5.5. – 27.6.2025 Monkeys, Machines, and Multiperspectivities. Transmissions from within the ludic mind. Psycholudic research group, solo-show. AIL Gallery, Haus für Wissenschaft und Kunst, ehem. Otto-Wagner PSK. 1010 Wien. https://ail.angewandte.at/program/monkeys-machines-and-multiperspectivities Monkeys, Machines, and Multiperspectivities is a call to embrace the transformative power of play. As visitors move through this experimental landscape, they will encounter new perspectives, rethink their roles in the world, and explore how small shifts in perspective can unlock vast potential for creative and collective action. Through this dynamic intersection of art, science, and play, the project offers a vision of a future defined by empathy, interconnectedness, and the endless possibilities of the ludic mind. Presented through the lens of the Psycho-Ludic Approach (with methods by artistic research, experimental psychology and neuroscience), this exhibition challenges conventional ideas of agency, perspective, and societal structures and explore alternative motivations for play. The current global crises show that humanity's exploitation-based strategies have come to an end: conquering new worlds, accumulating possessions and winning. These strategies, which are now failing, are reflected in games and their mechanisms.
