Die Ausstellung Decoding the Black Box bringt Künstlerinnen und Künstler zusammen, die Licht in diesen dunklen Raum und die Prozesse werfen, die sich in ihm ereignen. Sie legen dabei nicht nur die Funktionsweisen digitaler Technologien wie beispielsweise von künstlicher Intelligenz offen, sondern visualisieren zugleich die Auswirkungen, die sie auf unsere Wahrnehmung von Realität und unser In-der-Welt-Sein haben. Während sie die ökonomischen und machtpolitischen Strukturen der digitalen Technologien und insbesondere des Internets transparent machen, zeigen sie Gegenentwürfe für eine dezentralisierte, humanere und demokratischere Nutzung ebendieser auf.

Speed Show lands in Greece, the country of souvlaki, the sun (yes we can claim that they originated a celestial body), ouzo, feta, an enormous financial debt. Currently, Greece is also trending for all the wrong reasons namely, gentrification, queerphobia, state crimes and more dystopic incidents.
As 2024 unfolds, we find ourselves amidst a whirlwind of confusion, bombarded with a cacophony of online horrors to consume, an attention span further abbreviated by TikTok’s algorithm and the barrage of incoming stitches.
Stitches Incoming serve as a conduit for creators to engage and converse, traversing from one topic to the next. They have evolved into a new social fabric, weaving connections within an ever-shifting digital and physical landscape while also serving as a testament to personal and collective traumas, both past and present.
What unites the participating digital artists? Perhaps everything and nothing simultaneously… Departing from the traditional Speed Show setup, where artworks are carefully stacked inside internet cafe computers, and drawing inspiration from the structure of TikTok stitches, each piece seems to propel the conversation forward, or perhaps uses the next as a springboard for its own narrative.
Stitch this and stitch that, we have everything you ever wanted (maybe) ! Are we stuck in an infinite loop of sh*tposting, valuable content, the highlight of social issues, personal and interpersonal experiences?
Maybe! Come and find out…

I like that term. 🙂

URBAN ACT
A handbook for alternative pratice
at Pro qm Almstadtstr. 48-50, 10119 Berlin
Presentation by Doina Petrescu (atelier d’architecture autogérée) and guests
Urban Act presents a European network of practices who act within the urban public sphere as a place for political change and architectural practice, introducing their different projects, tools and methods. It not only locates and maps the activities of numerous practices, but is structured as a manual to allow insight into the methods of interventionist urban practice, like a user guide to “do-it-yourself urbanism”.
Lol, nice spoof. Didn’t know that one.
Although the role and history of crates in first-person-shooter games is a very interesting topic.

“New Video Game Designed To Have No Influence On Kids’ Behavior”
Electronic-entertainment giant Take-Two Interactive, parent company of Grand Theft Auto series creator Rockstar Games, released Stacker Tuesday, a first-person vertical-crate-arranger guaranteed not to influence young people’s behavior in any way. “With Stacker, the player interacts with an environment full of boxes—lightweight, uniformly brown boxes with rounded corners—and uses diligence and repetitive hard work to complete his mission,” said Doug Benzies, Stacker’s chief developer. “We’re confident that the new ‘reluctantly interactive’ content engine we designed will prevent any excitement or emotional involvement, inappropriate or otherwise, on the part of the player.” …

Collecting experience points while doing the dishes or emptying the dust bin. Hehe, nice idea. Will try that on my shared office workshop space mates.
Last week I went to Cologne to show some of my works in a World of Warcraft computer game show on Giga TV. I took the opportunity to present my new project “1H”. For the show I had a shooting downtown Cologne, me walking the first “1H” weapon a paper ripsaw in Public Space.
Thanks for the invitaion Phil!
All pics, details and DIY on the project page.
This “Installation” looks like a Mark Jenkins piece, but the guy is unfortunately real and serious about his begging effort. I keept seeing him at Hackescher Markt Berlin lately. He reminded me so much of Mark’s “invisible” sculptures. Nobody takes notice.
Great work Mark! Was goo to meet you at the Open City exhibition last year!
It took me a brief moment to realize that this wasn’t another Berlin Mitte gallery shop window. But still a nice installation.
For my new project “Friends” for Futuresonic 2008 I am experimenting with all kinds of real life social web variations. How about printing and pasting offline tweets in your every day life environment?
“What are you thinking?”
