WochenKlausur
How does the political situation change if elections could be conducted based on new (equally democratic) rules? It's not solely our choices that affect the distribution of power, but also the manner in which we're allowed to vote: when one can vote for and/or against a party, different election results are achieved. WeeksKlausur conducts fictional elections as a pilot study, thereby initiating a fundamental discussion on electoral systems.

kainkollektiv: Elena Novakovits, Anna Majewska, Joulia Strauss, Immanuel Bartz, Mirjam Schmuck, Fabian Lettow, Hannah Busch, Karla Max Aschenbrenner
Through the research project ›COMMUNITIES OF CARE‹, the kainkollektiv aims to initiate an artistic process involving experts and participants that envisions major cities as spaces for feminist care practices. Their goal is to create avenues within contemporary theater to initiate a negotiation process about the relationship between art, theory, activism, and caregiving practices, while interconnecting feminist forms of knowledge practices.

Organismendemokratie & Feral Malmö: Paz Ponce, Georg Reinhardt, Inna Zrajaeva, John Kazior, Louise Peermin, Marianna Sonneck, Matthias Lent
Organisms Democracy is a new urban praxis, an experimental approach which is based on the idea that 'nature' does not exist as a singular entity but rather comprises a myriad of species. Through a human-based political representation system, the praxis makes individual interests of different species audible and strives to find democratic solutions for conflicts. It aims to collectively create declarations and constitutions to establish a basis for the development of a democratic multi-species society.

Alfonse Chiu, Petra Matić, Gusti Hendra Pratama, Arijit Bhattacharyya
›We Are The Nearby Faraway: Rethinking Regionalism, Reworking Solidarity‹ aims to examine the notion of regionality from the perspective of geoculture to dissect the choreography of political affinities and loyalities within contemporary geopolitics, as well as broader questions of movements, migrations, and capital flow. This project re-imagines the definitions of social regulations as a sophisticated form of soft technology across politics, society, and culture.

Connor Cook, Christina Lu, Dalena Tran
Connor Cook, Christina Lu and Dalena Tran developed the ›Whole Earth Codec‹, a speculative multi-modal AI foundation model trained on non-human ecological data. The Codec is trained to detect patterns in the biosphere and designed to stimulate conversations around the political, philosophical, and ecological implications of such a proposal.  Who »owns« the data produced by a rainforest?

POST DISASTER: Gabriele Leo, Margherita Kay Budillon
›POST DISASTER‹ is an interdisciplinary collective based in Taranto (Southern Italy), a city manifesto of the contemporary ecological crisis. Their practice intersects spatial, performative and editorial actions. Their research uses the metaphor of disaster as a territorial lens for understanding global dynamics and tensions. Their main project ROOFTOPS is a long-term platform that unfolds through a series of temporary occupations, reinterpreting existing places into spaces of learning, encounter and discussion where the local community and an international creative scene converge: it is a process of space-making that challenges the common understanding of urban spaces.
