Fog, whirlwinds, clouds, and consciousness: Against the backdrop of the growing impact of digitalization and its extractive practices, STWST outlines with FOG MANIFESTO a building made of fog—and becomes a FOG CUBE in the technocapitalist storm. Actors, materials, systems, contexts, and new states of aggregation become an artistic total system of human and non-human collectives.
FOG CUBE I, fog architecture on the façade: Formless forms and realities that no longer come into being. People are invited to live in the fog throughout the festival. Fog life addresses new invisibilities between humanistic foundations, firewalls, human-machine hallucination, and dissociation.
FOG CUBE II, main Venue at STWST: A main actor, fog diffusing from the walls, focuses on the interzones of imagination and hallucination. Collective immersion in the FOG CUBE during music and performances.
