From October 31, 2025, on the occasion of Torino Art Week, OGR Turin, the innovation hub of the Fondazione CRT, inaugurates three major international exhibitions that explore the intersection between art and technology, reaffirming its role as a center for interdisciplinary research and experimentation.
The exhibitions — Laure Prouvost. WE FELT A STAR DYING, ELECTRIC DREAMS. Art & Technology Before the Internet, and Erzë Dinarama. DRUMMING FOR LOVE — present distinct perspectives on the dialogue between creativity and science, showing how contemporary art continues to shape our understanding of innovation and the future.
“OGR were conceived as a hub where culture and innovation meet,” said Anna Maria Poggi, President of the Fondazione CRT. “Through these projects, we position Turin on the global map as a reference point where art and technology converge.”
In Binario 1, WE FELT A STAR DYING by Laure Prouvost — co-commissioned by LAS Art Foundation and OGR Turin — is an immersive installation that delves into the paradoxical logic of quantum physics and its poetic potential. Created in collaboration with philosopher Tobias Rees and scientist Hartmut Neven, founder of Google Quantum AI, the work transforms quantum uncertainty into an experience of sound, light, and scent, turning scientific instability into creative energy.
In Binario 2, ELECTRIC DREAMS. Art & Technology Before the Internet — organized by Tate Modern and OGR Turin, curated by Val Ravaglia and Samuele Piazza — revisits forty years of artistic experimentation from the 1950s to the 1990s. The exhibition traces the origins of electronic and cybernetic art, when pioneering artists used early technologies from industrial and military contexts to challenge the boundaries of perception and communication.
In Binario 3, artist-in-residence Erzë Dinarama presents DRUMMING FOR LOVE, a new installation developed within the S+T+ARTS4WaterII program, funded by the European Union. The work stems from research along the Po River, combining environmental data, field recordings, and community stories in a data-visualization piece that reflects on fragility, ecology, and resilience.
“At OGR every project aims to foster discovery, dialogue, and participation,” said Davide Canavesio, President of OGR Turin. “These exhibitions confirm our mission as a multidisciplinary laboratory where art and technology meet to explore the transformations of our time.”
Running until May 10, 2026, the three exhibitions transform Turin’s former railway workshops into a vast observatory of global artistic innovation — a place where imagination and technology merge to shape new ways of seeing and understanding the world.
