Dr. Aneta Stojnic Introduction to Gilles Deleuze “Postscript on the Societies of Control” (1992) Followed by screening and discussion of documentary film “Citizenfour”

The introduction to Deleuze’s “Postscript on the Societies of Control” by Stojnic is part as well of the workshop B3. Deleuze text from 1992 is a key theoretical text that contextualizes current global changes and movements connected to development of new media cyber surveillance and digital modes of governance. The processes Deleuze precisely anticipated in his text from 1992 will be connected to the most recent events depicted in the documentary film about Edward Snowden's leeks and this will be taken as as starting point for a discussion of political and artistic implications of the mentioned processes.

IMPORTANT: Two texts will be read as part of the workshop /PCAP summer term

1. Gilles Deleuze “Postscript on the Societies of Control” (1992)
2. Interview with Angela Davis: “On what's radical in the 21st century” (2014)

ABOUT THE FILM Citizenfour by Laura Poitras.

Laura Poitras had already been working on a film about surveillance for two years when Snowden contacted her, using the name “CITIZENFOUR,” in January 2013. He reached out to her because he knew she had long been a target of government surveillance, stopped at airports numerous times, and had refused to be intimidated. When Snowden revealed he was a high-level analyst driven to expose the massive surveillance of Americans by the NSA, Poitras persuaded him to let her film. (citizenfourfilm.com)

WHERE: XHIBIT, exhibition space at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Main Building, Schillerplatz 3, 1010 Vienna,

A guided tour through the exhibition ATLAS OF ARCADIA by artists and authors Anna Artaker and Meike S. Gleim.

A preopening tour, the official opening of the show will be on 12.03.2015 at 19.00. The exhibition ATLAS OF ARCADIA (in the xhibit akbild) presents fragments of a social history in images. The model for this approach is The Arcades Project by Walter Benjamin that is his draft of history of the nineteenth century using the example of Paris. The ATLAS translates Benjamin's method of “literary montage” (The Arcades Project presents itself as a montage of excerpts from letters, historical works, and other sources) into a montage of images. Images not only play a decisive role for communication and the passing on of knowledge in today's world - Benjamin would certainly have liked to work with images himself. “I needn’t say anything. Merely show,” he wrote in The Arcades Project, inviting his readers to regard his text montages as picture material.

The motifs of Benjamin's history of the industrial age are transferred into the recent past, particularly the years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Student presentation Betül Küpeli rundgang 2015 work

DIPLOMA PRESENTATIONS for April 2015 term

Kader Muzaqi

SCREENING: In connection to Muzaqi diploma presentation will follow a screening of the film.

Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y, a 68 minute-long film by director Johan Grimonprez, traces the history of airplane hijackings as portrayed by mainstream television media. The film premiered in 1997 at the Musée National d'Art Moderne (Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris); and at Catherine David's curated Documenta X (Kassel). "This study in pre-Sept. 11 terrorism »is composed of archival footage material — interspersing reportage shots, clips from science fiction films, found footage, home video and reconstituted scenes — the work is interspersed with passages from Don DeLillo's novels Mao II and White Noise, "providing a literary and philosophic anchor to the film." According to the director, "Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y's narrative is based on an imagined dialogue between a terrorist and a novelist where the writer contends that the terrorist has hijacked his role within society. »The films opening line, taken from Don DeLillos Mao II, introduces the skyjacker as protagonist. Interplaying fact and fiction, Johan Grimonprez said that the use of archival footage creating “short-circuits in order to critique a situation«, may be understood as a form of a Situationist Détournement.
