krinimi“— Jennifer Edwards: In Times of Crisis: Saving ArtI hate to be a kill-joy, but the vast majority of classical art pieces were designed as product placement ads paid for by monarchs and religious institutions. The Sistine Chappell is an advertisement, just like Shakespearean Plays and Swan Lake - all were bought and paid for by the wealthy for a purpose. If we look at the distribution of wealth today, we may see a recipe for the same type of system. And keep in mind that 'high art' was once 'commercial art' - operas were made for mass-public consumption and as tools for spreading nationalistic ideals. Remembering this may be a good and grounded place from which to deepen our conversation regarding our current 'arts crisis'.

As of now, I'm taking interns.
Offering: Access to a beautiful shared office at MuseumsQuartier as well as a 1000m2 art space, semi-regular contact with politically and artistically questionable people from all over (artists, hackers, theorists, curators, all sorts of organisations).
Internship entails a variety of administrative, technical as well as creative tasks e.g. sending out newsletters, designing stuff, setting up networks, renovating/helping the factory/art space, organisation of events/exhibitions etc. In other words: you'll do what I do, and I'll find a way to utilise whatever talents that you have! Mwahaha!
Payment: As projects emerge that actually do pay (ha!) and you are part of them, you get payed as much as you help. Occasionally freebees of different kinds.
Location: Mainly Vienna - if there's projects that would require attendance elsewhere travel and accommodation would be provided.
“ We visited three hackerspaces ... From an olfactory point of view, it stinks of men, old carpet and cigarettes. ... There is an old teenager feel, the one who doesn’t want to leave his messy room. ... ”— Hackers & pirates modernes: culture, combats, idéologie
They go on to say lots of positive things, but that stings because it's true.

“ The Shunt lounge, a clandestine speakeasy-cum-performance space formerly located beneath London Bridge, has closed then re-opened before closing once again in the past year alone, so it's unsurprising (but welcome nonetheless) to learn that it is being brought back to life. ”— Shunt Lounge Is Back For More
In other words, they are back snorting coke.

“ But we fell short of the lofty creative goal of “Can a Computer Make You Cry?” because we didn’t develop new models of character and narrative. ”— The End of Moore’s Law: A Love Story
I feel like ranting now but there's far too much to say aaaaaaaah.
