What does eroticism mean in times of technologization? What role do the sensual properties of new materials play in their development? Does the sensual level become less and less important when it comes to materials, which are developed for the implementation of technical high performance? Or, to put it differently: do materials that stem from technical codes and respond to interaction and stimulation as we do experience sensual moments? These and other questions are being studied in a laboratory set-up that will be expanded over the course of the exhibition.
