The Exhibition

Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK)

The KABK students increasingly explore the intersection between the physical and the virtual worlds. Their experimental mentality leads them to investigate the diversity of new techniques and production processes and to critically reflect on them. Experience the boundary where these worlds meet through multidisciplinary installations, live performances and objects, and see how this boundary plays a role in the students’ decision-making during the research process.
