This year’s SHOWING STYRIA is dedicated to biodiversity. Part of this is a mobile pavilion, an exhibition element that takes up the show’s content. This year it engages with ‘atmospheres’, which provide the basic conditions for the diversity of life. The show is created using synergies between art, technology and research. A part of this presentation space is now specially hosted in New York. Opened on November 13, 2023 in the Austrian Cultural Forum, the exhibition combines video art, experimental film, contemporary composition and research.
