An exhibition about revolutionary inventions and life in a digital world.

The exhibition “Digital Revolution” is a project lead by the Museum of Electronic Games & Art in cooperation with SAP. During the exhibition, curated by Canan Hastik, 15 groundbreaking exhibits in computerisation will be shown.

Experience digital technology, culture and art

Progress in computer technology and digitalisation generated radical change and transition in all areas of life. In many aspects the digital revolution, triggered by the invention of the microchip, still continues today. The technology is not only a work tool and toy for artists it is also a medium of personal use.

Within this framework the exhibition concept ties into the history of SAP. Parallel to milestones in SAP development exhibits of diverse platforms from the last four decades will be shown and staged. An area of the exhibition equipped with functional and playable exhibits offers visitors a comprehensive approach to individual prominent accomplishments
