"Smartphones and algorithms influence our attention and shift our worlds of experience - the promise of optimization turns into a feeling of being overwhelmed and distracted." The two positions playfully and analogously examine this transformation and develop new painterly and sound-sculptural works for the exhibition, which are juxtaposed in the exhibition space.

Miriam Steinmacher uses organ pipes and radial blowers to create objects that imitate echo chambers and produce sounds. In this way, they communicate with each other in an incomprehensible way, or form a multi-sound that plays in the Bellevue Saal.

In contrast, there are paintings by Thilo Jenssen, on which screenshots of cell phone settings and digital communication are applied and alienated through sanding. In the series, digital technology merges with sculptural painting and captures the fleeting nature of digital images on canvas.

Together, the works pose questions about the interaction between technology and our relationship to the world, to others and to ourselves.
