OGR Torino, the hub of Fondazione CRT, opens three new international exhibitions at the intersection of art and technology, reaffirming its role as a centre for cross-disciplinary production, research and experimentation.

From 31 October 2025, during the Turin Art Week, OGR presents Laure Prouvost. WE FELT A STAR DYING, ELECTRIC DREAMS. Art & Technology Before the Internet and Erzë Dinarama. DRUMMING FOR LOVE: three projects that, through different languages and perspectives, explore the connections between creativity and technology, between artistic vision and scientific thought, outlining a shared horizon in which art becomes a tool for knowledge and cultural transformation.

“In Fondazione CRT’s vision, OGR Torino was conceived as a hub where culture and innovation meet to reinterpret the past and project its heritage into the future, positioning Turin on the global map as a point of reference at the intersection of art and technology”, states Anna Maria Poggi, President of Fondazione CRT. “The new exhibitions, developed in collaboration with leading international institutions, confirm OGR Torino’s role as a centre of excellence and innovation rooted in the community, capable of generating knowledge and wonder. With the same spirit, Fondazione CRT invests in culture as a driving force for development, laying the foundations for a shared heritage that evolves, renews itself and creates social, educational and economic value”.

“At OGR, every project is conceived with the aim of creating experiences of discovery and participation that are open and accessible to everyone. With these new exhibitions, we are strengthening our role as a cross-disciplinary laboratory, where art and technology meet to explore the transformations of the present. By encouraging dialogue between creativity and innovation, between artists and scientists, we open up new fields of inquiry and nurture collective imagination and communities capable of reflecting on the future”, affirms Davide Canavesio, President of OGR Torino.

The exhibition Laure Prouvost. WE FELT A STAR DYING, commissioned by LAS Art Foundation and co-commissioned by OGR Torino, curated for LAS by Carly Whitefield and for OGR by Samuele Piazza, was first presented in February 2025 at Kraftwerk in Berlin. It now arrives at the monumental Binario 1 in a new configuration that interacts with the venue’s architecture and history. On view until 10 May 2026, the installation – the brainchild of the artist, philosopher Tobias Rees and scientist Hartmut Neven, founder of Google Quantum AI – explores quantum computing through a multisensory experience of images, sounds and scents.

ELECTRIC DREAMS. Art & Technology Before the Internet, organised by Tate Modern and OGR Torino and curated by Val Ravaglia and Samuele Piazza, opens at Binario 2 and will be on view until 10 May 2026. The exhibition retraces more than forty years of artistic experimentation at the intersection of visual art and technology, before the widespread adoption of the Internet, through the work of artists who explored technological modernity by appropriating tools originally developed in military or corporate contexts to redefine collective imaginaries and stimulate critical awareness.

Erzë Dinarama. DRUMMING FOR LOVE, an installation commissioned by OGR Torino in the frame of S+T+ARTS4WaterII project, will be open to the public from 31 October to 2 November 2025 at Binario 3. Erzë Dinarama, artist-in-residence at OGR Torino for the European Union–funded project S+T+ARTS4WaterII, presents the outcome of her research on the Po River: a data-visualisation installation intertwining the micro-histories of river communities with environmental data collected working with local organisations including Alpstream, Orti Generali, Fondazione Santagata and VisoaViso. The work reflects the intersection of culture and technology, transforming data into a visual and sonic narrative on the fragility and resilience of the river.

At OGR’s Corte Est, Mummer Love – a project made possible by Fondazione CRT for the 28th edition of Luci d’Artista – will remain on view until 11 January 2026. Created by Soundwalk Collective with Patti Smith and Philip Glass, the work invites the public to a sensory immersion in the poetic world of Arthur Rimbaud, transforming the industrial architecture into a resonant chamber for the soul through a journey of images, sounds and words.

Each project approaches the relationship between art and technology from its own specific perspective, using it as a means to imagine and reflect on the contemporary world. From the historical overview of ELECTRIC DREAMS, which revisits the origins of electronic art at the dawn of the digital age, to the sensory and poetic dimension of WE FELT A STAR DYING by Laure Prouvost, and through to the ecological reflection of DRUMMING FOR LOVE by Erzë Dinarama, the exhibitions trace a path through decades of artistic experimentation while bringing together diverse fields, generations and perspectives, revealing the complexity of the present through the gaze of art.
