Beschreibung

Based on our discussions from the winter semester - examples of contracts in the art world, clearly expressed and hidden consents, agreements, contracts in everyday life and context, materiality, narrations behind the chosen examples – we will continue our work.

The focus this semester will be on individual artistic positions and their specific questions; both the individual artistic works as the works created as part CDCLab annual projects. Within the framework of the CDCLab this course offers space and time to develop, test, translate and present artistic strategies in close connection with the CDCLab annual project.

How can we create knowledge, create meaning or change meaning by using existing material? How is our behavior shaped by visible or invisible agreements? How do algorithms and automated processing influence our decision making?

“I might have sent something to you from my phone. See it spreading. See it become invaded by other sequences, many sequences, see it being re-montaged, rearticulated, reedited. Let’s merge and rip apart our scenarios of occupation. Break continuity. Juxtapose. Edit in parallel. Jump the axe. Build suspense. Pause. Countershoot. Keep chasing spring.

These are our territories of occupation, forcefully kept apart from each other, each in his and her own corporate enclosure. Let’s reedit them. Rebuild. Rearrange. Wreck. Articulate. Alienate. Unfreeze. Accelerate. Inhabit. Occupy.”

(Hito Steyerl, in “Art as an Occupation: Claims for an Autonomy of Life”, The Wretched of the Screen, SternbergPress, 2012. P.118)
