Käthe Wenzel
The merging of biology and technology is one of the most fascinating fields of research of today. The Berlin-based artist Käthe Wenzel (1972) takes up this topic and puts the disciplining and mechanizing of social interactions, public spaces, human and non-human bodies at the center of her works. With subversion and humor, she hence contributes to opening up spaces and to a fruitful dialogue. Her works such as the 'JelliBelly-Bauchpinselmaschine zur Erhöhung des Selbstwertgefühle' (JelliBelly Ego-Stroking Machine) bear witness to her playful handling of the topic. The new publication presents Käthe Wenzel?s 'Maschinen und Service-Projekte' (Machine and Service Projects), 'Stadt-Systeme' (Urban Systems), and 'Organismen' (Organisms), which oscillate between creature and automat, biology and technology.

Tierliche Zukünfte
Sowohl in der Kulturszene als auch in den Wissenschaften und in allgemeingesellschaftlichen Debatten haben Zukunftsdiskurse Konjunktur. Literatur, Film, Kunst, aber auch Politik, Philosophie und Bioökonomie entwerfen ständig neue Utopien oder erschreckende Endzeitszenarien. Spekulatives Design, technologische Entwicklungen und medizinische Forschung arbeiten ganz konkret an der Materialisierung schöner neuer Welten. Besonders virulent erscheinen dabei ökologische, dekoloniale und posthumanistische Ansätze, die Zukünfte vorstellbar machen, in denen Menschen und andere Tiere auf gerechtere Weise miteinander leben. So liegen in den gegenwärtigen Krisen, die vor allem auch aus einem ausbe...
Nichtmenschliche Ästhetik
Der Band verbindet aktuelle Diskurse um nichtmenschliche oder mehr-als-menschliche Akteure in ästhetischen Prozessen mit der derzeit virulenten Debatte um „Care“ bzw. Fürsorgeethik in der Kunst. Gefragt wird nach den Bedingungen, Modi und Konsequenzen einer nichtmenschlichen Ästhetik und danach, in welcher Form Tiere, Pflanzen, Pilze, Mikroben, Bakterien, Maschinen oder künstliche Intelligenzen im Rahmen von Kunstwerken handeln. Die Beiträge beleuchten, wie Künstler*innen mit nichtmenschlichen Entitäten im Rahmen von performativen oder installativen Kunstwerken interagieren und wie sie füreinander sorgen und füreinander verantwortlich sind.
