Machine Entanglements
The 30th edition of the Noorderlicht Biennale focuses on the entangled relationship between technology, ecology, and society. The rapid pace of technological progress has a profound impact on biodiversity, social structures, and our shared past.
With Machine Entanglements, Noorderlicht aims to raise awareness and spark dialogue: how does technology shape our lives, our landscapes, and our collective memory? Visitors are invited to reflect on their own position within these technological transitions.
Roosje Klap, director of Noorderlicht, explains: “This anniversary edition offers a necessary reflection on the world we live in. The works reveal just how deeply technology permeates our daily lives.”
