Still Unstable – 45 Years of V2_
For 45 years, V2 has been a space where artists, researchers and technologists come together to question, explore and experiment with emerging technologies. To mark this anniversary, V2 presents Still Unstable: a programme of exhibitions, talks, interviews and live performances exploring the hidden systems that shape technological innovation today.
Rather than looking back, Still Unstable looks ahead. In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, algorithms and digital infrastructures, the programme asks what remains unseen: the labour, resources, ecologies and power structures behind contemporary technologies, and how artistic practice can make these visible.
Exhibition
24 September – 18 October 2026
The exhibition brings together works by Rosa Menkman, Aram Bartholl, Anna Ehrenstein, Kaisa Molga, Morehshin Allahyari, knowbotiq and more to be announced. Through installations, moving image and artistic research, the participating artists examine the infrastructures, relationships and systems that underpin today's technological landscape.
Unstable Talks & Interviews
24–26 September 2026
Alongside the exhibition, Still Unstable presents three days of talks, artist talks and interviews reflecting on 45 years of media art and the challenges of contemporary technological culture.
Confirmed speakers include Andreas Broeckmann, Annet Dekker and Marijn Bril. Interviews feature Joost Rekveld, Gökay Atabek and Rosa Menkman.
