Hackteria X Why ZET

Workshops, Discussions, Fanzines and Memorabilia

HLabX was a series of residencies and concentrated gatherings of people working transdisciplinary who are interested in creative biological fields and any other areas which intrigue the critical interaction across art and science. It was held over the last 12 months with activities in Taiwan, Indonesia and Switzerland and culminated this April during Oki Wonder Lab in Okinawa, Japan.

We will bring together our global and local collaborators to reflect on the last decade of activities (X), dream about our collaborative futures (Why) and launch our new local programme "Zentrum für Experimentelle Transdisziplinarität" (ZET) with the innauguration of our new OpenScience Lab in the shared hackerspace collective of Bitwäscherei, in the heart of Zürich.

Date: 11. & 12. July 2020

Julian is a (no)mad scientist, curious student and informal teacher with a background in molecular biology. He is working on the endless and underexplored biodiverity of microbes, fungi and phages - with the aim to liberate the world from microphobia through workshopology, fermentation and microscopy. His current main project focuses on creative learning environments and public participation in science with emphasis on the invisible world.

Venue: Kunstraum Walcheturm

Der Kunstraum Walcheturm versteht sich als Ort, wo zeitgenössische Kunst präsentiert, vermittelt und zur Diskussion gestellt wird. Mit seinem Programm, das zeitgenössische Kunst, neue Medien, Video und Film, neue Musik, experimentelle elektronische Musik, Performance und Sound Art umspannt, steht der Walcheturm zwischen Kunsthallen, Galerien und Offspaces. Er bietet nationalen wie internationalen Kunstschaffenden und einem differenzierten Publikum ein anspruchsvolles Experimentierfeld.

Der Kunstraum Walcheturm lotet zeitgenössische Strömungen innerhalb der Schweizer Kunstszene aus und führt Künstler_innen aus der Schweiz mit Künstler_innen aus anderen Ländern zusammen. Dank seiner internationalen Verbindungen zu Kunstinstitutionen, Projekten und Netzwerken ähnlicher Ausrichtung, mit Workshops, Diskussionsveranstaltungen und einem virtuellen Archiv fördert der Walcheturm die wichtige und anspruchsvolle Vermittlung neuer Kunstformen und den Dialog mit der Öffentlichkeit.

Die gut besuchten Veranstaltungen zeigen, dass sich der Walcheturm in den vergangenen Jahren als nicht-kommerzielle Institution erfolgreich positionieren konnte. Gezielt werden Initiativen im Bereich der digitalen Medien vorgestellt und damit Schnittstellen zwischen den verschiedenen Ausdrucksformen gebildet. Hier werden Entwicklungen und Projekte eines erweiterten Kunstbegriffes beleuchtet und präsentiert. Und hier wird der Zugang zu einer lebendigen Kultur geschaffen, die sich in den Grenzzonen des Kunstbetriebs befindet.
