Shimmer: Dreaming the Posthuman features 16 artists, including Marina Zurkow, working with both analog and emergent technologies to visualize the interrelationship between humanity, other species, and the earth itself. Using media such as digital animation, augmented and virtual reality, and artificial intelligence, artists challenge the view of human exceptionalism that prevents an ethics of care for the planet. Like the surrealists, these artists tap into the transformative agency of the marvelous, the uncanny, and the unpredictable. In their fluid and floating creations, images morph, flicker, and dance, forming psychologically charged archetypes within a new collective unconscious.

Video Craft explores the formal and technical properties that video, film, and early moving image technologies share with more traditional craft media like ceramics, textiles, and glass. It brings together artists at different stages of their careers, from early pioneers of video production to emerging digital natives, and illustrates an unlikely partnership between the heavily embodied practices of craft and the ephemeral nature of the screen.

Pixel Pioneers is the first major exhibition of Museum Boijman Van Beuningen devoted entirely to digital art. Spread across two galleries in the Depot, the exhibition traces how artists have used digital technologies to experiment, critique, and reshape visual culture over the past decades. Claudia Hart (b. 1955, US) contributes an immersive installation that reimagines failed cryptocurrencies as the ruins of a technological empire, exploring how digital systems shape belief and value.
