An aesthetic of contemporary life inhales new relationship to objects,
and the attached to us object changes the perspective to it. If the
object for Marshall McLuhan in 60s was an extension of man, for Vilém
Flusser in 80s the man became an extension of “apparatus.” The roles
have been switched literally and physically: since then machine is the
one who creates and man is the one who serves it. Who in the changing
world will be dictating the aims? Who will be responsible if the
unmanned vehicle will kill a man?

The Weissensee Art Academy Berlin is hosting Migrating Art Academies new
laboratory “Aesthetic – Responsibility – Drones”. It will be held at
Kunsthalle am Hamburger Platz Berlin. Emerging artists and students from
any academies are welcome to discuss contemporary aesthetics and its
responsibilities within a world related to technology controlled by
others and by unknown technology.

The six days long lab will offer discussions on the basis of texts by
notable thinkers (a.o. Judith Butler, Christoph Menke), working about
aesthetic responsibilities in social gaming and experimenting with print
making as well as with specifics in sound and electronics.

The list of contributors to the laboratory includes:
Mark Bishop (Goldsmiths University of London), Hannes Brunner, Hanna
Hennenkemper (Weissensee Art Academy Berlin), Derek Holzer, Mindaugas
Gapševičius (Migrating Art Academies), Marcus Steinweg, Hubertus von
Amelunxen (Braunschweig University of Art), Žilvinas Lilas (Academy of
Media Arts Cologne).

Aesthetic – Responsibility – Drones is organised in collaboration with
Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Association, Weissensee Art
Academy Berlin and Top association in Berlin. The laboratory is partly
supported by Lithuanian Culture Support Foundation and Kulturkontakt Nord.
