Talk / Lecture Installation

Digital Bodies – performativ bodies und digital aesthetics

Accompanying the performance of Anan Fries’ “Resurrect In Peace (R.I.P.),” an installation and discourse programme will take place at HAU2 in cooperation with Contemporary Arts Alliance Berlin and DKB FOUNDATION: “[POSTHUMAN WOMBS]” by Anan Fries is a tender journey into an immersive landscape inhabited by pregnant posthumans. The multiplayer game “A Travelogue of Morphing Bodies” by Janne Kummer and Anton Krause examines body norms in a meritocracy from a queer-feminist perspective. The project impressively combines virtual reality, gaming and computing with current body theories. There will also be a screening of the video works “Bodies” by Jonas Blume and Carla Streckwall's “The Perfect Human Being”. The first discussion will focus on how digital technologies are transforming the aesthetics of artists. The second panel will be dedicated to the virtual extension of the human body.
