Back to nature, digital detox & biophilia effect: Nature as a symbol for an unspoiled terrain and place of longing is currently undergoing a renaissance. For centuries nature has been postulated in opposition to culture—a dichotomy that is no longer sustainable today: New hybrid forms between organic/inorganic environments and technical artefacts render such a distinction obsolete. The exhibition Nature \ nature at the Kunstraum Niederoesterreich presents ten artistic positions, which deal with the future and the state of nature under the influence of our technology-fixated present.

The show curated by Mirela Baciak invites the viewer to reflect upon the stability of prevailing concepts of nature because, as she puts it: “After all, nature is never merely natural; it is a human invention that is constantly in flux.”
