Stadtwerkstatt and NeuromedCampus Sleep Lab
SLEEP BATTLE
Sleep Measurement / Performative Installation
servus Clubraum + Maindeck / Fr + Sat, 22:30 – 01:30
Go to sleep! Fatigue, exhaustion, over-information, shock working, sleep pressure, nightmare… Sleep is egalitarian in all its aspects, the criticism of economicized society goes without saying. STWST organizes a SLEEP BATTLE of a more relaxed kind: two people sleep against each other - connected to measuring devices and monitored by the Linz sleep laboratory.
-
The Sleep Battle can be seen and heard in the servus club room, as well as at the Sleep Tunnel on the main deck.
-
Sleep-Intro-Talk Friday, 22.30-23:00: STWST and Andreas Kaindlstorfer
Sleep-Intro-Talk Saturday, 22:30-23:00: Felix Stalder and Matthew Fuller
-
Then Live-Sleeping Time till 2:00 in the morning!
2 sleep against each other! Tired! Monitored! Nothing but seep!
-
The idea for the Sleep Battle arose during a previous kitchen table discussion on STWST48x4 SLEEP and was pursued, conceived and realised in all its essential components by Tanja Brandmayr - with the multiple enrichment and participation of the artists and staff of STWST New Art Contexts and above all the sleep laboratory of the NeuromedCampus. Participants: Andreas Kaindlstorfer (NeuromedCampus Sleep Laboratory), Pamela Neuwirth (Radio Artist), Harald Purrer (Anesthesia), Georg Wilbertz (History of Art and Architecture) and Franz Xaver, Tanja Brandmayr, Jan Nahuel-Jenny (all STWST New Art Contexts).
-
The Friday talk refers to facts and experiences from the sleep laboratory. The Saturday conversation between Matthew Fuller and Felix Stalder refers to Fuller's book “How to Sleep”.
