The aim of the WRO 2015 Biennale is to give exposure to new media art experiments, individual explorations and approaches investigating the potential of art both to affect and to reflect emerging issues in culture.

16th Media Art Biennale WRO 2015

 Test Exposure

13 May – 5 September, 2015
Opening Events: 13 May – 17 May, 2105

Nearly 2500 works have been submitted by artists from 80 countries, including a large number of submissions from Asia, South America, Africa and the Middle East, in addition to every country in Europe.

The submitted works are extremely diverse when it comes to genres, subjects, media and the level of production. They present a broad spectrum of current artistic uses of digital media, and a range of artistic responses to the phenomena of the technosphere and contemporary medialized reality. The submitted works include videos, multi-channel projections, installations, objects, a plethora of interactive, robotic and net-based productions, multimedia projects that defy easy classification, and a wide variety of live action, performances and audiovisual concerts.

The main WRO 2015 exhibitions will run through June 30th in multiple venues, including the new library building of the University of Wrocław (which will be opened to the public for the first time), the National Museum, the Renoma shopping center, the WRO Art Center, WRO Atelier and private apartments.

The WRO 2015 TEST EXPOSURE exhibitions, retrospectives and presentations will run through September 2015.
