esc return ↩: Scripts for Degrowth, Buen Vivir and Living Otherwise

01/06/2024, 14:00–19:00
01/06/2024, 14:00–20:10

What does growth mean nowadays? In an era of planetary emergency, voices for scaling down and changing pace multiply. Terms like ‘degrowth’ –, post development and ‘buen vivir’ (well living) are used more and more to highlight the need to acknowledge planetary interdependencies and set boundaries to the use of earth’s limited resources. At the same time, people and states around the world do not hold the same responsibility with regard to the issue. How can we articulate responses together and establish dialogues across geographies, discourses and practices that are committed to living otherwise?

Esc return ↩ addresses these topics through a gathering of diverse practitioners from the fields of art, design and architecture. Discussions will unfold around:

Esc return ↩ is not an escapism action or a coming back measure. It it is rather a call for a constant re·calibration process, a termination of a given script based on economic growth and a collective re·execution: A constant, yet still dynamic UnReLearning process.

Symposium

Energetic Maneuvering:
Low and Social Tech

14:00–16:00 Uhr

with: !Mediengruppe Bitnik, Kris de Decker, Valentina Karga, Joana Moll & Daphne Dragona

When imagining a more sustainable future, the role of technology in it comes to the foreground. Green tech solutions have their limitations and contradictions given the fact that their manufacturing depends on earth resources exploitation, and their eventual disposal is unavoidable. Living sustainably signifies a radical re-imagining of how to live, how to consume and how to be attentive to the impact anthropogenic activity has on the environment. This discussion brings together practitioners from the field of art and design working on and with relevant infrastructures, tools and ideas. Low tech solutions, traditional knowledges, radical prototypes, and forms of social relationship will be discussed as starting points for building, understanding and/or using technologies of different scope and scale.

BREAK

Fast/Slow — Food Contribution
16:00–17:00 Uhr

by Gosia Lehmann

‘One for you, one for me.’

Food production, distribution, and culture are crucial aspects that need to be reimagined in order to make degrowth come true. How can we cultivate new ways of sharing food? What rituals and habits could be helpful to enjoy more considerate consumption? How should we change our relationship with 'More-Than-Human' agents within the agricultural context? How can we shift our food habits from individualistic cravings to collective caring? And what ingredients could help us to taste the idea of degrowth?

Gosia Lehmann is going to set-up culinary experiments and develop flavourful interventions as conversation starters for the debate on how to eat to reconceptualize our flawed food system.

LAN•DING Practices:
Sowing Local Area Networks

17:00–19:00 Uhr

with: Fernando García Dory (INLAND), Nidia Catherine González, Daniela Medina Poch (embodied climate agency - eca), Plateau Residue & Hajra Haider Karrar

Repeated as a mantra of the new world, “DATA is the new oil” has been the dominant logic driving our relationships in our natural and artificial environments. This has led to the orchestration and fabrication of physical and digital extractivist systems. If we are to overcome the othering provoked by binary thinking, what other vocabularies, lexicons and grammar can we learn from languages attuned with the rhythms of the planet? What logic is to be found embedded in the very constructs of nature, territory, environment, landscape, field or Umwelt? What possibilities are offered to situate ourselves in ecologies of interdependence and not merely of opposition? The practitioners of this group will offer diverse angles for situated grounding through land and climatic practices, approached as learning spaces. If we have been aspiring to the cloud of globalism, what can we spark when we connect through our roots? How can we break digital and physical monoculture and expand permacultural relational practices? How does the notion of response-ability change?

Governance and Re·Assembly:
Shuffling Community Economies

14:00–16:00 Uhr

with: María Belén Mora (Moneda Social Muyu - Ecuador), Yin Aiwen, Laura Lotti, Pablo Somonte Ruano & Juan Pablo García Sossa / jpgs

If growth at all costs is to be challenged, other assemblies and understandings of governance and economies are needed, such that would relate to the specificities of place and take in mind societal and environmental impacts. With the imposition of a single global system, the logic underneath the import / export of goods turned pervasive. This dis·location has rendered contexts meaningless, supporting the illusion that things will work in the same way no matter where they take place. How can we de·link from the dominant matrix of power? How can we re·assemble relations in the form of other governance models, exchange systems and relational economies? What does an economy following degrowth or embracing buen vivir look like? And how sustainable or resilient are the communities that support it? The practitioners of this cluster will offer stories, reflections and visions around situated distributed systems, commons-based initiatives, social coins and systemic relational design.

Nets of Interdependence:
Practices Of Healing, Recovery and Repair

17:00–19:00 Uhr

with: Elke Krasny, Kathleen Bomani, Cristina Flores Pescorán, Teresa Dillon & Gilly Karjevsky

The call for a continuous acceleration and optimisation that supports the imaginary of economic progress has led to an exhaustion of both bodies and resources, hitting some territories more than others. Which practices can assist in healing wounds caused by a legacy of exploitation? How possible is it to restore broken societal systems and human to nature bonds, in order to face the asymmetries and forms of injustice of the western patriarchal world? The speakers of this panel will discuss feminist practices pointing towards infrastructures of interdependence and co-existence, care and maintenance. With examples from the fields of architecture, design and art, emphasis will be placed on the possibilities to claim agency in the building offutures and the remembrance of the past.

Alt Nets

OPENING 19:00-22:00 05/09/2024–19/10/2024

The group exhibition titled “Alt Nets,” at panke.gallery brings together artistic positions that explore the intersection of community networks, low tech and permacomputing. The relation between these concepts lies in their shared values of community empowerment, sustainability, and accessibility. They represent different aspects of grassroots efforts to reclaim control over technology and communication infrastructure, while also promoting environmental stewardship and social justice/equality.
Central to the exhibition is the recognition of the qualities derived from grounding artistic practices in existing contexts, conditions, and communities. Unlike the solutions proposed by technocratic elites, which often overlook collective efforts and community organization, the artists featured in "Alt Nets" prioritize nurturing and strengthening the communities they grew from.

Artists:
Everest Pipkin (US), Tega Brain/Benedetta Piantella/Alex Nathanson (US), James Bridle (GRC/GB), Matthias Fritsch (Berlin), Alice Yuan Zhang (US), eeefff (BLR, Berlin), Ursula Endlicher (AT/US)

Ola Bonati and Brendan Howell – Permacomputing Your Way Out of Casual Dystopia

14:00–19:00

The workshop led by Ola Bonati and Brendan Howell aims to provide participants with a playful exploration of the concepts and philosophy of permacompiting. In one day, we will experiment with alternative ways of communication using repurposed electronics and based on speculative futures. We will create role-playing scenarios in which constant (and instant) access to the network is not a given. Can we force ourselves to think of resource-minimalist futures while living in a maximalist reality? How can we regain some of the agency by stepping out of the mainstream use of media? How can we apply permacomputing principles in our daily practice? We invite you to join us in pursuit of answers to these questions!

Liaizon Wakest – Roam the Wilderness of Autonomous Social Networks

15:00–19:00

Liaizon Wakest will guide a tour of the autonomous social space known as the fediverse. Explore the challenges and potentials of this unraveling hydra where individual autonomy and collective action intersect. Each node in the network can range from a single autonomous human operator to millions under the control of a multinational corporation, all utilizing the same methods of exchange. This diverse spectrum of ownership and governance within the fediverse reflects the complexity of digital ecosystems, where individuals and corporations coexist and interact within a shared strata. The evening will start with an introduction and brief history of the fediverse. Everyone will set up an account and then collectively navigate across various islands of the network and ponder questions together as they arise.

Matthias Fritsch – Perma Garden

13:00 - 18:00

The "Waldgartenpilot Rehfelde" is a community project that aims to transform an area of 2.7 hectare in the vicinity of Berlin into a place of food production that is both ecologically and economically successful, and to make these steps comprehensible and replicable for future initiatives as a pilot project. The idea for a forest garden at this location goes back to the initiator Ramos. Matthias has been part of the core team since spring 2020 and cofounded the project in Rehfelde-Dorf.

!Telepresencia

10/10/2024–11/10/2024

Telepresencia takes place as a planetary intervention between Europe and South America, urban and rural environments, the metropolis of Berlin and the hinterland of San Marcos Sierras in Argentina. Addressing the climate catastrophe and resistance and versus war participants from both sides will collaborate in a week-long telepresence. Analog and electronic instruments and devices such as habitat, action, off grid communications, composing, effect, live moving images and -video are used in joint improvisations such as sessions, a concert and a club event. Guest spirits speak en vivo into the stream. The live circuit transports the argentine wasteland audivisually into the Panke Gallery. Cross-linking simultaneous views of the hybridization of both places, the results of the telepresencia, real and utopian, historical and scientific, on a conceptual accelerofuturistic background, serve as a trigger for artistic degrowth.

About the Project

The project "find.select.transform – Resilient Networks in a Wounded World" responds to the pressing social, ecological, and economic challenges of our time. It employs artistic positions to critically examine how current technological developments and organizational practices can contribute to a sustainable transformation of our society.

The project aims to highlight alternative strategies, aesthetic positions, and networks that challenge the conventional understanding of growth. In doing so, it emphasizes the role of art in narrating such developments and seeks ways to address power imbalances and extractivism.

The focus will be on artistic positions regarding the climate catastrophe and community networks that promote democratic participation and equality.

The schedule for 2024 includes the symposium in May, the presentation of telepresent artists and a live streaming event in June, lectures in June and September, as well as the exhibition and accompanying programs from September to October. The variety of formats promotes interdisciplinarity and multiperspectivity.
