Plásmata: Bodies, Dreams, & Data
Onassis Stegi returns to Pedion tou Areos with “Plásmata: Bodies, Dreams, and Data” – a large-scale digital art exhibition exploring the body in all its forms: human, non-human, collective, and planetary. Until July 10, visitors can experience 25 international artworks, an artificial moon powered by solar batteries, and a glowing 22-meter red planet that highlights urgent questions around identity, technology, and the future of our world.

Following last year’s “You and AI”, this exhibition takes a new route through lesser-known corners of the park. Starting from the statue of King Constantine I and stretching to the Alsos Theater, “Plásmata” encourages exploration, curiosity, and reflection. Visitors will encounter mirrored techno-temples, LED works, digital pavilions, a humanoid dispensing medicine in an abandoned pharmacy, and dreamlike projections by disembodied AIs.

The exhibition poses powerful questions:
  • What kind of bodies do machines imagine?

  • Where does the digital self begin and the physical one end?

  • How do disability, gender, and labor intersect in the digital age?

  • What happens when technology reshapes our identity—or our planet?

Once a military ground, now a collective urban space, Pedion tou Areos becomes the perfect backdrop to rethink the body as a site of politics, pleasure, pain, and possibility. “Plásmata” invites us to get lost—and found—through its surreal, thought-provoking journey into what we are and what we’re becoming.
