latency, or the so-called delay time, denotes the phenomenon, that something has already happened, but only appears at a later point in time. We have been exposed to various latencies, especially since the beginning of the pandemic. While we are still in the middle of the action and dealing with very tangible transmission delays in video conferences, the actual consequences of current decisions are only thrown on the wall as projections of the future.
The graduate school for moving images, who physically meets here for the first time, In her first exhibition she takes on the possible spaces of these latencies. Works can be seen in a hybrid exhibition setting, that revolve around sending and receiving, memory loss and virtual memory work, about intergenerational trauma transmission and the physical spaces of digital abstraction, hyper-monitored entertainment environments and virtual contacts.
In the Kassler Kunstverein, analog objects refer to digital spaces, in which artistic investigations of the present can be found in the direction of the future. The works shown project and speculate, what will be received with a delay.

The objects in the exhibition space refer to artistic works, which can be seen on the website latenzen.online developed for this purpose. Visitors can access the multimedia content via QR codes. You can use your own smartphone for this or borrow a tablet on site. You are welcome to bring your own headphones.
