It was used as a starting point for reflection at the final discussion session of BaNd:expanded on February 19 at Theaterhuset Avant Garden in Trondheim.
Here is the article by Hito Steyerl “Art as Occupation: Claims for an Autonomy of Life”.
And here is the article by Boris Groys mentioned by Manuel Pelmus during our conversations: “Self-Design and Aesthetic Responsibility”.

Two days of a very intense experience here in Trondheim. I came on February 17, and I was a bit worried after reading Krista’s comment. Surprisingly enough it turned out that “just” listening to each other and discussing a variety of issues suggested by participants’ presentations is very very interesting and inspiring.
Today we’ll try to sum up.

1. i feel like an art machine
2. why networks and other forms of so called “creative collaboration” look like a new form of fabrics?
3. is there a way out?
4. are we happy and why?
5. at this particular moment I wish to use my time not for talking

I wonder if Baltic countries have in some sense more result-based thinking in artmaking than Nordic countries?

When Loore, Madis and I were on a plane flying towards Sweden and then Norway we instinctively grabbed newspapers from the newsstand before boarding and, right after liftoff, immersed ourselves in information. Lots of talks about ACTA, the death of Whitney Houston and people rebelling in Greece.
(Loore and Madis immersed in crisp fresh papers and crisp fresh info.)
But Madis had a bit of a cold and Loore and I had been awake for dozens of hours so it wasn’t always easy to consume information. Here is Loore expecting invigorating mind-sparks from an article on immaterial labour and getting a lullaby instead:
(Loore reading an article on immaterial labour.)
You can’t see it but Maike was also asleep on the opposite row of soft Arlanda Airport chairs.
The thing is, we use information and stories to become more connected and engaged in the world surrounding us but we also use them as a pathway to sleep.
