Basel’s HEK Celebrates Artists as Tool and Change Makers

Basel’s House of Electronic Arts (HEK) opens “Tools for Change,” an international group exhibition arguing that “artists have always been more than mere users of technology.” Curator Julia Kaganskiy considers Tega Brain, Heather Dewey-Hagborg, Fragmentin, Mary Maggic, Caroline Sinders, Superflux, Alice Yuan Zhang and others as inventors of “tools for conviviality” (Ivan Illich). These tools, both as software and social structures, “create alternative visions by emphasising access, creativity, justice, and interdependence.”
