The exhibition Systems of Belief establishes unique relationships between faith, spirituality and technology. Artistic approaches from the 1960s also play a role in this vision. But where are the connecting lines to the present and how can alternative forms of belief be better understood? 

Cathrin Mayer — the curator of the exhibition — accompanies us today through the art parcours and provides exciting background information on her curatorial practice and the diverse elements of the theme. How does technology come into play here, how can it be used artistically in a resistant way? And what alternative forms of belief does the exhibition talk about?
