Akademie Talk: Triggering
Everything that exists triggers something that follows. / Triggering means setting something in motion, get things moving. / What do the arts trigger? Do artists have control over what their work triggers – / in individual cases and as a result, in individuals and in a social context? / We ask them specifically about what they want to trigger – / and initiate various artistic interventions.
With Karin Sander, Simon Steen-Andersen, Johanna M. Keller, Anh-Linh Ngo, Manos Tsangaris et al.
An event in the context of “Widerstand der Ästhetik” (Resistance of Aesthetics)
At a time when the narrative styles of social media, short clips, fake news and AI are becoming a political power factor, a resistant, ultimately enlightening aesthetic is becoming a duty. However, it often unfolds its power precisely when it is not overtly political. How can resistance then succeed? The Akademie is devoting a series of events to this question.
