KEK!°!! (2024)
livestreamed duration performance,
dimensions variable
Commissioned by Vorbrenner, Innsbruck

KEK!°!! was a six day durational performance we produced for Vorbrenner, Innsbruck. The work involved transferring the briquette production facility from our studio in Brandenburg to the Brux Freies Theater and working for eight hours a day to produce briquettes as well as two projection screens. Each day’s activity was livestreamed to Twitch and the briquette production work was supplemented by dressing up as Karl Marx and as a Dodo, by performing readings from Marx’s ‘Fragment on Machines’ as well as by screening videos about extinction, labour and artificial intelligence.

On the seventh day two edited compilation videos of the Twitch streams were projected onto the briquette screens we’d produced. The original livestreams can be viewed at https://www.twitch.tv/bricksbarn.
