The view in this exhibition focuses on the people and its immediate built environment: works fine arts in dialogue with objects of art. To what extent art is in the hardware addition of a home computer - and anyway, what analogies and parallels between art and computer technology are as downstream? In the centrifuge, a nonprofit association of "centrifuge - Communication, Arts and Culture" exhibition hall operated on AEG (
www.aufaeg.de
) in Nuremberg, presented to the collector Wilfried Appelt an unusual, highly subjective compilation of his collection: Examples of the development of mechanical calculators to to the early days of home computers take on selected works of contemporary fine art. Only at first glance incompatible areas connect to each other in living relationship: technology and inventions of the first industrially-produced mechanical calculators of the 19 Century up to Konrad Zuse (the inventor of the computer, here as a painter), visual comments and ideas from Peter Angermann to Reiner Zitta as excerpts from a who's who of the Frankish art scene.
It is at this exhibition to the aesthetic relationship between thought and use, of thinking and tools - in the end to the emotional appeal of the mechanical idea. An exhibition of works by:
Werner Alt, Peter Angermann, Reiner Bergmann, Bodo floor, Kevin Coyne, Cornelia Effner, Peter Engel, Harry Frey, Peter Hammer, Jan Eric Hauber, Anette Husch-Weinberg, Alfonso Janke, Thomas Kapielski, Johannes Kersting, Werner Knaupp, Anne Meindl, Andreas Oehlert , Gerlinde Pistner, Eva von Platen, Dan Reeder, Marcus Renner, Hans Peter Reuter, Gerhard Rießbeck, Wolf Sakowski, Harri Schemm, Renate Selle, Nick, Anne Sterzenbach, Johann Sturcz, Franz Vornberger, Fredde Wanoth, Thomas Wrede, Julia Wiedemann, Reiner Zitta , Konrad Zuse

The art collectors and Wilfried Renate (†) Appelt Appelt
Wilfred and his wife Renate, now deceased, had for decades an enthusiastic art collectors. They gathered with their own individual preferences and knowledge they gained from love, out of spite, out of emotion, curiosity, enthusiasm, out of admiration. Much is, what then was virtually ignored over the years and matured in value. In art, the collection Appelt now a who's who to offer the Frankish art scene - including works by Hans-Peter Reuter, Franz Vornberger, Clemens Heinl, Harri Schemm, Peter Hammer, Michael Munding, Werner Knaupp, Otmar Hörl and Peter Angermann. In addition, Renate Appelt also collected over several decades, porcelain figures, while Wilfried Appelt enthusiasm for computers.
