A Project of the Cultural Year 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pandemic marks the beginning of an interim period. In our response to the natural disaster, contradictions of the fourth industrial revolution become highly visible. The disappearance of the old \u201cnormal\u201d in \u201csocial distancing\u201d and accelerated structural change opens the view for new opportunities. Now we can decide in which attitude we want to face the future: Passive and submissive or actively designing?<\/p>\n

The festival exhibition The City as a Data Field. How We Want to Live in the Future<\/em> is one of the larger projects of the extended Cultural Year 2020 and is part of the thematic focus \u201cDigital Living Environments\u201d. It raises the question of how the individual and society are doing with global networking, \u201cbig data\u201d and \u201cnavigating through data\u201d. \u201cFirst we make data, then they make us\u201d\u2014what possibilities of \u201chumanisation\u201d (Flusser) are opened up by technology, what do we need to consider?<\/p>\n

The narrative of The City as a Data Field. How We Want to Live in the Future<\/em> follows images proposed by the philosopher of technology Vil\u00e9m Flusser and his plea for moving towards \u201cdesigning fate\u201d and venturing utopia as a playful testing of alternative possibilities of a \u201cdecent\u201d life in response to the crisis. According to Flusser, the \u201cwe\u201d to be reconfigured could be \u201cno longer subject to values, but composes them instead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flusser\u2019s visionary background provides the stage for addressing the conflict between efficiency and optimisation versus personal and collective freedom of choice. The City as a Data Field. How We Want to Live in the Future<\/em> is about the advance of data-driven automatic control into more and more intimate personal spheres of life. Whether \u201csmart city\u201d, \u201csmart home\u201d, choice of partner and family planning, body implant or child rearing\u2014the ubiquity of data control in public and private products and services in the post-digital age of Industry 4.0 demands a reflection on the goals that guide us.<\/p>\n

The visitors encounter this narrative of our history in three performative formats that invite repeated active participation:<\/p>\n

1. Festival and interactive exhibition in ten themed rooms on the ground floor and 2nd floor of the Graz Museum\u2014with high-level international artworks, historical technical objects and themed installations
\n2. Ten-week discourse festival on the themes of the exhibition spaces, partly in the Graz Museum and Graz Museum Schlossberg as well as at striking cultural locations with lectures on the individual themes and participation by Graz-based initiatives
\n3. Thematic tours on changing focal points such as data economy, privacy, security and much more.
\n4. Accompanying and in-depth discursive web format that also assumes the function of a catalogue that will perpetuate the exhibition.
\nThe festival exhibition The City as a Data Field. How We Want to Live in the Future is
\n\u2022 dynamic, not static; it responds to visitors and changes over time. A performative exhibition in which the contradictory nature of the creative forces and the open-endedness of the development of technology are introduced (not resolved).<\/p>\n

\u2022 metaphorical, a \u201cstage play in ten images\u201d; it begins with Peter Weibel\u2019s and Christian L\u00f6lkes\u2019 eponymous work \u201cThe World as s Field of Data\u201d, in which one no longer navigates by the stars but by data, and ends where one is as close to the stars as nowhere else in Graz: on the Schlossberg, near Richard Kriesche\u2019s ARTSAT disc with a workshop to release a manifesto: \u201cHow We Want to Live in the Future\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2022 contradictory; it leads us into contradictions and experiences, into feelings about the world, but it never radiates powerlessness or dystopia, but confidence; it is about decent living without giving concrete directions. The question is not how I want to live but how we want to live.<\/p>\n

\u2022 participatory; the festival format invites active participation.<\/p>\n
