Media images and digital data are materials of postindustrial culture. They are used to model images of Self and Other, to shape connections between the individual and society, between physical and virtual worlds. Media artists hack these practices and, in their works, open up alternative perspectives to “fossilized” identity debates. Hacking Identity—Dancing Diversity sets the heritage-listed building of the Möllerei in motion with twenty-eight works of international media art.

About Esch2022
In 2022, Esch-Alzette, Luxembourg’s second largest city, was European Capital of Culture together with eighteen Luxembourg and French municipalities. Media arts exhibitions developed in collaboration with leading international institutions were the cornerstones of the visual arts programme unfolding in a stunning post-industrial location: the City of Sciences and Innovation in Esch-Belval.
