Electrohype 2008 will be the fifth biennial for computer based and technological art. The exhibition will give an updated picture of the scene for newly created electronic art by presenting 14 works by 10 international artists.

Electrohype 2008 will present work by the following artists:

Doug Back, Canada
Ralf Baecker, Germany
Kerstin Ergenzinger, Germany
Serina Erfjord, Norway
Jessica Field, Canada
Voldemars Johansons, Latvia
Diane Morin, Canada
Kristoffer Myskja, Norway
Erik Olofsen, Netherlands
Bill Vorn, Canada

The biennial holds a common theme about time and ongoing processes. In the exhibition the viewer invites to experience works that are independent machines slowly working in a methodical way, alongside with objects that are animated with, for example, motors and lights and yet others controlled via mathematical rules. Other works show on a change in our perception of time or of our physical existence.

The first exhibition of Nordic and international computer based art was presented in Malmö in 2000. Since then, the exhibition has grown into an established biennial. The previous biennial was held in 2006 at Lund Konsthall. The biennial has been presented before at Malmö Konsthall in the winter of 2004 – 2005, when it was the third in the series.
