CLOUDS IN THE SHARK POOL

An artistic barcamp on the societal role of artists
between the poles of cooperation and competition

In form of a generative performance CLOUDS IN THE SHARK POOL reflects the role of the artist as a medium between the poles of cooperation and competition – an antagonism forming one of the main pillars of onholding scientific discussion. Where do we stand today? In the process of humans and media growing together more and more one can divine a medialization of identity, thus a synchronization of individuality. As a consequence, the question needs to be posed whether not only information itself is a medium but whether the artist her-/himself – thus, humans themselves – is nothing but a medium.
