Hyperstition refers to ideas whose expression releases such vibrations that they ultimately realise themselves, similar to a self-fulfilling prophecy. The term was first coined in the 1990s by the interdisciplinary collective Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) in the UK, whose members published their findings mainly on blogs on the internet.

The Israeli Holocaust remembrance centre Yad Vashem is showing its much admired exhibition Flashes of Memory,which was first displayed in January 2018 in Jerusalem. It presents a critical account of visual documentation – both photographs and films – created during the Holocaust by German and Jewish photographers, as well as by members of the Allied forces during liberation.

until 27.08. Ufo 1665. Die Luftschlacht von Stralsund. painting–drawing Repro Darstellung eines fantastischen Luftschiffs aus dem Hochzeitsfest Kaiser Leopolds I., Illustration aus: Sieg-Streit deß Lufft und Wassers Freuden-Fest, Wien, 1667, Photo: © Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Kunstbibliothek
In April 1665, six fishermen witnessed an aerial battle in the skies above the Baltic Sea near Stralsund. As evening broke, a dark-grey disk appeared high above the city centre. With reference to contemporaneous visual and textual sources, this exhibition reconstructs the way this event was portrayed in the media over the years.

Großes Kino – we’re talking about cinema with a capital C, about motion pictures that leave you feeling overwhelmed or in awe. A good movie poster, too, is designed to be remembered: it captures the film’s mood, alludes to storylines, evokes feelings. The drama and narrative of a long film are condensed into a single image. The exhibition "Großes Kino" presents around 100 original movie posters from the 1900s through to the 2020s from the Kunstbibliothek’s collection of graphic design.
