What is not so pandemic in our time?

When you consider that 40 years ago just as many people populated our planet as now own and use a smartphone, you can’t help but be amazed. 4 billion! The amount of data that results from this is astronomical!
And what does that do to us as a society? How much is our togetherness shaped by chats, PNs, uploads and downloads? And how is this reflected above all in the urban image, where most people are out and about with their eyes fixed on the small, fine handheld device?
In the Villa Claudia of the KunstVorarlberg Forum für aktuelle Kunst, works by Rainer Wolf can be seen in which he deals with this pandemic appearance of our society and puts it into the picture artistically. In doing so, he uses the means of painting and drawing in portraits to examine how the smartphone has taken its place.
