ABOUT
Screen City Biennial (SCB) is dedicated to the expanded moving image in public space, featuring artworks that explore the relationship between the moving image, sound, technology, and urban architecture. The Biennial was founded in 2015 and held its first editions in Stavanger, Norway. In 2022, it transcends the traditional spacetime biennale structure by proposing a multi-location model across cities and spanning an extended exhibition period.
The first chapter of Other Minds is centered at the Archenhold Observatory in Berlin, which is home to the longest movable refracting telescope on Earth. This optical tool was first activated in 1896 and still functions to this day. At this significant astronomical vantage point, the exhibition brings together the voices of various artists, whose work draws connections across layers of history, spacetimes, worldviews, and speculative narratives for the future.
Other locations include the Schering Stiftung, Treptower park, and a network of outdoor sites around Pariser Platz which embrace the urban landscape of the city.
The next chapter as a travelling biennial with satellite events, will be extended to several locations and cities, departing in Stavanger, Norway. It will continue the path looking at the medium of the moving image in an expanded fashion and occupying unconventional public spaces for the arts.

CURATED BY
Daniela Arriado
Daniela Arriado is a Chilean-Norwegian Curator and Producer. She holds an MA in Curatorial Studies from the Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, University of Bergen. Arriado is the founder of the Art Republic platform, located in Oslo and Berlin, and the producer behind Screen City Biennial, Kunst-TV, Son-AR and several public art commissions. Since 2013, she has been the artistic director of Screen City Biennial, leading four editions, consisting of an extended list of new commissions, public lectures and talk programs, screenings and online works.
Her curatorial research finds motivation in exploring present-day social, political, and ecological issues, and her projects often explore the relation between image, sound, and architecture—seeking to expand the borders of the cinematic experience. Passionate about nurturing new talents, as well as encouraging and developing the practice of established artists, she has initiated several cross-cultural and interdisciplinary partnerships and projects in the Nordic countries, Latin America, and Europe. Additionally, Arriado works as an advisor to artist studios, organizations, fairs and collections with a focus on contemporary moving images.
Arriado is a board member of IKT - International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art, and a member of The Norwegian Association of Curators.
Vanina Saracino
Vanina Saracino is an independent curator, writer, and lecturer. Her work focuses on theories and art practices that explicitly question anthropocentric and binary worldviews from an ecological perspective, with an emphasis on lens-based and time-based art practices. She is currently teaching at the Institute of Time-based Media at Universität der Künste (UdK, Berlin), with Prof. Nina Fischer, where she also moderated and contributed to the symposium “More-than-human perspectives and regenerative art practices toward climate justice,” in collaboration with the Climate Crisis Thinking Network, University of Oxford (2022).
Saracino has co-curated the group exhibition Tiger in Space at the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia (with Lea Vene and Marten Esko at EKKM, Tallinn, 2020) and the Screen City Biennial (with Daniela Arriado) on the topic Ecologies – lost, found and continued (2019), and edited the SCB Journal, Vol. 2. She has collaborated with Kumu Art Museum and EKKM (Tallinn, Estonia), Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi (Venice), TBA21 – Academy, Cinemateca Brasileira (São Paulo, BR), Cinemateca do MAM (Rio de Janeiro, BR), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Salzburger Kunstverein (Austria), The EYE Film Institute (Amsterdam, NL), and Centro Párraga (Murcia, SP) among others.
