Moi et les autres

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.

Self Storage

6. – 10. Mai 2026
Gruppenausstellung, Galerie Ellia, Paris

We are made of memory, but memory itself is a fiction 

The exhibition Self Storage investigates how individuals construct identity through personal and intimate recollections, as well as through the technical and social systems that shape their traces. Memory is not an objective recording: it is an assemblage, a selective construction built from both forgetting and persistence. A memory emerges within a space shaped by desire, loss, and reconstruction. Self Storage foregrounds this subjective and unstable dimension of remembering. Diaries, family archives, obsolete technologies, and bodily reminiscences become raw materials to examine the materiality of memory and its capacity for reinvention.

Hard drives, clouds, online profi les, and social networks are gradually replacing notebooks and photo albums. This massive externalization questions the boundary between private memory and public exposure, between lived traces and standardized data. Self Storage extends this inquiry into a contemporary era where identity is stored, outsourced, and endlessly duplicated. Through the works assembled, the exhibition off ers a poetic and critical drift between real and invented memory, intimate and externalized. It prompts us to consider: What do we need to retain? What do we choose to forget? And what becomes of the “self” when it is reduced to archives, content, and imprints?

readOn Konferenz

31. März 2026
Talk, LUX Pavillon, Hochschule Mainz, Mainz

Am 31. MÀrz findet im LUX Pavillon der Hochschule Mainz die ganztÀgige, vierte Ausgabe der readOn Konferenz unter dem Titel AT THE EDGE OF KNOWING statt.

Die Konferenz richtet den Blick auf jene Momente, in denen Wissen brĂŒchig wird – wenn sich zwischen Gewissheit und Vermutung, Erkenntnis und Ahnung ein offener Raum auftut. Ein Raum, der sich eindeutigen Definitionen entzieht: Fragen werden wichtiger als Antworten, Prozesse bedeutsamer als Ergebnisse – und Unsicherheit erscheint nicht als Mangel, sondern als produktive Kraft.

AT THE EDGE OF KNOWING lĂ€dt dazu ein, diese Schwelle des Verstehens bewusst zu betreten. Gemeinsam suchen wir nach neuen Perspektiven auf Gestaltung, Begegnung und das Denken möglicher ZukĂŒnfte. Nicht-Wissen wird dabei nicht umgangen, sondern als Ausgangspunkt ernst genommen.

In VortrĂ€gen und Diskussionen untersuchen geladene GĂ€ste, welche Rolle Unsicherheit in gestalterischen Prozessen, in der Forschung und in unserer Haltung zur Zukunft spielen kann. Die Konferenz versteht sich nicht als abgeschlossener Zustand, sondern als Reflexion eines Prozesses, der sich in die Ungewissheit hinein entfaltet – und lĂ€dt dazu ein, gemeinsam an den Rand des Wissens zu treten und die Weite des Unscharfen zu erkunden. In ungewissen Zeiten möchten wir Raum schaffen, um zusammenzukommen – und statt am scheinbar Sicheren festzuhalten, bewusst loszulassen und neu zu denken. Die Teilnahme ist gegen eine freiwillige Spende möglich.

Organisiert von den Studierenden des Masterstudiengangs Kommunikationsdesign der Hochschule Mainz.

Well informed. Badly disposed.

Well informed. Badly disposed.
Doomscrolling, Negativbias und die sozialen Herausforderungen

Ort EIGENHEIM Weimar, Asbachstraße 1, 99423 Weimar / Eröffnung 14.03.2026 um 19 Uhr mit dem DJ Set Druck – Resonanz – Kontrollverlust von Christoph Höfferl / Dauer 15.03.2025 – 25.04.2026

beteiligte KĂŒnstler*innen: Anna Bittersohl, Aram Bartholl, Simon Baumgart, Jonas Blume, Benedikt Braun, Elisa Jule Braun, Paolo Cirio, Ben Grosser, Esra GĂŒlmen, Susanne Junker, Philipp Kummer, Marc Lee, Kayla Mattes, Signe Pierce, Theresa Rothe, Michal Schmidt, Stefan Schiek

Der Auftakt des Jahresprogramms, das sich Zuversicht, PositivitĂ€t und kollektiver Lebensfreude widmet, wird durch die Ausstellung „Well informed. Badly disposed.“ markiert. Zugleich versteht sich diese erste Ausstellung als bewusste Problemanalyse: Sie benennt die Bedingungen, unter denen ein positives Jahresthema heute nicht naiv, sondern notwendig erscheint – als Haltung, um zunehmender Polarisierung, Emotionalisierung und politischer Vereinnahmung von Information etwas entgegenzusetzen.

Im Zentrum stehen die Mechanismen von Doomscrolling und Negativbias – PhĂ€nomene, die unsere Wahrnehmung, unsere Stimmung und zunehmend auch den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs prĂ€gen. Eine immersive, dĂŒster-dystopische Ausstellungskulisse definiert einen bewusst abstoßenden Raum und schafft einen von ReizĂŒberflutung geprĂ€gten Erfahrungsrahmen, der Angst, Erschöpfung, Ekel und AbgrĂŒndigkeit vermittelt. Die Ausstellung macht jene emotionale Überforderung erfahrbar, die aus der permanenten Konfrontation mit negativen Nachrichten entsteht.

KĂŒnstlerische Positionen untersuchen, wie digitale InformationsflĂŒsse, soziale Medien und algorithmische Logiken unser Denken und FĂŒhlen beeinflussen. Dabei wird deutlich: Plattformen sind nicht neutral. Sie spiegeln ökonomische und politische MachtverhĂ€ltnisse wider, verstĂ€rken Polarisierungen und prĂ€gen demokratische Öffentlichkeiten weltweit. Zugleich zeigt sich, dass individuelle Mediennutzung eng mit Fragen von Verantwortung, Vertrauen und Bildung verknĂŒpft ist. Die Ausstellung macht sichtbar, wie stark wir dazu neigen, das Negative stĂ€rker zu gewichten als das Positive – und wie soziale Medien und Informationsplattformen diesen Bias gezielt nutzen, um Aufmerksamkeit zu maximieren.

„Well informed. Badly disposed.“ beleuchtet bewusst die negativen EinflĂŒsse unserer medialen Umwelt und macht zugleich neugierig auf die weiteren Ausstellungen des Jahresthemas. Sie eröffnet den notwendigen Kontrast, um die Kraft der Zuversicht in den folgenden Projekten umso stĂ€rker erfahrbar werden zu lassen. So bildet diese erste Ausstellung den kritischen Auftakt fĂŒr ein Programm, das Schritt fĂŒr Schritt Perspektiven auf Optimismus, Empathie und kollektive Freude entfaltet.
