Space for Kids is a continuously evolving and interactive exhibition format that aims to meet the needs and perspectives of children, while also offering adults a fascinating and participatory frame of reference. For its fourth edition, Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz is transformed into an artistic research laboratory. Visitors to the exhibition can playfully discover new perspectives on our environment in different workshops based on various artistic methods together with the invited artists from The Golden Pixel Cooperative.

We are constantly surrounded by photos of different environments: depictions of crystal-clear lakes, images of dunes and snapshots of traffic congested streets wander across our screens. But where are these images stored? How do they reach us? What is their ecological footprint? In a setting that interweaves analogue and digital media, visions for a more ecological future are jointly developed – artistically and discursively. Footprints in a sea of data is a continuation of the project Techno Scapes, which was first presented at Supergau Festival in May 2021
