(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.

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.

Jobbuffet - von Arbeitnehmen und Arbeitgeben
AMS (AT), Ars Electronica (AT)

In Kooperation mit dem Arbeitsmarktservice (AMS) nehmen wir uns eines paradoxen Phänomens auf den europäischen Arbeitsmärkten an, von dem kaum eine Branche nicht betroffen ist: dass zwar Arbeitsplätze zur Verfügung stehen, sich jedoch Standards und Ansprüche von Arbeitnehmer*innen geformt und geändert haben.
