creative use of technology. Because today is a good day to discuss Digital Rights.

Fundraiser: Gaza Biennale Berlin

13. September 2025
Gruppenausstellung, Engeldamm 64, 10179 Berlin, Berlin

Join us on Saturday, September 13, 2025, 13–20h at Engeldamm 64, 10179 Berlin (Kreuzberg).

Solidarity Fundraiser for the
Gaza Biennale –- Berlin Pavilion
Works by 100+ Berlin artists
Each work €50

Over 120 Berlin-based artists have already donated works on paper in solidarity with colleagues in Palestine. The fundraiser will make the Berlin Pavilion possible: It will support the participating artists in Gaza by paying them artist fees, reproducing works that cannot leave Gaza under the siege, and expanding the ecosystem of the Biennale that allows the public to engage with their work.

If you are a Berlin-based artist and would like to contribute works on paper to the fundraiser, please email fundraising@gazabiennaleberlin.com for more information.

Radio Spaetkauf panel

13. September 2025
Talk, EuropÀische Akademie Berlin, Berlin

Join us live-in-studio with season two of the Radio Spaetkauf x EuropÀische Akademie Berlin podcast collaboration. This year we focus on CULTURE. Each episode features fresh voices and perspectives representing a wide array of backgrounds, expertise and disciplines. Host Daniel Stern is joined by researchers, academics, independent artists, journalists and community leaders with unique insights into our evolving cultural interactions.

September 13th: Museums are more than just buildings that house objects. They are sites of memory, meaning, and power – spaces where stories are told, preserved, and sometimes contested. But who decides what’s worth keeping? And how do museums evolve in response to the cultures and technologies of their time?

As boundaries blur between archive and activism, exhibition and experience, we ask: What is a museum today? And what should it be? Together we explore the shifting roles of museums in shaping public understanding, identity, and imagination.

Guests include:

Michael Soltau – Synthesizer Museum Berlin
Aram Bartholl – Media and concept artist
Lilja-Ruben Vowe – PhD in cultural history, curator and inclusive mediator
Dr. Wenke Wegner – Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation

Host: Dan Stern

MINIMALE REVOLTE Festival

23. Juli 2025
Gruppenausstellung, Public space, Charlottenburg, Berlin

The festival brings artistic short films into public space – presented in a mobile, seemingly improvised exhibition object: a transport cart with pneumatic tires, stacked with various boxes, crates and bags, all secured with colorful tension straps. Through peepholes in these containers, passersby can watch the films on hidden tablets or smartphones. The route leads through five locations in the district (Goslaer Platz, MierendorïŹ€platz, Österreichpark, Schustehruspark, Lietzenseepark). At each stop, the “mini-museum” stays for about one hour. The project is accompanied throughout the day by the two artists and curators Marian Luft and Moritz Frei, who will be present to assist and engage with the audience.

KILL YOUR PHONE! at ‚Digital Interventions. Bodies, Infrastructures, Politics‘ conference

November 22, 2025

I gave a talk and workshop at the annual conference of the „Digital Interventions. Bodies, Infrastructures, Politics“ FU Sonderforschungsbereiche/ research cluster at HAU 2 Berlin, May 2025.

„KILL YOUR PHONE! is an open workshop format by the Berlin-based artist Aram Bartholl. The workshop took place on May 10, 2025, during the annual conference »Digital Interventions. Bodies, Infrastructures, Politics« of the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) Intervening Arts at HAU Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin, with conference participants and was documented by Aron KĂŒhner and Bjarne Meisel.“

Mit NĂ€hmaschinen, Garn und einem speziellen Stoff entsteht im Workshop ein tragbares Funkloch – in Form einer HandyhĂŒlle. Diese HĂŒlle blockiert sĂ€mtliche Signale: kein Senden, kein Empfangen. So wird das Handy stillgestellt – es ist tot!

Aram Bartholl lĂ€dt ausdrĂŒcklich zum Nachmachen ein: mit Freund*innen, Nachbar*innen, in der Schule oder im Gemeindezentrum. Die stellt er auf seiner Website bereit.

Und so wurde die Idee im Workshop wÀhrend der Jahrestagung umgesetzt:

Der Videobeitrag von Aron KĂŒhner und Bjarne Meisel entstand im Rahmen des Forschungsmoduls »Postdigitale Interventionen«, welches im Sommersemester 2025 von Brigitte Weingart und Anja Dreschke an der UniversitĂ€t der KĂŒnste Berlin durchgefĂŒhrt wurde.

Interview – Friendly Reminder – rbb

Februar 13, 2024

„Diese leicht passiv-aggressiven Erinnerungen findet man hin und wieder in seinen Mails. Eine Sache, die wir uns aber sehr deutlich und zu jeder Zeit verdeutlichen sollten ist der Klimawandel, der gerade unsere AtmosphĂ€re anheizt. DafĂŒr hat der Medien- und KonzeptkĂŒnstler Aram Bartholl einen ganz besonderen Reminder geschaffen: einen QR-Code als Emoji, der am Eingang der Ausstellung „this is perfect, perfect, perfect“ im Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien lodert. Was es damit und dem seltsam anmutenden gerahmten Bild auf der gegenĂŒberliegenden Seite auf sich hat, erklĂ€rt uns Aram Bartholl etwas genauer.“

(Anti-)Konsumtempel

Schneiderei oder Zeitungskiosk: Was in den letzten Jahren alles zur Paketstation wurde, ist absurd genug. Der deutsche KĂŒnstler Aram Bartholl setzt fĂŒr „Ihr Paket ist abholbereit!“ (bis 25.2.2024) noch einen drauf und macht das Kirchenschiff der KUNSTHALLE OSNABRÜCK zum DHL Shop. Sein Kommentar zu unserem grenzenlosen GĂŒterkonsum – Elektroschrott tĂŒrmt sich da in der Halle – soll aber auch neue Besuchergruppen erschließen: Der DHL-Shop wird bis Laufzeitende wirklich bedient.

(Anmerkung: Es handelt sich lediglich um eine Packstation 😉
