An online presentation in the framework of the radical⇌matter project
Gerald Nestler is a Vienna based artist, author and core member of the radical⇌matter Peek project. He is also a member of the Technopolitics research group, Vienna and the Volatility research group, New York.
He received his PhD from the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths, London, where he was a researcher at Forensic Architecture.
Gerald's work combines theoretical considerations with installation, video, performance, code, text and language. He explores the "derivative constitution" of contemporary social relations, their models, technologies, processes and narratives. In this context, he designs formats for conversation and action between art, science and theory and develops an "aesthetics of resolution" that makes the asymmetries of data-driven performativity transparent.
In this presentation he thematised the "derivative condition" by means of examples and proposes a practice-oriented, artistic-activist concept for the discussion that brings the intransparency of the black box to resolution. Among other aspects of his work he pointed out that when technology and media are mentioned, financial markets are rarely meant. Yet they play a prominent role not only in the use but also in the development of data-based economisation. As an artist and author, Gerald Nestler also explores this field with regard to technological and media means and their effects on social processes.
Due to the prevailing COVID guidelines, the presentation was held via zoom.
