Dear reSourcers,
I would like to share some upcoming programme informations from
transmediale side with you. From mid May on *this year's **Vilém Flusser
resident*, 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:
http://www.transmediale.de/de/content/vil-m-flusser-residency-for-artistic-research-2013
*Pinar Yoldas* 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.
*"An Ecosystem of Excess" *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".
"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?"
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.
All best,
Markus
