Living Errors Exhibition at MARTINETZ Gallery Explores Hybrid Beings Through Art, Biology, and Technology

exhibition · 2026-04-20

The MARTINETZ gallery in Cologne is showcasing LIVING ERRORS, an interdisciplinary exhibition featuring the works of Katja Novitskova, Eva Papamargariti, and Mary-Audrey Ramirez. This exhibition delves into hybrid entities that merge art, biology, ecology, and technology, challenging traditional binary classifications. Novitskova creates cultural fossils using scientific data on synthetic clay plates. Meanwhile, Papamargariti produces digital hybrid forms through ceramics and moving images, and Ramirez designs creatures in digital environments before bringing them to life with 3D printing, drawing inspiration from gaming and pop culture. LIVING ERRORS presents errors as opportunities for transformation, encouraging audiences to appreciate imperfections and view non-human elements as potential rather than threats.
