Wasting Relationships
The program series “Inquiries into the Future” develops from an East-West curatorial tandem and was conceived with an open outcome. From this perspective, possible developments in the coming years should be imagined, discussed, investigated and at the same time placed in a global context. In particular, art and digital culture are to be questioned: What ideas can they offer for possible futures? Which productive forms for approaching possible futures already exist or can be exploited?
Wasting Relationships
This panel examines how (formal) relationships between people are often characterized by exploitative relationships. The artists, theorists, and activists investigate the ideological structures and power relations that keep the Eastern, post-communist space in the position of the (exploited) constructed “Other” even years after the end of the Cold War and which geo-political currents continue to exist due to the ongoing separation of East and West. The event looks at the new logistics centers of German/Western European e-shops in CEE, as well as the conditions for migrant workers in the care sector and seasonal workers in the asparagus harvesting and asks how this will develop further? What will it look like tomorrow? Who’s going to have what job? How does the war affect these relationships now and in the future? What does it mean when the granting of protection and asylum is linked to usability or proximity and “similarity? What is the role of (social) media as an apparatus involved in generating devaluation, polarization and violence?
