HAGAY DREAMING (V.STWST48)

Dondon Hounwn, Shu Lea Chean

Derived from a fabricated legend recounted by Dondon Hounwn, an artist and a practicing shaman of the Truku tribe of Taiwan, HAGAY DREAMING is a techno-fantasia guided theatre of revival that explores technoshamanism and Gaya principles. The work charts a discourse on the diversified nature of genders in primeval states, the conflicted keepers of tribal tradition and the defiant young generation.

Michael Aschauer (AT/FR)

The Coupled Data Intercomparison Extended Reality Roller Coaster, however, sets you up for a ride along real datasets. The tours take you up and down the crude oil price over last 160 years, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (last 100 years), the bitcoin price, the global temperature anomalies of the last 150 years or the atmospheric C02 concentration of the last 800,000 years!

Nik, the Sleeper

Nik, the Sleeper is a performative installation, a spatial sci-fi exploitation story told in scraps of text. Nik, the Sleeper deals with body, consciousness and technology. It engages in historical research on electricity, for example, and points to a techno-future as a potentially larger, connective unconscious network.

Deep Sound Opera

STWST and Guests

In resistance to a world whose linguistic, political and rational contents have been exhausted, critical producers perform a Deep Sound Opera over two nights. It is made up of different acts that are both connected and unconnected to form a larger whole. Sound artists work with language, text and discourse in the broadest sense. Performers and autonomous initiatives act from the experience and practice of DIY, DIWO and DIT.
