The exhibition presents media art in Hungary from its beginnings to our present days, also, the lifework of artists who apply perpetually renewing technologies in creating their works.

Focus will be on particular artworks from Ludwig Museum’s collection which provide a comprehensive view of main tendencies in media art, meanwhile illustrate special Eastern European features of this genre.

Not only the artworks will be shown to the public, but also the process of their making will be rendered visible. In addition, curator’s unconcealed intention is to explore problematic issues related to the conservation and exhibition of technology-based artworks and to draw attention to the fact that amortisation of media based artworks is inescapable unless institutions start to develop an adequate conservation plan.
