From the conference programme:
ELIJAHS BALL, Sculpture, Herwig Kemmerich

A long time ago the prophet Elijah coined the expression: “grass will grow on your cities”. Reflecting ecological challenges in post-industrial society, the wrecking ball can represent deconstruction on a material level, it can be read as a symbol against repetition and for the possibility of a new beginning. The individual that decides and acts with self-discipline plays the most important role in contributing to transition.

CHALLENGE DEGROWTH
Interactive installation, Stella Veciana, Dan Norton

This installation collects, generates and networks knowledge, carrying it from one conference to the next. Dealing with the global challenges of our time, it uses video interviews to create an interactive “treasure trove” of ideas that arise from the dialogue between differing disciplines and world views.

BLACK MARKET FOR ERRORS II SCHWARZMARKT FÜR IRRTÜMER
Participatory Installation, Jaana Prüss

The Black Market is a participatory research project investigating the role and meaning of errors, mistakes, shortfalls and deviations in community life. They hold worthy information and learning potential. Using conversation, texts and objects and the abilities of the conference's participants, the Black Market collects material and immaterial errors that can be traded, shared and developed.

Aus dem Konferenz Programm:
ELIJAHS BALL, Sculpture, Herwig Kemmerich

Der Prophet Elijas prägte vor langer Zeit den Satz: "Gras wird auf Euren Städten wachsen". In Reflexion ökologischer Herausforderungen der post-industriellen Gesellschaft, kann die Abrissbirne für die Dekonstruktion auf feinstofflicher Ebene stehen, als ein Zeichen gegen Wiederholung gelesen werden sowie für Möglichkeiten eines Neubeginns. Den größten Anteil an einem Wandel trägt dabei das Individuum, das mit Selbstdisziplin entscheiden und handeln muss.

CHALLENGE DEGROWTH
Interactive installation, Stella Veciana, Dan Norton

Die Installation überbrückt Konferenzen indem sie Wissen sammelt, generiert, miteinander vernetzt und von Konferenz zu Konferenz weiterträgt. Sie widmet sich den globalen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit und schafft durch Videointerviews eine interaktive „Wunderkammer" dessen, was im Dialog von Disziplinen und Weltbildern entstehen und entdeckt werden kann.
