Owe Me Everything – Manja Ebert

“Our present day impressively demonstrates how social media shapes our perception of the world around us – whether in terms of elections, news, knowledge or opinion-making. In her solo exhibition, Manja Ebert shows a selection of current works in which visitors are confronted with their own online usage behavior and the mechanisms of the media of our time are revealed. Manja Ebert’s sculptural media installations deal with current technologies and social platforms on the Internet, which she artistically analyzes and transforms into interactive work experiences. The focus is on self-generation through digital technologies and the playful combination of surveillance techniques and communication media used by various platforms for further data collection. In her artistic practice, Ebert often uses found footage to visualize the interdependencies between online and offline worlds. Her works critically analyze the structures of social networks and the invisible processes that control our behavior online – from algorithms to artificial intelligence. …” (translated with the free version of www.deepl.com/translator)
