The exhibition brings together emerging positions that engage with the potential and challenges of digital media through installations, videos, concerts, and performances.

At the opening, composer Marcus Schmickler performs on the paper tube organ, developed at the Studio for Electronic Music and Acoustics at HfMDK. For the closing, HfMDK presents two acousmatic and immersive 8-channel pieces by the English composer and pioneer of electronic music, Trevor Wishart.
