Deichtorhallen Hamburg Launches Third Viral Hallucinations Publication on Digital Protest Imagery
Deichtorhallen Hamburg has just launched the third edition of its free publication series, Viral Hallucinations. This latest issue, curated by Nadine Isabelle Henrich, delves into photographic images and their algorithmic counterparts. The goal is to create critical approaches for archiving and discussing contemporary digital visuals. This release aligns with the ongoing discourse for the exhibition Philip Montgomery—American Cycles, which Henrich is also curating. Since it started in 2024, Viral Hallucinations has featured various activities like workshops and performances. It aims to lay the groundwork for the upcoming Center of Visual Media at Deichtorhallen Hamburg, which is expected to open a dedicated space in Winter 2027. You can find the publication in both print and online formats, complete with an enhanced audio commentary.
