Laboratory and exhibition

An interactive, walk-in landscape staged by Thomas J. Jelinek and curated in collaboration with Jennifer Helia DeFelice.
The works focus on contemporary trends in climatological, biological, media and media technology, as well as political terms, and use these to create interactive installations, objects and readable processes that can be followed throughout the exhibition.

SYMPOSIUM start 19-11

19.11. Info.Streams

Never before has so much information been accessible, and at the same time we are experiencing an enormous acceleration in information flows. New media and AI are accelerating these increasingly overwhelming information flows, and at the same time we need to ask ourselves what information actually means. Fake news, AI slop and recommender algorithms are accelerating a social polarisation that increasingly relies on completely separate flows of information. This intertwining of media and political currents will be discussed on this day from a philosophical, media-theoretical and cultural studies perspective.

Moderator: Christoph Hubatschke

20 – 11. Climate.Streams

Currents of all kinds are hugely important for our ecosystems, from river currents to global changes caused by ocean currents. Changes and transformations in these currents are both signs of climate change and accelerators of catastrophic effects.

In order to understand the state of currents in the Anthropocene era, historical perspectives are brought together with ecological and philosophical perspectives.

21 – 11. Capital. Streams

From high-speed financial transactions to the extraction of oil as liquid gold, capital flows occur in many different forms, but what they all have in common is that their acceleration, diversion or drying up has a serious impact on all other types of flows, because economic interests are usually behind changes in climate and information flows.
