Experimental Publishing Partner for the Technosphere Project, 2014-2018, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin. Image and text-based video and custom coded video/text interface as continent Issue 6.3 / 2017. The emergence of the Technosphere through planetary-scale technologies continues to be manifested only through its points of condensation, that is, as objects of our everyday. (1948) The publishing collective continent. presents their latest issue on the Technosphere, this time entirely realised as a video, continuing a project “to lose all words all together”. notions, visions and intuitions picked up through interviews and awareness at the last technosphere knowledge campus, the work started where traditional interview, editing and omission process ends and creates an associative bridge to the 1948 Technosphere inflection point.
Artist talk at Klasse für Ortsbezogene Kunst, Universität für Angewandte Kunst Wien. Institutions are an ambiguous subject. Some despise them for abuse of power or dominance over free will and choice, others rely on them to save us from corporate harm or social demise.
Open between November and December of 2015, the Supergood Concept Store hosted a program of performances and workshops, while also operating as a speakeasy superfood bar. This opened up an ambiguous space between product and performance, animating notions of self-optimization, body politics, and postcolonial smoothie cultures.
Artist-run research and teaching have long been the source of transformative potentials and radical rethinkings of how communities can be, work and act together, as distributed, collective, synchronic, autonomous and connective. These communities support and cultivate the knowledge practices of curious people – artists, researchers, designers; thinkers and makers, activists; administrators, activators and organizers. In our current moment, such communities, if they are operational, are by default both digital and real, streamable and graspable. The very existence and prolonged discourse around such communities directly affirms the need for new forms of encounter between people, producers and audiences. We always need to co-create new potentials and formats for discussing, presenting, learning, sharing – knowing – as well via critical reflection on the media and the technological conditions that allow us to work together. For Coded Cultures: Openism, the publishing collective continent. assembles a programme of experimental and experiential, erkenntnis-oriented encounters where people driven by curiosity toward modes of friendship and scholarship support each other in their matters of concern – personal and professional intents forever colliding in "Open Scenarios for Non-Trivial Pursuits".
