1tbsp contemporary art galleryWhere do we stand?
We stand at the intersection of art, science, and technology, partnering with artists, scientists, technologists, designers, developers, and activists worldwide to explore critical questions shaping our future. Our mission centers on the transformative potential of contemporary art and new media, examining how they reshape our understanding of connection, collaboration, and creativity.
Who we stand with?
With humans at the heart of our vision, we explore how digitalization affects every facet of our lives, asking what technology means for our collective existence and how it can serve a future that upholds values like freedom, dignity, and human rights.
What do we research?
We shed light on current developments in our digital society and speculate about their manifestations in the future. We never ask what technology can, or will be able to do, but always wonder what it should do for us. We’re not adapting to technology; instead, we aim to shape its development to align with human needs and values.
Therefore, our artistic research always focuses on ourselves, our needs, our desires, our feelings.
We’re not excited about technology, we’re excited about what we can do with it.
Once we came to accept the photographic image as reality, the way to its future simulation was open.
Technology is culture, and culture shapes technology.
What do we stand for?
We stand for digital humanism. With Machine Learning and Co, we are initiating the transition from automation to autonomy today. The digital becomes independent for the first time. On the threshold of this new era, we must set the course for our digital society to remain committed to fundamental values such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and human rights. Together with artists, scientists, developers, designers, entrepreneurs and activists from all over the world, we want to contribute to such a digital humanism.
What do we do?
Everything revolves around groundbreaking ideas and grand visions, unusual prototypes and innovative collaborations, inspiring art and groundbreaking research, extraordinary performances and irritating interventions, touching sounds and rousing concerts.

1tbsp serious topicsSocial Inequality
The pandemic exposed and exacerbated issues of inequality in healthcare, economic opportunities, and access to essential resources. Many argue that these inequalities were present long before, and “normal” meant systemic disadvantage for marginalized groups.
Climate Change
- “Normality” for much of the modern industrial era has involved unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, leading to climate disasters. The argument here is that returning to previous ways of living means continuing the destruction of the planet.
Work Culture
For many, “normal” work culture meant long hours, poor work-life balance, and exploitative conditions. The disruption caused by the pandemic led to shifts like remote work, and people questioning whether the old way was truly sustainable or healthy.
What is "normality"?
“Normality,” is a social construct that reflects the dominant patterns of behavior, values, and expectations in a given society. It’s often the routines, systems, and standards that people unconsciously adopt and follow because they seem stable, familiar, or inevitable.
↳ LET'S TALK ABOUT
1tbsp serious topicsRoutines and Systems
The rhythms of daily life—working, commuting, engaging in education, consumption, socializing, etc.—are all part of what is considered normal in modern society.
Cultural Expectations
The values and ideals we are raised with, like the need to be productive, conform to certain standards of success (like career achievement or consumerism), or follow prescribed paths for relationships, family, and social roles.
Institutional Frameworks
Things like the structure of government, the economy, healthcare, education systems, and legal systems that influence how we live and interact.
What is "normality"? (cont'd)
Just because something is normal doesn’t mean it’s fair or healthy. "Normality” could include systems that perpetuate inequality, exploitation, environmental degradation, or mental health struggles. A lot of what we call “normal” benefits a select group while disadvantaging others or harming the planet.
Normality is fluid, constantly reshaped by collective human behavior, events, and cultural shifts. Questioning or challenging the “normal” is essential for progress, and it makes us think of whether we can build a new, more inclusive and sustainable normality.
