Virtual Body

The exhibition project “Virtual Body” takes up an omnipresent topic of our contemporary culture:The reciprocity between self-perception and the representation of the human body in the Internet Age. “Virtual Body”, to be seen from 12^th March until 17^th April 2016 at NRW-Forum Düsseldorf, is devoted to a new digital form language with nine national and international artists and negotiates the relation of the virtual body to its natural counterpoint: the human being created by nature.
