Dear reSourcers,<br>
<br>
I would like to share some upcoming programme informations from
transmediale side with you. From mid May on <b>this year's </b><b>Vilém
Flusser resident</b>, Pinar Yoldas will start her research on the
project "An Ecosystem of Excess", dealing with speculative biology.
Some infos on the residency can be found here:<br>

<b>Pinar Yoldas</b> is a cross-disciplinary artist and researcher.
Her work investigates social and cultural systems in regards to
biological and ecological systems. Lately she has been designing
mutations, tumors and neoplasmic organs to rethink the body and its
sexuality transformed by the mostly urban habitats of
techno-capitalist consumerism.<br>
<br>
<b>"An Ecosystem of Excess" </b>is an attempt to create a
post-human ecosystem, a living community of speculative organisms
and their environment. The project takes the idea that we are
surrounded by "man-made extreme environment" as its starting point.
A man-made extreme environment is a site of excess, where leftovers
of our capitalistic desires and consumerist actions are
accumulated. Hence junkyards, landfills, wastelands are all examples
of "man-made extreme environments".<br>
"An Ecosystem of Excess" starts with the Pacific Trash Vortex,
(...), a site of fusion between nature and culture. (...) "If life
started today in the oceans of plastic, what kind of lifeforms would
emerge out of this contemporary primordial ooze?"<br>
<br>
The residency will end in Sept 2013 and it is planned to have some
final presentations. During the residency we're planning a series of
workshops, smaller presentations and possibly also a small
exhibition. <br>
<br>
<br>
All best,<br>
Markus<br>
