Description

CONCEPTION OF SYS – THE SMELL OF A MYTHOLOGICAL BEING - Temporary Voting Booth at Trang Art Festival 2025 28.02. - 02.03.2025 THE SYS (they / them) A mythological and at the same time contemporary real being, a person who has developed ‘system awareness’ and is very much at home in a complex and challenging, constantly changing world – and enjoys it. An embodiment that copes with multiple developments and crises in the socio-, eco- and techno-sphere, and gets along with a wide variety of people and entities and contributes to the well-being of all beings. The SYS is a being that shows great joie de vivre and ­resilience. They are a fully ‘embodied’ being. They celebrate their body, they perceive very intensely with all their senses and trusts its sensory impressions. Their entire body serves as an instrument for perceiving the ­situations in which they find themself. They are fully aware that they are a sensitive living system that is undoubtedly embedded in and dependent on other living systems. The SYS has developed a special sense for living systems and it is therefore not possible for them – or only possible with great overcome and effort, and associated with pain – to behave destructively and idiotically towards life and living systems. They have the impulse, a kind of instinct, to behave benevolently towards all living systems. #SLS #SENSING LIVING SYSTEMS #FWFPEEKProjekt #MUELLER-DIVJAK Jeanette Müller, Paul Divjak, Alexandra Graupner, Anna-Maria Irgang
