Map of the EU (Map Room)
Description

“Map of the EU” takes the ever evolving map of the EU as a symbol of the quest for belonging, our historical amnesia and lack of imagination when it comes out how we set boundaries. Everything computers do is built on a 1s and 0s binary way of thinking. This limitation of technology has seeped into our increasingly divided world. As our technology-based tools know no nuance we too have dispensed with it in our political and physical boardres. Art, with its endless gray zones, perspectives, and metaphors is the savior of our current condition. It targets what technology can’t do for us; it reminds us of uncertainty as a form of knowledge, of gray zones, of contradictions that we live better when we live with.
