Screen City Biennial presents a program with internationally renowned artists and new commissions.

Sept. 23 – Oct. 20 at the Archenhold Observatory, Schering Stiftung, Treptower Park and Pariser Platz

From September 23 to October 20, Berlin’s Archenhold Observatory and other sites in its urban landscape will become a platform for contemporary art practices embracing a variety of time-based media, including the moving image and sound. With a program, curated by IKT Members, Daniela Arriado and Vanina Saracino, Screen City Biennial (SCB) explores the liminal states of human consciousness, placing the notion of the human in relation to beings of other species such as plants, bacteria, fungi, as well as exploring our entanglement with technology.

The exhibition presents new works by Anna Ehrenstein with 4DHD, Eli Cortiñas, Espen Sommer Eide, Lundahl & Seitl, Lundahl & Seitl with ScanLAB Projects, Metahaven, Grace Ndiritu, Jacob Kirkegaard, Jenna Sutela, Patricia Domínguez, and Viktor Pedersen with Ingrid K. Bjørnaali. These works aim to collectively expand our notions of the “human,” exploring the interconnections among all living and non- living matter—both on a planetary and a microcosmic scale.
