WRO 2019: Human Aspect

Structures of continually increasing capacities, artificial intelligence 
environments, power and knowledge which trigger self-propelling 
relationships within vast networks, natural and artificial lives, and 
non-human cognitive perspectives locate the human aspect in novel 
contexts. In how far is the human aspect subject to technology? To what 
degree and from what viewpoint is the human aspect autonomous, 
unpredictable, faulty, creative?

WRO Biennale: about

The WRO Media Art Biennale is the major forum for media art in Poland 
and one of the leading international contemporary art events in 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 forming a critical perspective of 
emerging issues in culture, art, society, technology, and humanities.

Featuring works of over 120 artists, the previous edition of the 
Biennale — WRO 2017: Draft Systems — was held at 17 different venues 
across the city of Wroclaw: museums, galleries, department stores, 
historical spaces—both abandoned and restored—and various public spaces. 
The main program of the 2017 WRO Biennale was followed by two large 
exhibitions in Warsaw, and an intensive WRO on Tour program of traveling 
screenings. The exhibitions, concerts, performances, video screenings, 
and conferences were attended by over 100,000 visitors.

The WRO 2017 catalogue is available online.
