The group show NOT BY DEFAULT invites young artists from Berlin whose work refers to the Internet as the centre of digital culture as such. They all represent the generation of 'digital natives' and produce their art within the context of an online community, where the net serves both as a source of inspiration as well as the medium of presentation. The term 'Post Internet Art' was chosen for this exhibition in order to describe a new era in which especially those who grew up with the Internet reflect on the implications and habits of a digital culture, by applying these habits against the grain - NOT BY DEFAULT - thus revealing new perspectives. This kind of art is not restricted to digital formats, but expands into space, is haptic, political, pushing out of the gallery into the city, into society.
