“Interthinking” on Screen - M5’s Kunszt Highlights Our Exhibition

Aired in Kunszt on M5 on 17.02.2025, Edited by: László Merkl & Áron Palkó

We are pleased to share that Kunszt, the cultural program of M5, a Hungarian television channel, recently visited the Interthinking exhibition at Budapest Art Factory and featured it in their latest episode. The program explored the theme of waves and vibrations, presenting exhibitions that examine these phenomena from various artistic perspectives.

Artistic influences function similarly to waves—ideas and creative impulses originate from a single point and expand outward, influencing new thoughts and artistic directions. Some artists generate particularly strong waves of influence, which resonate with others and shape new artistic approaches. "Interthinking" examines this process, tracing connections between past and present artistic practices.

The exhibition celebrates the impact of Hungarian cultural heritage and artists on the international generative art scene. The title “Interthinking” is inspired by a concept from György Kepes that emphasizes collaboration between humans and technology and the dynamic relationship between art and science. The curatorial program pays tribute to Hungarian artists, such as László Moholy-Nagy, Victor Vasarely, Nicolas Schöffer, György Kepes, Vera Molnár, Brassaï, and André Kertész, who integrated technology into their work, shaping new directions and inspiring the conceptual foundation of the generative and AI art field. Visitors can explore the art of these pioneers through documentary films and artworks. The artworks were lent by Ferenc Offenbacher, founder and director of the Kepes Institute.

In addition to Hungarian historical figures, the show features works by seven international contemporary generative talents, including Iskra Velitchkova, Marcelo Soria-Rodríguez, Kevin Abosch, Laura Rautjoki, Mario Klingemann, Studio u2p050, and Julien Gachadoat. Each piece was created specifically for this exhibition and reflects on the themes and breakthroughs of these Hungarian masters.
