AIR InSILo Open Call for the Round 2022/23

The AIR InSILo call for the round 2022/23 aims to meditate on the present state of technology. The task of the residence – which is a space, an entity, a future community that urges us to be aware of issues of consumption, energy, climate, and equality in a non-capitalist way – is to provide a proper environment that can maximally render the potential of the invited artists. But if we speak about technology, which strategy to choose? We focus on and put the clash of two approaches, degrowth and acceleration, in the centre of our discussion.

Eligibility: AIR InSILo is looking for artistic and curatorial contributions:

• Which work with, use, and critically discuss technology in an Anti-Promethean and anti-capitalist way, and in this sense, can bridge the gap between accelerationist and degrowth concepts;
• Have the idea of intensity at their core, in its meaning of work devoted to sustenance, reproduction, relations and the creation of a proper umwelt for playfulness;
• Which are based on or integrating awareness and care as a substantial part of artistic practice;
• Which intensify thinking and slow down the speed and purpose of labour, production and consumption;
• Which can disenchant economics and consider ecological, social, political, a.o. dimensions as a base of artistic practice;
• Which can contribute to the sustainability of the residency by involving different levels of socio-technical innovation.
