25 of 78 – International Media Art from the Series HMKV Video of the Month 02.06.2020 — 20.09.2020

Workers are leaving the Googleplex, the racist English Defence League (EDL) is reinterpreted as "English Disco Lovers" and a worm reports from his life as right-wing click bait. Or: While Lenin is getting a traditional Thai massage, a superheroine is clearing a road in the wild North Caucasus, and an artificial intelligence is flying over snow-covered mountains. These are six of a total of 25 stories about clowns, animals, the New Right, mass and isolation, which are told in the exhibition 25 of 78.
