Fashion Show – Performance
Claiming the Runway with Murat Mutlu Karaduman AKA Görünmezkaza
It is all about confidence and attitude – claiming space with grace!
The main stage of Volksbühne is transformed into a fashion runway by content creators who know how to put on a show.
Fashion designer and digital artist Murat Mutlu Karaduman AKA Görünmezkaza reformulates with humor the visual universe of high fashion in his little town in Turkey. Combining highly refined designs with the local stories encrypted in the textiles used, he creates playful narratives where local traditions, community life and global fashion trends intersect. For this event, he created original designs in collaboration with different generations of neighbours from Berlin.

Lecture – Performance
New Dramaturgies: The Theatricality of Content Creation with Martin Rechimuzzi and Brand Cupid and Kevin Slavin

Content Creators have been developing new theatrical languages for the small screens in our hands. But what are the elements that are actually coming from theater, and what happens when some characters and texts developed for the digital realm make their way to very IRL spaces ?
Argentinian actor, political scientist and content creator Martin Rechimuzzi will present a lecture-performance in collaboration with the dancers of Dorky Park. “Landscapes and aesthetics of madness in the digital realm” follows a research in psychiatric hospitals, while addressing digitality as a new territory where we increasingly settle crucial aspects of our life. He will explore new notions of time (no-time) and the algorithm as a Leviathan building up tailored realities (beings who are always right).
South African content creator Brand Cupid aka “The World Register” is an expert in voicing an opinion without and displacing POVs. She will be turning her iconic video stitches into a live interactive experience with the Berlin Audience.

Kevin Slavin takes us on a journey towards the future, where AI represents a moment in which all human knowledge, conversation, and cultural production is being absorbed into a unified front-end interface. Like all mining processes, however, decisions are made in advance about where to dig, and what to extract. Are all of these good decisions?

Founder of Area/Code, former faculty at MIT Media Lab and teacher at NYU, Slavin works at the intersection of science, technology and culture, focusing on embracing complexity in systems and working to make them delight, not disappear.
