HKW - Lecture Hall

‘Xeno_Tech’ presents video and media artists from Israel, Palestine, India and Indonesia, who incorporate the influence of (digital) technologies on cultural representation in their work. The programme shows a broad spectrum of approaches. ‘Planet of the Arabs’, ‘Dangdut Koplo' and ‘Scrolls’ reframe images from mass media and popular spectacle culture. ‘Beach Time', ‘Identity’ and ‘Visit Iraq' demystify cultural ‘Fremdkörper’ by documenting them, while ‘Halte vs Stampbox' and 'Chic Point' intertwine different realities, appropriating the aesthetics of music video to their own socio-political situation. In all, these pieces analyse, re-invent and shed a different light on the image of ‘the other'.
