nomadic new york counters Manhattan's restless flow of money with
"decelerated" in-between spaces. Their performance art refuses
spectacle.
It takes on a political dimension through the formation of temporary
collectives which occupy spaces in new ways. The artists open up New
York and Berlin through their nomadic coming and going, their avoidance
of fixed structures. In Berlin they will tell us a story of life in the
global metropolis, a story that we all have in common.
For the market, nanoparticles hold the 21st century's great promise. For
critics, they are a vision of pure horror, as long as the toxicological
risks are not known. The era of unregulated nanocapitalism has already
dawned, with these smallest of particles being used today in cosmetics,
fabrics and dyes. Ricardo Dominguez, founder of the Electronic
Disturbance Theater and initiator of virtual sit-ins on the Zapatista
resistance, sees his art as explicitly politically commissioned. He and
Diane Ludin invite the public to a multimedia lecture-performance with
two leading nanotechnologists that will provide insight into the stories
of the global particle market. Knowledge is action!
