Hito Steyerl
About the Event
Humanity Had the Bullet Go In Through One Ear and Out Through the Other
Berlin-based artist, film maker, and author Hito Steyerl highlights social processes evoked by latest technology and develops interdisciplinary works in the focus of fine arts.
At the same time, she analyses the interpretation of reality and illuminates the socio-political relevance of current discussions. In her first solo exhibition in Vienna titled Der Menschheit ist die Kugel bei einem Ohr hinein und beim anderen herausgeflogen [Humanity Had the Bullet Go In Through One Ear and Out Through the Other] (by Karl Kraus, Nachts [At Night], 1918), Steyerl uncovers the structures of political dimensions in everyday and pop culture. Two works are contrasted: The multimedia installation Hell Yeah We Fuck Die (2016) that in its title draws on words that were, according to Billboard magazine, most commonly used in the English-speaking music charts in the 2010s and seem to reflect a kind of crisis mood. In a new video installation (2025), Hito Steyerl analyzes cross-genre developments of artificial intelligence (AI).
