The era (aka Earth Recharging Association) of cognitive automation came into being. This cognitive mutation dissolved the relation between consciousness, politics, and freedom.

The international exhibition Beyond the Sound presents a contemporary approach to the specific and lively artistic field of sound art. Sound is presented not as an independent aesthetic form, but as a medium used to explore and reveal phenomena that are often unrecognisable to the eye.
