Featuring the latest works by artists from all over the world, the WRO Media Art Biennale is Poland’s main forum for new media art and one of Europe’s leading arts events.
This year’s exhibitions, shows, meetings, performances and concerts will be staged under the motto of Draft Systems. The phrase represents the mutability of the world’s regulatory systems, highlights their complexity and instability, underscores their volatile control-defying nature and foregrounds on-going reorganisations of reality.
Held at 17 venues across Wroclaw, exhibitions and shows will present projects by over 100 artists invited by the WRO Art Center’s curatorial staff alongside entries selected from among 1300 received from all over the world in an open call.
