WRO 2017: Draft Systems
Overheated technological development considered at all stages has proven costly to the planet; barely established synergy is getting dissociated again, democracy as best of the systems seems to no longer be sustainable; we accept shaky, precarious and temporary positions; while seeking personalised alliances, we commit ourselves to loyalty towards communication procedures.
How does contemporary art reflect/express/ imply these processes? How does artistic practice outline this changeable position framing it in a communication form - between installation and action, concept and artistic manifestation?
