Is there anything external to the algorithm today? Of all the sciences, anthropology has been the one that has most often explored the "outside" as such, mediating contact with a radically "offline" world not yet assimilated into global technical civilization. Aboriginal people today also already use smartphones. At first glance, then, it might seem that this "totalitarian" movement of digital networks simply reached a new level of completion during the covid crisis, but the reality was much more interesting and less linear.

The loss of local ownership also impacted the names of newly established stadia - for example, Arsenal moved to the newly built Emirates Stadium in 2006, sponsored by the airline of the same name. Manchester City resides at the Etihad Stadium, again sponsored by the airline of the same name, which in 2011 caused the older stadium owned by the city of Manchester to be renamed. Ties with the capital of Arab oil monarchies gradually became a common part of club football in England.

Barbora Šimková

In Šimková's work, her own precarious social position and precarity become the starting point of her work as a social symptom, which she explores through paintings, performances or through collective installations and various institutional interventions.

Limits of Coexistence

The key significance of the accelerating development of artificial intelligence and other digital systems lies in the fact that they allow us to newly recognize the plurality of other forms of non-human intelligence that we have been “secretly” surrounded by all along. We needed to invent thinking machines to notice that everything around us is thinking.

Absences in the video archive 3: Memory, migration, and nationalism

Research in the film archive has brought to light videos that critically examine the categories of national identity and gaps in the national memory. Through the artistic deconstruction of national symbols, sites of memory, and stereotypes, it is possible to expose the nationalisms and racisms that spring from these gaps, and these films thus contribute to filling them in.

Road to Qatar

The transformation of football as such has been continuously running since its inception in Britain in the second half of the 19th century. What started as a community activity associated with locality, corporeality and grass very quickly acquired a parallel of the commodity branch, which has gained worldwide importance due to its distribution through the media image.

Veronika Bromová

Bromová is often associated with the transformation of the perception of female identity in the art of the 1990s in Central and Eastern Europe. She is interested in women’s sexualized position in society. In her ritualized performances of recent years, on the other hand, she emphasizes the archetypal healing power of femininity, fertility, relationships, and collectivity.

In-habit

Are we active enough in the face of the scale of current planetary and environmental challenges? Where are we heading in our thoughts and actions? How can we change our habits to protect our habitat (environment)?

The Design of the Anthropocene

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, architecture and design saw the culmination of an approach that claimed that artificially designed systems could mimic natural systems and together create symbiotic assemblages enabling human civilisation to function on Earth. But the paradigm of control has since been shaken to its foundations, and if we are still trying to revive it, it is because we haven’t yet managed to name a new one. The Design of the Anthropocene could be the practical fulfilment of these unnamed paradigms.

The ship doesn’t belong to Theseus alone

An unconventional dialogue between the German architect Thomas Burlon and the German-Belgian artist Bernd Trasberger focuses on collective authorship.

Pro(s)thetic Dialogues

Pro(s)thetic dialogues is more like a recording of a theatre performance playing out on a computer desktop. Here the human operator creates the conditions for exploring the performativity of a philosophical zombie pieced together from neural networks.

Anetta Mona Chisa

"I am the future and the past, a loophole in time and space, I am the essence of everything matter […] You can't escape me, I'm driven by forces that are here billions of times longer than you, dear” says dust in Annetta Mona Chişa's video Tell Me, Dust, about your Complicated Matter. Inanimate materials, such as dust particles, make it difficult by its very nature, to have a common understanding of the world, or even the whole universe.

Architecture of coexistence: VinziRast-mittendrin

They met in 2009 during student riots where the space of an occupied university building provided shelter for both protesting students and the homeless.

Storytime is a diary entry, coming of age story and confessional by artist Magdalena Kašparová questioning privacy, subjectivity and authenticity of online sharing. What is shared, what is private and what are the possibilities of self-presentation in contemporary screen based culture?

Storytime

What is shared, what is private and what are the possibilities of self-presentation in contemporary screen based culture? Adopting conventions of a YouTube vlog, Magdalena’s teenage diary entries surface raw and seemingly unedited. Stored in a number of disused mobile phones; songs, gifs, low-fi images and movies weave into and trail off in unfinished stories, anecdotes, soundbites and faces from childhood, where experience of mental illness is quickly interrupted by pop lyrics.

Using biohacking and public amateurism as a critical practice of care, Maggic investigates the micro-performativity of hormones and works collaboratively to demystify their molecular colonization. Purity is not an option!

Mary Maggic (b. Los Angeles, 1991) is a non-binary artist working at the intersection of cultural discourse, body and gender politics and ecological alienations.

Open Source Estrogen!

How do bodies queer at the molecular level? How is this queering inextricably tied to industrial capitalism? And is there a way out of capitalist ruins, one that has been further exacerbated by the pandemic?

The relationship of man towards land has always been a significant mover of the organization of social, cultural and spiritual life. Land is inseparably linked with our basic needs, it is the source of our nourishment, offers us a safe home and a space for the merger with the cycle of nature. Despite all this we have managed to bring this relationship to the verge of a crisis full of misunderstandings, visible in all spheres of our coexistence.
