Paradigm Shifts Worklab 2021

About Paradigmshifts

Quo vadis world? In the face of growing global crises, it seems advisable to take a step back and revise existing paradigms of our thinking and acting. Ecological, systemic approaches and questions about diversity and sustainability are also becoming more and more urgent in terms of technology and digitization. The mur.at network of critical artists, programmers, designers amongst other humans tries to develop possible solutions through artistic, practical and discursive work. Local activities in Graz look for synergies with global networking and exchange with mutual organisations and collectives. Work sessions, a virtual fellowship, open discussion rounds and group work result in an various positions in the form of artistic works, creative interventions, online platforms, performances and presentations. The discourse formats involve an open group of interested parties and a specialist audience. The lab brings together creative interventions that re-evaluate our status quo, question current systems and propose new perspectives for possible and preferrable futures.
