Exhibition opening

A collaboration between the KLUB DER KÜNSTE of the Deichtorhallen Hamburg and the TTLC - Through The Lens Collective, Johannesburg.

The exhibition 'AI vs HI' (artificial intelligence versus human intelligence) in the Galerie im Gang of the Deichtorhallen was created in parallel with the exhibition 'Survival in the 21st Century' as a collaboration between the cultural education of the Deichtorhallen and the 'Through the Lens Collective' (TTLC), Johannesburg, South Africa. Four photographers from the KDK in Hamburg and four participants from Johannesburg have engaged in a visual dialogue on the topic over the last four months and have worked together. In addition to the photographs, there will be four video installations in the exhibition, contextualizing the images.
