What's
the difference
between a
speed limit
sign and a
speed bump?
How is law
established and
manifested in
language, signs
and objects? How
do we relate –
and what relates
us – to its
forms of
manifestation,
materialization
and
institutionalization?
The
superposition of
virtual and
physical spaces,
progressive
economic and
political
interdependencies
and
globalization
require the
reconsidering of
traditional
forms of
legitimation and
jurisdictions.
What does it
mean if the
legal subject is
replaced by
quasi-objects,
algorithms and
new
technological
developments?
What impact does
this have on our
understanding of
action and legal
capacity?
Questioning the
materiality,
stability and
language of law
and its
treaties,CODEXbrings
together
international
artists whose
works address
the
performativity
and
formalization of
law and legal
claims. The
accompanying
workshop by Elli
Kuruş sheds
light on
alternative
forms of legal
validity on the
basis of
blockchain
technologies.
