Knowbotic Research, Marlene McCarty, 56kTV-Bastard Channel, N3krozoft Mord
30. Januar - 27. März 2005
In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bundesamt für Kultur/sitemapping.ch sowie der Basler Institution [plug.in] präsentiert die Neue Kunst Halle St. Gallen vier Projekte zeitgenössischer Schweizer Medienkunst. Installationen und Performances ergründen neue Territorien im Ausstellungsraum. Die Ausstellung wird vom Symposium «Exposing Media Art» am 12.03.2005 ergänzt, das Fragestellungen innerhalb des neu entstandenen Bereichs Medienkunst diskutiert.

02.2005 [exhibition:naked bandit; Vol III]:

[Exhibition from February, 4 to 8] Knowbotic Research's ‘naked bandit/here, not here/white sovereign 3.0’ focuses on the mechanisms of detainment of so-called ‘unlawful enemy combatants’ who can be regarded as ‘here’ and, at the same time, ‘elsewhere’, not anymore on the territory of the nation state, and thus banned, stripped off from the legal framework which the nation state guarantees (‘naked bandit’). The project investigates the mechanisms of such an inclusive exclusion and the inherent formations of power. By remodelling these specific formalisms in software code the artists are able to offer different possible scenarios for the liberation of the ‘naked bandit’. It's obvious that the solution cannot be applied on the prison situation. However this tension of the hypothetical is crucial to the aesthetics of the work.

BLACKBENZ RACE
- Projektentwicklung im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts
Kunst Zürich Öffentlichkeit, www.stadtkunst.ch, 2005


The BlackBenz Race is a semi-fictional car race outlined as a public art inter-
vention in Zurich and as well into the transnational Albanian migration space in
Europe. Over the last years the Albanians in Switzerland have been discriminated
and politized in the local mass media as speeders/racers that endanger public
order. Knowbotic research, the theoretician Felix Stalder and three Albanian
social and asyl workers, Arben Gecai, Osman Osmani and Faton Topalli, all living
in Zurich, are trying to open out of this local discrimination practice a space for
an translocal experimental art project: A trip with black cars through the Alban.
migrant routes, starting and returning to Zurich which will manifest visually as a
car race i.e. this quite ordinary car trip will be designed, documented and
mediatized in the style of existing illegal car races through Europe. The race
participants, Albanian migrants and Swiss artists will transmit and publish movies
on a "racing site" in the internet, report via sms text messages and "race" infos
out of the cars to LED displays in the city of Zurich and to local swiss-albanian
newspapers.





PASSION5 [Performance] 2 - 3 November, Puls 5, Zürich

The intervention Passion5 by Knowbotic Research is an atmospheric installation
about different forms of passion: the passion of political activism in street
protests, and the passion of scientific research, articulating playful curiosity
with sytems of public order.
Passion5 reflects the current state of political agency, and its limits. Slogans

and chants from street demonstrations mutate into pure sounds, transmitted by
an urban street cleaning vehicle. Simultaneously, an engineer is trying to build a
flight robot that will navigate autonomously, tracking the indoor space. The
robot is an ambiguous mobile scanner, guarding the space, controlling
movements and behaviour, attracting empathy and attention.
