The exhibition is the result of the joint effort of the Hall of Arts and and the professional staff of the Julia Stosch Collection.

Entropy is determined degree of disorder in urban space and environment created through human intervention. The degree of entropy is high when disruptive events occur in the system , for example when, as Clemens von Wedemeyer 's video installation show it - when a museum is on fire. Eve if the process can be calculated, as in Francis Alys 's work , then we talk about a lower degree of entropy.

The Julia Stosch Collection is an international private collection of contemporary art made pubic in 2007 which mostly focuses on time-based media. A new selection of the collections is displayed every year in Düsseldorf - the Entropy of a City for example travels to the Kunsthalle in Karlsruhe after being shown in the Hall of Arts, the to the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie in ( ZKM ).

According to the principle of the Julia Stosch Collection, the material mostly consists of moving pictures be it slide, celluloid , DVD or Blu- ray.

26 works by 11 demonstrate multiple generations approach to art, including the young Swedish Klara Liden,l Robert Smithson's work from 1970.
