This exhibition presents the outcome of a collaboration between Carsten Nicolai and Marko Peljhan, two artists who continue to operate on the international stage, showcasing new m ethods of environmental observation based on the latest information technology, and at once introducing resulting new perspectives on human existence and the environment in the form of a newly conceived installation (commissioned by YCAM). The piece "polar" (2000) that inspired this exhibition in the first place was an internationally acclaimed project, the much-expected sequel to which, adopting the general concept, now finally materializes after a hiatus of ten years. With a focus on "radiation data" as a way of exploring the new level that computerization has reached in society today, this never previously experienced installation is an elaborate audio- visual reflection on the various forms and occasions of exposure to radioactive rays, including the visitor's experience of the installation itself. Please find attached detailed information on a press preview, reception and opening event with the attendance of the artists. We would like to invite you to this special occasion, and sincerely hope you will find the time to attend.
