The starting point for the exhibition ‘Fabric of Dreams: Towards a Technodiversity’ – which is the culmination of a semester-long lecture series – is the assumption that weal and woe of digital media technologies have always been two sides of the same coin. Rethinking today’s techno-scientific model with its extractivist and increasingly violent logic calls for concepts capable of moving beyond the flawed idea that universal technological solutions are the answers to our social problems; and, conversely, the assumption that our political distortions are merely induced by technological developments. Instead, we need to lay bare the complex – and often contested – relations we entertain with our machines.
