Gemeinsames Lesen und Vorlesen von inspirierenden Texten zu Beziehungen im Ökosystem und der Frage, wie gutes Zusammenleben gelingen kann. Welche Gedanken, Werkzeuge, Gefühle, Formen von Wahrnehmung und Handlungen helfen uns, ein Miteinander möglichst aller zu ermöglichen? Können wir lernen, mit anderen Spezies zu kommunizieren, um sie besser zu verstehen und zu schützen? Wir tauchen in einen gemeinsamen Erfahrungsraum ein und verflechten Wahrnehmung, soziale Intelligenz und Zwischenräume mit Texten, um unsere Vorstellungen durchlässiger zu machen und Raum zu schaffen für neue Sichtweisen. Lehrende und Studierende der Universität Klagenfurt/Celovec aus den Sparten Nachhaltigkeit, Gender, Transdisziplinäre Friedensstudien, Naturwissenschaft, Philosophie und Cross-Border Studies liefern Denkanstöße, die Performancekünstlerin Christina Clar verlinkt Teilnehmende und Themen mit ihren geflochtenen Seilen und Naturelementen, die Musikerin Tahereh Nourani nimmt non-verbal Bezug auf Gesagtes, stellt vielleicht die eine oder andere Spezies vor und auch für eure Zungenpapillen wird gesorgt.

The mixed-ability dance group from Carinthia, freak out, has created a new performance called ‚we wait‘, for which I made the music. We will play twice in the hall of the station in Pörtschach. There is an exhibition on the process of the creation in the gallery of the railway building, ‚Galerie ZUGängliche Kunst‘. hope to see you there!

The installation Arnhemse Bomen Vertellen had a lot of success and is prolongued until december 15th!

If you have a chance to visit the beautiful parks of Arnhem, meet amazing trees, get info in real time about the tree’s exchange with their surroundings, like co2 exchange, horizontal and vertical growth, the influence of the moon on the trees and many more! You will also listen to my music composed for chosen trees. All good reasons to go there, and many more! More info on https://arnhemsebomenvertellen.nl.

lines, ropes, connections, sounds… another residency in brussels coming up on the theme of non-verbal and interspecies communication. there will be public showings on 12th & 18th of july at 4pm and on the 19th of july at 2pm @ pianofabriek. if you are around, come and find connections!

i want to lea­ve the track of neu­ro­ty­pi­cal thin­king and immer­se in a dif­fe­rent kind of con­tact: ​“it is not linear. it is fluid and flexi­ble, kind of like a pri­va­te wiki­pe­dia that i am con­stant­ly revi­sing and edi­ting, but instead of words, eve­ry­thing is writ­ten in my own ever-evol­ving lan­gu­a­ge of hier­o­gly­phic films fil­led with hyper­links to asso­ci­a­ted and often irre­le­vant thoughts… i am utter­ly inca­pa­ble of having one thought wit­hout at least ano­ther hund­red coming along for the ride…” is how autis­tic come­di­an han­nah gads­by descri­bes her train of thought.

If you are near Arnhem in the Netherlands during summer, pass by Sonsbeek Park to see amazing trees, see and hear data about their well-being transmitted through sensors, listen to the tree’s stories picked up by a tree whisperer and hear how they grow.

Visit the artistic installation from 15 June to 15 September 2024 in Sonsbeekpark, Zijpendaal and Gulden Bodem (Arnhem) at every hour of the day or night. Make sure to bring headphones! Visitor centre Molenplaats Sonsbeek is open from Wednesday till Saturday from 10.00 till 16.00h. Sunday from 11.00 till 16.00h.

Thanks to Anaïs Berck, a collective of humans, trees and algorithms, to invite me to compose the music for this installation!

they are part of the series forms (of being), where i use details found in nature that are amplify and dipped into color. they are living beings to me, parts of rock, ice, snow, earth. this time, i painted on canvas that was mounted onto these chairs, with the help and gift of wonderful Luisa Wammes.

2. JUNI um 17:00 – 20:00h in Klagenfurt ich bin keine Küche

Parteitag der Kunst (II) unter dem Vorsitz von Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky (1897–2000)

»Die Leute glauben immer, ich bin eine Küchenarchitektin, so wie sie glauben, ich sei eine Frauenrechtlerin. Beides stimmt nicht. Ich bin eine alte Systematikerin und habe mich in meiner Arbeit immer nach den funktionalen Notwendigkeiten gerichtet.«

»Ich bin keine Küche (…) Hätte ich gewusst, dass ich ein Leben lang über diese verdammte Küche sprechen muss, dann hätte ich sie nie gebaut.«

the part must be studied as part of a whole; the whole must be studied as being made up of parts; one may not in studying a part neglect it’s place and function in the whole, nor in looking at the whole forget that it is an assemblage, an ensemble of working parts. the system is a system and operates as a system, but it only operates properly if every part performs in good working order.

the specialist may specialize only in terms of an adequate general view.

rober lax, poesie der entschleunigung

some excerpts:

environmental crimes in war are war crimes

a tank consumes 250l of fuel per 100km on the road, in the terrain a multiple of it

Wars cause massive environmental damage, what about damage that cannot be repaired at all? 

„We delude ourselves of how unsustainable change processes are and how high the risk of relapse into traditional patterns is“

We really have work to do! It’s time for the big polluters to be held accountable.
