WRO 2017: Draft Systems
Overheated technological development considered at all stages has proven 
costly to the planet; barely established synergy is getting dissociated 
again, democracy as "best of the systems" seems to no longer be 
sustainable; we accept shaky, precarious and temporary positions; while 
seeking personalised alliances, we commit ourselves to loyalty towards 
communication procedures.

How does contemporary art reflect/express/imply these processes? How 
does artistic practice outline this changeable position framing it in a 
communication form — between installation and action, concept and 
artistic manifestation?

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

The previous edition of the Biennale — WRO 2015: Test Exposure — was 
held at ten sites around the city of Wrocław: museums, galleries, 
department store, new building of the University Library before its 
opening to the public, private flat and public space, where the works of 
over 250 artists were shown. The exhibitions, concerts, performances, 
video projections, installations and conferences were attended by over 
100,000 visitors.
