Earth Lab – Artists as Catalysts

Red October chocolate factory, Moscow, Russia
June 22, 2016 – September 25, 2016

The Polytechnic Museum in Moscow commissioned Ars Electronica Linz to curate the “EARTH LAB – Artists as Catalysts” exhibition, a collection of artistic projects dealing with key issues pertaining to our planet. In it, museum visitors are called upon to act as researchers and travelers on a journey of discovery along a parcours consisting of infographic sequences and experimental arrays, many of them interactive. The exhibition will run from June 21-September 25, 2016 at the former Red October chocolate factory in Moscow. http://export.aec.at/earthlab/.

In an interview on the Ars Electronica Blog, the two curators, Natalia Fuchs and Manuela Naveau, brief us about this remarkable lab on the underground level of Moscow’s Red October chocolate factory.
