The exhibition “Scraps of the Untainted Sky” engages with the venue’s distinctive architecture, drawing inspiration from E.M. Forster’s 1909 science fiction short story The Machine Stops. This visionary story foreshadowed today’s information society and its media-driven reality. The exhibition explores increasingly relevant modern challenges: individual isolation, the lack of physical encounters, and social interaction shifting into the virtual realm.
