AMRO20 exhibition was transformed into a journey through artistic projects dealing with the festival topic "Of Whirlpools and Tornadoes". As the festival became "radically digital", these projects were kind of lost in a garden of clouds. That became the title of the show. Exhibition design curated by artist duo Sai Bao and Yang Mu.

Welcome everyone! our remote festival finally starts, we are happy to have you here!

"Digitalization will come" - this is the mantra of our society. In recent decades the atmosphere of the city has changed drastically. The environment has been transformed into a high-frequency electromagnetic field by the increasing number of antennas. In my talk, I will use examples from art and technology to speculate on how the change in urban space and atmospheres can be grasped, but also why 5G is a perfect case for techno-criticism and conspiracy theories alike.

Deep time is understood as the concept behind geological time: the history of the earth from its beginnings as a molten ball of matter until the present. Deep futures do not yet exist, they are a thought-vehicle to speculate within the probability space of a future earth.

Part of the opening night, also this years Exhibition "Lost in a garden of clouds" will open with a "tour". This will be done through a short conversation with the two exhibition designers Yang Mu and Sai Bao.

AMRO20 Nightline is streamed by dorfTV and radio FRO. Tonight: Exhibition Opening, Joana Chicau, Gunship Collider, Heavy Lifting.
