Ivana Tkalčić: Error in Utopia v 0.2

Opening: Wed Jun 07, 19:00
Venue: Jan Arnold Gallery
Admission free

Once there was a clear distinction between reality and illusion, but today the boundarie disappeared. The most intimate part of our lives became the virtual world that feeds on the media. The tehnology shapes human consciousness and way of thinking, changeing our perception. We live in a world where there are more and more information, and less and less meaning. The term hyperreality marks a new concurrence of circumstances in which disappears every tension between reality and illusion, between reality as it is and as it should be.
