Tag und Nacht Tag und Nacht schließt sich an eine Videoarbeit von 2001 an: Tag und Nacht sitze ich auf einer Bank. Tagsüber kann ich nichts hören, nachts höre ich Geräusche. Tag und Nacht 2021 als digitale Zeichnung zeigt Zeit und Dauer, Tag und Nacht als stete Wiederholung. Tag und Nacht. Vergessen und Erinnern.

BROKEN SCREEN OR DIGITAL DRAWING?
“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing
Für jeden Betrachter ist es eine Herausforderung , mit einer Linie auf Papier umzugehen, einer Linie oder einem Strich auf Papier. Aber er spürt das Papier, das Material, die von Hand angebrachte Zeichnung. Die Zeichnung ist Teil der realen materiellen Welt und kommuniziert mit ihm.
“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing
For every viewer it is a challenge to deal with a line on paper, a line or a stroke on paper. But he feels the paper, the material, the drawing applied by hand. The drawing is part of the real material world and communicates with him.

Die Linie zieht die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Leere des Blattes und zugleich auf die Fülle des Fehlenden.
“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing
The line draws attention to the emptiness of the sheet and at the same time to the fullness of what is missing.

Ich ziehe eine Linie auf dem Bildschirm. Was macht es zu einer anderen Erfahrung, eine Linie auf einem Bildschirm zu sehen? Warum vermuten manche Betrachter der Bildschirm sei gebrochen? Liegt es an der Sehgewohnheit, auf Bildschirmen Bilder und Geschichten zu erwarten? Liegt es daran, dass unsere Aufmerksamkeit auf Inhalt und Informationen gerichtet ist.
“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing
I draw a line on the screen. What makes seeing a line on a screen a different experience? Why do some viewers assume the screen is broken? Is it because of the viewing habit of expecting images and stories on screens? Is it because our attention is focused on content and information.

Die Linie wird nicht als ein Element einer Zeichnung wahrgenommen, sondern als technischer Defekt. Die digitale Linie lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit auf den Bildschirm als Medium, das uns zwingt Formen zu finden. Und so wird die Linie zur digitalen Zeichnung.
“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing
The line is not perceived as an element of a drawing, but as a technical defect. The digital line draws attention to the screen as a medium that forces us to find shapes. And so the line becomes a digital drawing.

Shao Yong, ein chinesischer Philosoph, Dichter und Kosmologe entwickelte im 11. Jahrhundert eine Anordnung aus acht Trigramme und vierundsechzig Hexagramme. Sechs Jahrhunderte später Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, ein deutscher Philosoph, Mathematiker und Jurist verwendete Shaos Anordnung bei der Entwicklung von binären Rechenoperationen.
Shao Yong, a Chinese philosopher, poet, and cosmologist developed an arrangement of eight trigrams and sixty-four hexagrams in the 11th century. Six centuries later Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, a German philosopher, mathematician and jurist used Shao’s arrangement in developing binary arithmetic operations.
Nicht nur Shao Yong verknüpfte das Dualsystem mit der chinesischen Philosophie und Weltanschauung, dem Daoismus, sondern auch Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz sah im Binärcode ein überzeugendes Sinnbild des christlichen Glaubens.
Not only Shao Yong linked dual system with Chinese philosophy and worldview, with the Taoism, but also Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz saw in the binary code a convincing symbol of the Christian faith.
Der Binärcode umfasst beides: Wissenschaft und Religion.
The binary code includes both: science and religion.
Wie geht aber Kunst mit dem Dualsystem um?
Wie reagiert zeitgenössische Kunst auf binärcodierte Media?
But how does art deal with the dual system? How does contemporary art react to binary-coded media?

Digital exhibition in public space:
Munich and Istanbul
Funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts; Munich Department of Culture; Ströer; MVG and Münchner Fenster; Istanbul municipality.
A digital exhibition project initiated by the Istanbul municipality, the Karşi Sanat Çalişmalari Art Center, the artist group Rhythm Section, and the Digital Art Space in Munich.
Due to the pandemic, exhibition venues are not allowed to hold openings and even have to remain closed. Exhibitions can not be presented and communicated. The distance between artists and viewers is more than ever. How can artists bring works closer to the public during the period of lockdown, when museums and exhibition halls are closed?
Digitization influences and changes daily life, relationships, works and even elections. Urban development is taking the form of a megamedium.
Smart city stands for intelligent networking within a city. Moving images are a trendy topic for media in public spaces. Moving images on public video screens offer the opportunity for effective communication with mobile audiences in passing. In istanbul, the metropolitan municipality currently operates more than 11000 public video systems. On Munich’s public transport system, a mix of editorial content and advertising is shown on 137 large screens at stations and directly in the subway and streetcar vehicles on more than 1,700 screens. The infotainment program Münchner Fenster shown in the vehicles alone reaches hundreds of thousands of passengers every week. The Münchner Fenster is produced by mcrud GmbH, the large screens are operated by Ströer.
In view of numerous requests from artists in Munich and Istanbul, the curators Dr. Karin Wimmer (Digital Art Space, Munich), Dr. Ezgi Bakçay (Karşi Sanat Çalişmalari Art Center, Istanbul) and the artist group Rhythm Section decided to establish a digital gallery.
RHYTHM SECTION SALON BINÄR is a digital gallery in public space that gives artists the opportunity to be seen and invites viewers to participate in the development of digital art. Art opens itself to the public and even to the public that does not come to the museum.
RHYTHM SECTION SALON BINÄR is a sustainable project, because no resources are consumed, the project uses the existing screens of the public urban space.
The digital gallery RHYTHM SECTION SALON BINÄR will make art visible to visitors by displaying digitally created works by the artists on screens in the public urban space of Munich and Istanbul over a period of one month.
RHYTHM SECTION
A project on the subject rhythm in visual arts.
Not to be confined by the greatest, yet to be contained within the smallest is a definition, which declared the enterprise of the artists group Rhythm Section.

PASSAGE: A GATHERING OF COLLECTIVES
Merkezkaç Art Collective is organizing a meeting of collectives after the “Encounters” exhibition that it co-operated with Space for Culture. With the principle of “unity is strength”, it brings together the art collectives and initiatives operating in various cities in Turkey and abroad. The collectives that come together in the project discuss the social issues such as identity, power, ecology, alienation, migration together with the current problems of contemporary art and try to make suggestions for possible solutions.
The exhibition aims to work on and determine the changes that collectives create through their own art practices in the centre and periphery (off-center) and aims to revive the dialogue environment by discussing the problems of the collectives together. It is among the goals of the project to shed light on the problems of the new collectives and to provide new perspectives to the young artist candidates.
