The WRO Media Art Biennale is the major forum for new media art in
Poland, and one of the leading international art events in Central
Europe. Since its inception in 1989, WRO has been presenting art forms
created using new media for artistic expression and communication,
exploring current creative territories and building a critical
perspective toward emerging issues in art, technology and society.

The 2011 edition of the WRO Biennale, ALTERNATIVE NOW, was held at
eleven sites around Wrocław—museums, galleries, cinemas, old factory
halls and public space, where the works of over 200 artists were shown.
The exhibitions, concerts, performances, video projections,
installations and conferences were attended by 800 accredited guests and 
over 40,000 visitors.

WRO 2013: PIONEERING VALUES

The theme of the WRO 2013 Biennale, marking the 50th anniversary of
electronic art, will be the artistic and cultural values that have
emerged—and are still emerging—from new media art.

During the WRO 2013 Biennale, titled PIONEERING VALUES, we want to
present current works that deal with the relations between new media art 
and the ubiquitous cultural creativity that surrounds it, taking
innovative approaches to the intellectual challenges and demands of our
era. WRO 2013 PIONEERING VALUES will highlight new visions that allude
to the past, distill the present and offer intuitive glimpses of the future.
