The Manifesto of Post-Phlegmatism
Publication in the anthology "Sloth" edited by Dr. Bernhard Georg Förg
"The Manifesto of Post-Phlegmatism" is published in the anthology "Sloth", edited by Bernhard Georg Förg, Verlag Inselgespräche, 2025.
“Sloth” shows why slowness is not a weakness, but the most radical form of freedom. The art of deceleration as a key to depth, culture, and humanity. Instead of accelerating, we seek to resist the pull into reverse.

Monitoring: unstable memory / unstable power
Member of the curatorial team of the media art exhibiton at Kasseler Dokfest
We live in a world where violence does not disappear– it merely changes form. It seeps into images, sounds, bodies and the digital realm. Between war news, the climate crisis and economic and ecological impositions, the absurd becomes the norm. Violence is not a state of emergency, but a quiet constant in our present.
"Monitoring: unstable memory / unstable power" brings together 17 works that work with images and sounds, archives and performative gestures, monuments, figures, structures and artificial intelligence processes. In the various exhibition venues—the KulturBahnhof south wing, the Kassel Kunstverein, and the Stellwerk—the artists draw on different strategies: Some train algorithms with digital image material or reconstruct repressed narratives from analog archives in order to expose mechanisms of visibility and omission. Others translate symbols from monuments or state emblems into new contexts, thus questioning collective memory, body images, and public representation.

The personal and interpersonal is one of the basic themes of Monitoring and is complemented by an additional focus on the examination of (public) spaces and the environment. This year, 17 works will be presented, including installations, performance and an audio walk. The curators are paying particular attention to queer perspectives, care work and resistance to socially moulded assignments.
Monitoring: Bond Constraint Parameters opens its doors on November 13, at 8:00 p.m. in the Südflügel of Kassel's KulturBahnhof. Until November 17, the festival will present contemporary international media installations in the Kasseler Kunstverein, Südflügel, Kubatur and Stellwerk.

"In addition to its technical perfection, 'Decoding Bias' convinces with its artistic condensation of current AI discourses, which are expressed in the voices and not only reflect the zeitgeist, but are also made the subject of social negotiation and artistic speculation. The video essay thus also provides a bit of educational work, makes its viewers aware of the discriminatory structure of those technologies with which we are interwoven on a daily basis. It suggests the way in which discriminatory algorithms also reproduce discriminatory attitudes to the world - precisely because people and technologies form an interconnected, mutually dependent system. This is why a prejudice-free AI must remain utopia."

I don‘t allow my head to go there invites you to the place where the present and the past become detached. Where our net-world shows us a sign of life, where sleep is only borrowed, home is only temporary and love is always finite. In spatial and video installations and objects Miriam Schmidtke proposes an exorcism of our everyday objects and our browser histories.
