Launched in 2019 at the Csikász Gallery in Veszprém and held every two years since then, the Fototaxis thematic exhibition series will return in 2025 for the third time, offering an opportunity to showcase the work of the most interesting members of the young, newly graduated or already established generation of photographers.
Techno/Topia – Visions of the technical image
The visual perception of the 21st century is defined to an unprecedented extent by technical image-making and recording devices. These include a wide variety of cameras, drones, satellites, generative artificial intelligence software, and systems capable of producing images in the most diverse ways.
Through a few representative creative practices, the exhibition explores how technical images transform not only our concepts of reality, but also our concepts of images, and how they create their own utopias and dystopias.
Techno-Topia examines not only the dynamic transformation of perceptible reality through image technologies, but also the power structures, errors, and distortions hidden behind images. What do we call an image from now on, and for whom is this new visual world a dream and for whom a nightmare?
Exhibitors: Csilla Kőműves, Richárd Kiss, Viktor Varga–Lilla Váczi, Balázs Deim, Dávid Biró, Emese Toldi, Levente Ákos, Domonkos Tamás Németh.
The invited exhibitors are graduates of MOME, METU, and MATE, as well as members of FFS.
