In Looking for Connections, we explore the fundamental importance of connection in our lives, communities, and societies. Through a wide range of different disciplines, including the use of AI, the artists featured in this show examine the complex and multifaceted ways in which connection shapes our world.
From the building blocks of technology to the intricate web of human relationships, connection is essential to our ability to collaborate, to build systems, to communicate, and to effect change. And yet, the nature of connection is often intangible - a thread that binds us together, but which we cannot always see or touch.
Through their works, the artists in this exhibition invite us to explore and reveal the invisible threads that connect us all. They challenge us to experiment with new ways of seeing and interacting with the world, and to build something meaningful from the fragments of our shared experiences.

Intermittent Continuity
Dance Performance by Libertad Esmeralda Iocco, concept by Carla Bertone.
Friday 26th, 6pm
Inhaling, exhaling, looking, blinking, one foot in the air and the other on the ground to move forward. We experience these small intervals permanently, spaces of uncertainty in a cycle that seems to be continuous. Yet we do not perceive them at all. What happens in these subtle interstices that break the continuity?
Poetry Slam by Kacper Max Lubiewski
Sunday 28th, 5 pm
Hilbertraum is calling for upcoming poets to join us in an open poetry reading event organized as part of the NAME exhibition. We are looking for stories which deal with connection, be it relationships with nature, places, events or other people. If you’d like to participate, get in touch with @kmlubiewski and send some of your works.
