What traces do we leave behind in the internet? The data experiment Made To Measure can be experienced on an interactive website

In autumn 2020, the artists’ collective Laokoon called for anonymous data donations. For their artistic data experiment ›Made to Measure‹, the group then created the doppelgänger of one participant: reconstructed right down to the tiniest detail, Laokoon staged five years of the anonymous data donor’s life at PACT. With ›Made to Measure‹, Laokoon is then brought the experiment back into the digital space: the spectacular experiment is exposed on an interactive storytelling website and in a TV documentary.

Fellowship Programme

Through its Fellowship Programme 2020, PACT supports artists who significantly engage with complex social issues and use art to voice and impact on them. Three individual fellowships in 2020 enable teams of artists, activists, philosophers and technology experts, to connect and work in temporary research communities.

Spot on Economies – 1/2/8 Research Forum (01.-17.10.2021)

Spot on Economies focuses on economies as crucial cross-roads between social, ecological, and political futures. Over the course of two weeks, PACT opens its whole house for a collaborative residential research phase framed by a public programme of notable lectures and workshops. Diverse research groups are invited to share and develop their ideas, questions, and proposals transdisciplinarily with other scholars, artists, practitioners, and activists.
IMPACT21 – URGENT TRANSLATIONS – On Codes, Images and Realities (10.-14.11.2021)

IMPACT21 – URGENT TRANSLATIONS – On Codes, Images and Realities (10.-14.11.2021)

The invited expert contributors Arne Vogelgesang, Prof. Dr. Birgit Schneider and artists of the research programme JUNCTIONS21 examine influential visual media processes and dynamic cultural techniques and how these effect on climate politics, future concepts and political radicalization. What kind of translations and research methods should be considered? Can other options for action be devised from artistic working methods? Which competencies need to be bundled? IMPACT21 sees itself as an interface for exchanging ideas about effective possible forms of intervention in the face of global challenges.

Blue Skies - Bodies in trouble // Lectures and talks available online

The growing impact of technology on life as we know it brings changes to our bodies, our communities and the environment – what can we do? How can we understand and shape these changes collectively? Over the course of five days, PACT and medienwerk.nrw shine an investigative light on active interdisciplinary perspectives on new narratives, speculative visions of the future and alternative practices in the company of international artists, scientists, activists, publicists, students and audience members. All lectures and talks are available to see online.

PACT Café

The PACT Café is staying connected with you: PACT’s bright and spacious foyer, which is normally a popular meeting place for families from all over Essen on Wednesday afternoons, has now become the backdrop for an online edition of the PACT Café. Members of the PACT Café team will read to you from their favourite children's books. In this way, we hope to bring a small piece of PACT Café atmosphere to your home and still spend some quality time together, even if we are physically separated.
