On the basis of 700 recordings, the exhibition illuminates the development of the record as a medium for art from the post-war period to the present day. The panorama is expanded by sound works from the National Gallery's extensive collection, including room-filling sound installations and immersive media works. The exhibition is intended as a tribute to artists and vinyl enthusiasts, but also as documentation of the renewed attention paid to the record as a niche product and collector's item.

With the new Seven.One Interaction Ecosystem, content on TV becomes interactive, and viewers become users.

The inspiration of our Member of the month April 2023 Ralf Huss.
After the exhibition stage in Munich in January, the works of the French artist JR can be seen at the Gallerie d'Italia in Turin until 16th July. At the centre of his artistic activity are larger-than-life art interventions in public space that deal with the problems of migrants and refugees. The size makes the artworks interactive, while thematically raising questions about social fragility. JR's art is created with people for people, emphasises individual as well as societal roles, and ultimately seeks to answer the question of whether art can change the world.

The exhibition promises a juxtaposition of different design positions from numerous post-socialist countries. Both realised and visionary designs, dedicated to private and public space, offer new and surprising insights and might contribute to an overdue reassessment of global design history.
The exhibition focuses on the boom of future orientation between the 1950s and 1980s. Thanks to technological progress, the future was suddenly calculable through systematised innovations.
All according to the associated narrative in post-war modernism, which is still valid today: technological progress promotes social prosperity promotes happiness for all.

In addition to futuristic interiors for hotels, airports or one's own home, the exhibition also shows examples of visual communication for sports competitions and festivals in urban spaces, as well as reconstructions of visionary architecture and cybernetic living spaces.

During the event period until the 16th July, a curator's guided tour will be offered every second Thursday.

Tickets cost €8, or €4 for discounted tickets.

And how does designing for AI-driven experiences differ from non ML-enhanced product development? In this conversation Amber shares her thoughts and outlook on a quickly changing work field embedded between strategy, creativity and technology.
