CYFEST 15: Vulnerability exhibition explores the multifaceted nature of vulnerability, examining its impact on ecosystems, memory, the (anti)fragility of human and non-human bodies, and the intricate intersections of biological, social, and cyberspaces. The exhibition features a diverse range of artworks, ranging from digital and multimedia to painting, that explore future scenarios, our evolving relationship with the world, and the delicate balance between the natural and technological realms. From the fragility of aging media art to the dynamic equilibrium within ecosystems, these works offer thought-provoking perspectives on vulnerability and its implications for our future.
