Media Performance and Artistic Research: Brazilian & German Perspectives

What happens when a performance becomes an tool of inquiry? The day after Post-Urban Paranoia takes the stage, this symposium turns the work itself into a starting point for reflection.

Bringing together researchers and artists from Humboldt-Universität, the Universidade de São Paulo, and the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, the event explores contemporary forms of Artistic Research at the intersection of media art, performance, and sociology. Taking Post-Urban Paranoia as its point of departure, participants ask how artistic practices can themselves function as modes of inquiry into our digital society.

Visitors gain insight into current international debates around Artistic Research, while also looking behind the scenes at the conceptual and practical processes that shaped the performance presented at the Medientheater.
