General Infomation
The main theme of FOTO WIEN 2025 is dynamic futures, an exploration of speculative future scenarios that address the impact of scientific and technological progress on society as seen through the lens of photography.
What visions of the future are revealed in historical and contemporary images of science and art? How do photography and post-digital technologies influence the way we imagine our future? What ethical and sociopolitical questions do digital and algorithmic images pose?
As a transdisciplinary testing ground between art, science, and technology, FOTO WIEN 2025 examines photography as a window to the future and offers a rich program of panels, artist talks, and workshops from October 3 to November 2, 2025.
