Exhibition, workshops, screenings and discourse
AIL - Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab
Vienna, 6.10.-26.10.2016
AIL - Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab
Vienna, 6.10.-26.10.2016
In a laboratory and experimental setting, objects are collected that are either products of the effects of lightning or electrically charged themselves – ranging from the historical electrostatic generator, fulgurites and tesla coils to contemporary artworks.
The highly charged collection of items diffuse over the course of the event – the exhibition objects are spread and scattered across the space of AIL. The different daily constellations offer a new way of looking at the material. Additional discursive formats expand the field of research and explore the phenomenon of electrostatic discharge in other practices and areas of expertise.
