Exhibition description:

Hybrid Futures: Rhizomes, Meshworks and Alter-Ecologies

Hybrid Futures: Rhizomes, Meshworks and Alter-Ecologies marks Elektron’s return to the public space of Esch-sur-Alzette with an exhibition that questions the porous boundaries between the living and the technological. This is the second public art exhibition by Elektron—a Luxembourg based cultural platform dedicated to nurturing digital art—and it will open on 17 May (with a preview on 16 May), running until 26 July.
Rooted in contemporary philosophical thought, the exhibition unfolds the concept of rhizome theorized by Deleuze and Guattari – this non-hierarchical and multidirectional underground structure, like ginger roots that spread without a defined centre. It is also enriched by the concept of meshwork developed by anthropologist Tim Ingold, which describes the intertwined trajectories that all living beings trace in their environment.

Through these theoretical prisms, Hybrid Futures transcends the artificial separation between nature and technology to reveal their fundamental interweaving and reciprocal influences.
The exhibition invites the public to perceive these complex systems not as distinct entities but as interdependent networks in constant mutation, generating new forms of experience, knowledge, and coexistence. Disseminated across strategic sites in Esch-sur-Alzette and Esch Belval, this constellation of works brings together visionary artists whose creations, at the confluence of art and emerging technologies, sketch the contours of alternative ecologies for our transforming world.
