-CONCEPT-


The present Idea of a Golden Age of Information with full access causes a
risk of redundant positive thinking where strange mechanisms appear. In
this rhetoric the accent seems to exalt the desire to enter a world of
welfare in which endless possibilities are given by the free redistribution
of resources. This notion represents a contradictory picture; the surface
of an iceberg where the cold hidden dark side is the biggest part of the
whole composition. In the social media economy the “access as
contextualisation” intends to trace information as consumption routes,
producing a “golden age” in the hands of platform owners in a double bind
between social control and digital capitalism. In this theoretical skyline
Facebooks digital skies fuse themselves with Berlin gentrification
mechanisms as the non-plus-ultra of what Saskia Sassen defines as “global
city”. Celebrating the Dark Age of the Golden Cage, two historical
post-identitarian events productions GEGEN and HOMOPATIK decides to create
strange holes in the golden dawn of private skies by re-discussing
identitarian dialectics and applying tactile dialogics, by obscuring
transnational markets and developing new forms of viral promotion, by
mixing genders with human manufacts and stealing life of the social network
near death experience. Crisis is the intra-dancefloor of strange
actualisations where models of entertainment are constructed on identifying
processes. To experience the inexperience is the only way to expand an idea
of the self that, not recognising itself, gives spaces for the flowering of
the new. A sliding idea in which scenes cannot be represented by
shadow-promoters; markets cannot be absorbed by Oligopolies and musics
cannot be replicated as original. So this is an invitation to understand
the resource platform as cage and perceive yourself within. Constriction is
construction where your pathology is desire. Let your digital cage become
yourself, there you'll shine as pure, liquid metal.
