Description: Based on the omnipresent term 'Industry 4.0', the publication #material4.0 reflects the interplay between the virtual world and the physical-real space. As part of the recent exhibition at Galerie Stadt Sindelfingen, thirteen international artists, mostly 'digital natives', examine how computer-dependent automation and digitalization are reflected in an art context. How does art output change from production to the aesthetic? How is this kind of media used in posing artistic questions? The positions of digital art pioneers fill us in. The publication documents the exhibition with numerous illustrations of works and a collection of complementary texts.
