Eine temporäre Akademie, die, wie Brecht in den dreißiger Jahren ins Tagebuch schrieb, das Gastwohnen liebt
Ist für 10 Tage auf der Wolke 7.
24. Mai ˆ 02. Juni 2007
Kaiserstraße 34
Das Pathoslabor gibt sich die Grundlagen seiner multiplen Forschung zu Geste, Pathos und Stadt. Das Programm ist informell und öffentlich zugänglich. Es gibt öffentliches Lesungen, Vorträge, Diskussionen, Filmprogramm.
Dazu haben wir einige Gäste eingeladen:
Zuerst wird Stefan Lutschinger, der derzeit an einer Dissertation zu Aby Warburg arbeitet, uns mit der textlich ebenso schwer hebbaren wie folgenreichen Pathosformel vertraut machen.
Nach dem stillen Pathos des Pfingstwochenendes, wo es in vielen Zungen zu jedem anders spricht, folgt ein Tag mit dem Architekturtheoretiker Volker Gessendorfer und dem Pathos des Urbanen, das sich oft in der Achse verbirgt ˆ und dann mit und an ihr zerbricht.
Abends spricht Claudia Bosse zu dem, was nicht aufhört, heimzusuchen, dem Massenpathos des Faschismus.
Elisabeth von Samsonow präsentiert auf Video das ägyptische Ritual des Mundöffnens.
Peter Stamer informiert in Wort und Bild über die Mutter allen Pathos, den deutschen Expressionstanz. Darauf folgt eine Konversation zu Geste und Pathos mit Peter Stamer, Chris Standfest und den PathetInnen.
Karl Bruckschwaiger demonstriert die Differenz von Film und Dokumentation anhand der Darstellung von Idi Amin bei Schroeder und Kevin Macdonald, die Forest Whitaker einen Oscar eingetragen hat. Afrika als Projektionsraum trifft auf die gestische Differenz der Medien.
Martin Tiefenthaler, Designer von Ausgabe 1 der Pathospost, spricht über Graphik und Pathos.
Thomas Ballhausen präsentiert und kommentiert pathetische Schätze des Bestands des Austria Filmarchivs.
Dazu werden Filme und manchmal Speisen gereicht, Soap Proben genommen und kleine Ausflüge unternommen. Die erste Ausgabe der Pathospost liegt gratis auf.

paraflows 06 focusses on the idea of a ≠net behind the net‚ which can mean both the digital behind the social net, and the social behind the digital net. paraflows (the Greek prefix Œpara‚ meaning: beside, near, moreover) emanates from the main motors of freedom of the net and its para-experts, the wikipedias and slashdots of all areas within which consumers help each other voluntarily to become and remain critical users and experts in their fields.
The symposium draws participants from all over the world and consists of lectures and workshops on the topic of paraflows 06: Œnets behind the net‚. The exhibition will display works dealing with the Œsocial web‚ focussing on the topic of the Œnets behind the nets‚. Installations and performances are meant to encourage visitors to actively participate in the event. The horizontal concept of the exhibition consciously takes on the approved principles of a decentralized organisation and of participatory practices. The exhibition will therefore be held in seven locations within the Viennese art and culture scene. The daily evening events will top off the festival and encourage participants and visitors to communicate with each other.
9th through 16th September 06

Summer of Love is a ground-breaking exhibition which reveals the unprecedented exchanges between contemporary art, popular culture, civil unrest and the moral upheaval during the 1960s and early 70s. The art and culture of the psychedelic period constitutes one of the most exciting but also much neglected phenomena of the twentieth-century. Moving beyond a purely nostalgic reception, Summer of Love attempts to uncover this forgotten and repressed aesthetic that continues to exert an increasingly powerful influence on many contemporary artists. The exhibition reconstructs the original creative and utopian potential of psychedelic art and locates it within the wider cultural and political context of the 1960s and early 70s, presenting it as an international phenomenon with works from the UK, United States, Europe and Japan. It demonstrates how artists were deeply entrenched in popular culture, influenced by the mind-altering effect of drugs and participated in counter-cultural activities. The inclusion of psychedelic art created by major figures such as Andy Warhol and Yayoi Kusama illustrates the critical role of psychedelia within the contemporary aesthetic discourse, providing a complex and more comprehensive picture of the art and culture of the 1960s.

Net Community Hacks Cultural Funding System
„Our much-discussed, game-theory-oriented approach to cultural funding
represents a clear rejection of all the Austrian cultural industry‚s
hegemonic tendencies,‰ states MANA coordinator Stefan Lutschinger: „This
hack of the outmoded jury and committee system opposes every rationalistic
funding cut with pure difference, contingency coping and the fruitful
development of paradox.‰
Software-based Funding Distribution
Last week, a participatory cultural support budget of 125,000 euros was
distributed to artists and cultural producers in Vienna using the MANA
Community Game ˆ an innovative software-supported selection process. The
decision regarding the distribution of funding was not made by curators,
juries or committees, but by the submitters themselves. Twelve people will
receive project grants between 5,000 and 15,000 euros, whereby 42% of the
recipients are women.
„Old‰ Concepts and „New Thinking‰
The Community Game is one of the most innovative distribution systems for
cultural funding worldwide. It is based on „old‰ concepts of the
avant-garde ˆ auto-curating and self-organization ˆ and the „new thinking‰
of second-order cybernetics. MANA‚s great advantage is its capacity for
self-correction and adaptation to intelligent system environments: errors
and irregularities can be recognized and corrected immediately by the net
community, which emerges strengthened from this process. Here 120
submitters agreed to a complex set of rules.
A Self-managed Cultural Funding Budget
Since the autumn of 2004, the open net community „netznetz.net‰ has grown
out of the numerous digital cultural initiatives that have developed in
Vienna in recent years. In order to do justice to these diverse cultural
and artistic modes of expression, an application has been made to the City
of Vienna‚s Department of Cultural Affairs (Net Culture Unit) for a
self-managed cultural funding budget to support this very active scene
with around 500,000 euros yearly. The heart of this funding model is the
software-based selection process MANA. After a two-month evaluation phase
in early summer, the net community will decide on its specific adaptation
and further development.

The central piece of the new Viennese support model for net cultures starting 2006 is the yearly grant of 250 000 • - with the help of a software based assessment process. The goal of the symposium "Parliaments of Art" is to work out the conceptual basis of this new democratic project. "Parliaments of Art" will deal with the material as well as the symbolic dimension of the "art of networking" and the production of new collaborative knwoledge - ideas, images, emotions and relationships.
The software based curator system MANA offers the collective and individual enviroment of action. How is the thinking and doing provided by such a matrix? What as defined as action, what is visible, what is affective? Who or what should be defined as being active?
Is it possible to have such a "Parliament of Art"?

From Koenigsberg with Love investigates the complex architecture of Immanuel Kant´s Critique Of Pure Reason: its "thorny paths" are documented - through computerbased visualizations of significant passages - as an collaborative lecture. In the course of the netculture-project "The long distance howl" by Martin Krusche, kantian thoughts and aesthetics were at issus, building up alongside the train-symposion "The Cybertrail" the discursive mould for three modulated manifests. These three installations try to put the kantian doctrine of space, time and transcendental schematism of concepts of understanding- into an artistical context and comment the major work of this great philosopher from Königsberg (Kaliningrad) via aesthetic strategies in net.art.

pooool is the first project of its kind, aimed at covering the growing need for visual content in major markets. pooool is also art and research oriented, colaborating closely with art universities, technical research departments and cultural institutions. Unique beyond a functional business and sales model is the newly developed copyright and utilization concept for visualists. An intellectual property protection and utilization society is planned to be coupled with the pooool-label, creating a lasting link between creatives, culture, economy and the public. This implementation is an essential component of the visualist association pooool.
