Why Now? Since the beginning of the pandemic, the present has become overly present. It stands in our way, blocking the visionary, dreamy look of the future. The idea for the “Expeditions into the Now” comes out of this particular situation. These are ideas and projects that were developed by students and teachers from the Kunstuniversität Linz that were shown in an exhibition parcours through downtown Linz on 30.04.2021.
The corporate design of the exhibition was created by Jessica Bernhart, Johanna Kerschensteiner and Maria Strieder. The “Now” is perceived by humans as two to three seconds. This idea is reflected in the logo. The pop-up-windows suggest life in the digital world, as the analogue one has become inaccessible due to Covid. Arrows guide us the way into the “Now” and hopefully lead to a rosier, maybe pink, future.
The exhibition was also recorded and documented in the NOW Newspaper and on now.ufg.at.
