Info
On 1. – 2.7.26, Haus der Kunst is collaborating with the Emergent Digital Media Class led by Hito Steyerl and Francis Hunger at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich for the conference Decoherence – The Aesthetics and Politics of Quantum Technologies. On the first day, the event will take place at the Haus der Kunst; on the second day, it will be held at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
This collaboration reflects our long-term commitment to younger generations of artists and cultural producers, and to the strong networks and exchanges that shape Munich’s cultural and academic landscape.
The conference brings together artists, writers and physicists to explore the aesthetic and social relationships between art and quantum physics. We share the conviction that urgent questions such as those raised by quantum technologies are best explored where different forms of knowledge meet and challenge established ways of thinking.
The project also connects directly to the ongoing transformation of Haus der Kunst and to our support of experimental practices across disciplines. Through initiatives such as HausCode, the live exhibition ECHOES, and collaborations linking contemporary art, science, and technology, including that with the Technical University and the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, we continue to foster an open ecosystem for transdisciplinary cooperation and artistic exchange.
Tomás Saraceno will participate in the second day of the conference ahead of his exhibition “Ancestral Futures”, opening at Haus der Kunst on 17.7.26.
