A virtual exhibition tour with artist Kyriaki Goni of her multimedia installation "Data Garden", followed by a live discussion between artist Kyriaki Goni (GR), Prodromos Tsiavos (GR) Head of Digital & Innovation at Onassis Foundation, and collaborators of the project. Would it be possible for our digital data to be hosted in a garden, in a secret network in the center of the city? Small, invisible plants (known under the scientific name micromeria acropolitana) are planted exclusively on the Acropolis rock and accommodate digital memory in their DNA. The artist creates her own data garden by combining fiction and science. Through drawings, prints, videos, sound pieces, and interviews with scientists from respective fields, the immersive installation Data Garden reveals the connections between digital memory and the climate crisis. Follow the virtual tour in the “garden” of Onassis Stegi Exhibition Hall and reflect on the limits of human intervention and activity in the environment. The exhibition is part of Ars Electronica 2020 “In Kepler's Gardens”. The virtual exhibition tour will be available online until 20.09.2020.
