(In)tangible Future(s) - Museum of Artifacts or Practices?
Jasmin Fischbacher (AT), Margarita Köhl (AT)

This workshop addresses the question of which developmental paths can be identified that might bring us closer to this utopia. We start with an audio walk that will immerse us in a future scenario, from which we move back to the present. We collect, deconstruct and reorganize objects in the surroundings, assessing what we would like to take with us into the future museum.

Ver-Hand-lung versus? Ver-Hand-eln
Werner Jauk (AT), Laura Sophie Meyer (DE)

Premise: The work is based on the German language, which allows the process of „Ver-hand-lung“ / negotiation to be etymologically derived from „ver-hand-eln“ through „handling“ hands. It thus iconically describes a symbolic process of negotiation, being present in english language more in the context of commercial activity as a cultural mediatization of its bodily „handling“ basis.

[ɡrɐ'za]graza
Tata Frenkel (LT)

This is a performative lecture during which a certain socio-poetic reference book called Anti-saving Instrumentary is taught. These are anti-preservation instruments.

You and I, You and Me
Mindaugas Gapsevicius (LT) in collaboration with Maria Safronova Wahlström (SE)

Is there a possibility to alter human senses by electric impulses? The participatory event invites the audience to imagine the future and to experience the environment by wearing jewelry, shoes, and headwear.
