ctrl-space live: Access Lab

We will continue to read contemporary phenomena through the lens of the term "access" and query them for their potential as raw material for art.

How do you provide access to your art? To yourself? Under which conditions? Who do you exclude? How is the work defined by the way it is being accessed by / the way it positions itself to the audience?

We'll discuss your concepts-in-progress in a free colloquium. New students from all backgrounds are welcome to join this ongoing process. The aim is to develop new methods and approaches, especially those that cross diverse media in a performative way.

*ctrl-space live is a praxis seminar that addresses "control" in two ways:

a) in its cybernetic sense, meaning not domination but interdependence (the role of the artist as one actor among many, who can take a shot at affecting processes largely out of anyone's sole authority, managing connections, encounters, relationships),

and b) the Deleuzian "control society", a fluid regime of mutual surveillance and continuous behavior modulation. This is a seminar about the sites where these processes take place. Its aim is to open up spaces for things to happen, in interventions and performances on- and offline. At its heart this is a performance seminar, addressing the uniqueness of the present moment.
