Museion presents TECHNO, the first installation of TECHNO HUMANITIES, a long-term program that involves all spaces, aspects and members of the institution. Collecting themes that emerged from the confrontation between humanity, ecology, technology and economy, TECHNO includes an international collective that will occupy the entire Museion building, a public program, a day rave and the TECHNO Reader - an anthology of commissioned critical texts on techno and globalization.

Articulated through three themes - Freedom, Compression and Exhaustion - the exhibition places the techno experience at the center of the scene, adopting it as a lens through which to capture a contemporary human condition and a social order. Museion invites an international group of artists, thinkers and producers to explore how cultural phenomena related to techno have intertwined with the ways in which we live our identities today. By matching the techno mainstreaming of the mid-1980s with the geopolitical processes and economic advances of the time, TECHNO considers the music genre outside its subcultural definition. The ongoing pandemic has become a surprising metaphor for globalization, also shedding new light on the multibillion-dollar techno music industry, revealing comparable aspects of systemic injustice, exploitation and neglect. TECHNO can be seen as a call to action to break the status quo and expose social change.
