When your email inbox is overflowing with invitations, you know: Berlin Art Week is here. And every year, it seems to get bigger. More opulent. More diverse. More interdisciplinary. More interesting. It’s easy to lose track of everything. One of this year’s highlights, which should not be missed, is the Digital Art Lab: For the first time, there will be a meeting place for digital art in the Haus am Lützowplatz. In addition to free workshops (for example, the Coding Art Lab), talks, and performances, the upcoming exhibition entitled “Unleashed Utopias. Artistic Speculations on the Present and Future in the Metaverse.” about VR art, expansive installations, social change, bodies in digitality and the influence of artificial intelligence on society, the world, and nature. Curated by Tina Sauerländer, the second edition of the VR Art Award of the DKB in cooperation with CAA Berlin will be presented here. The works by Marlene Bart, Anan Fries, Rebecca Merlic, Mohsen Hazrati, and Lauren Moffatt are immersive, political, topical, and innovative. Virtual realities that are full of relevance – both in terms of content and aesthetics. How nice that this digital spectacle lasts longer than the Berlin Art Week.
