Published by Ivana Petriskova

Deadline: 21 October 2016

Grant: micro-grant of 500 USD to support the realization of a project/ best contributions will be published on Schlosspost

Description

Somewhere over the infinite or better said beyond the infinite, a universe has slowly taken shape: SUPRAINFINIT. At first it might feel rather similar to our world, a mere copy of it. Nevertheless upon closer inspection there are plenty of asymmetries: post-chronological, post-religious-orders-as-we-know-them, post-drugs, post-capital SUPRAINFINIT turns into a Utopian container for empowering thoughts on identity, economy, politics, spirituality.

There even is a mysterious chant luring one to enter it. Or a gospel, of a new kind, tinged with insidious hope celebrating l’Avenir. Truly refreshing, there are no maps or GPS for traveling the SUPRAINFINIT and one stumbles onto its unknown potentialities by pure curiosity. Ghosts of familiar bleak futures prophesied by media and politicians hover like prowlers in our subconsciousness. Forget about them. Or render them transparent. Hope is the new oxygen.

Weaving emancipatory thoughts between a digital and an ever shifting physical world, SUPRAINFINIT is calling out for ideas, fantasies and manifestoes for rituals, dreams, exchanges, objects, energies, knowledge and new words for other futures, ephemeral and beyond normalization, in fruitful incongruity with our reality and embedded prospects.

Eligibility

All creatives to contribute to the expansion of SUPRAINFINIT universe: visuals artists, musicians, writers, philosophers, performers, scientists, and anyone excited to participate with no age limit.

All formats accepted: interactive projects, videos, writing, objects, sound, gifs, images, drawings, collages, word, websites, web installations, web performances, and everything in between or beyond.
