Conversations
with editors Andrej Škufca & Maks Valenčič and contributors Claire Elise Herzberg, Eliška Jahelková, Sophie Publig &
Mikkel Rørbo.
What kind of philosophy and art are called for when reality becomes the precarious
Thing par excellence?
The world is already becoming other to itself, unmasking and
unmaking itself at accelerating speed. What does this reveal about fiction’s power to set realities in motion? What possibilities
does it offer for experimenting with the un/making of reality—and how is belief (in reality and/as fiction) formed, managed,
generated, and suspended in this context?
With two volumes of Unreality Mode, Šum journal
explores the effects and affordances unfolding between psychotic disbelief in reality on the one end and the suspension of
disbelief in fiction on the other. The first volume of this double issue traced this between-zone. The second volume explores
how contemporary art takes up this challenge.
Copies of both issues will be available.
