to this event via info@ailab.atWe experience strange days in which
all our relationships to our diverse environments change, and must change. We are already used to calling this change ‘climate
change’. But have we yet understood what it really means?
The experimental project
Passenger
Diaries keeps a diary of a journey into another life in the close neighborhood – life that is as personal as it
is oriented towards the environment, urban and suburban spaces. To enter this close range is itself the passage we seek and
attempt. The researchers turn collectively into
The Passenger, inspired by Iggy Pop's mythical song and
understood as a ‘cloud’, a ‘state of mind and body’, addressed with the pronouns
they,
them and
theirs.
Salon de Passage #3
Gathering, Hunting, Cultivating: ‘Green’ takes place at the iconic Otto-Wagner Kassenhalle.
The
Passenger will share diary entries of their cruising in „trans-urban spaces" and discovered psychogeographies.
In particular, the colour green and how it can be found along Vienna's railings will be explored in the form
of contributions by invited guests and experts from the fields of architecture, visual arts, heritage conservation, media
theory and curatorial practice: To this end, Heinrich Büchel draws on a green board spatially structural about ‘everything
inside, everything outside - because what is inside is outside’, Thomas Feuerstein talks about green unicorns in paradisiacal
gardens and how he finally married a plant, Jens Hauser introduces the practice of ‘hunting for green’ and discovers this
very colour to be particularly anthropocentric, Robert Linke deconstructs the myth of the so-called ‘Otto Wagner green’ using
the example of Vienna’s city railway, while Judith Reichart asks how red-green color blindness has an impact on art and design
production and perception.
