New World (B)Order
A cooperation of Public Netbase and Tanzquartier Wien

Location
Tanzquartier Wien
Museumsplatz 1/5
A-1070 Wien

While, with globalisation, the freedom of the money and commodity markets is an article of faith, the large majority of people are subject to ever tighter limits. Surveillance, limitation of fundamental rights and social and cultural control structures are more than ever a component of the so-called new world order.

Precisely in Latin America, artists and activists are part of the emancipatory movement. Crossing the borders, they are pushing semiotics and social implications into the focus of political activism, theory production and artistic intervention.

The New World (B)Order event attempts to combine performative forms of media activism and post-colonial analysis as a common stage for network culture and globalisation critique. Whether through the presentation of women’s life stories (Coco Fusco), through a digital practice of artistic disobedience (Ricardo Dominguez) or through local media- cultural work (Dezentrale Medien, FO/Golab) – breaking up habitual patterns of perception is the precondition for calling the new world (dis)order into question.

Dezentrale Medien
Wien woanders (2001/02)
nine short films about Vienna
DVD, approx. 90 min.

From October 2001 to July 2002 we were working with public and semi-public spaces and decided to shoot short films about various places in Vienna. One thing the group had in common was the concept of Vienna as a place of immigration. The venues describe an important part of the life of the youth in this city. All contributions can be seen individually or combined with each other and thus provide a specific picture of Vienna (or somewhere else).
dezentrale medien sees itself as a project group and has been working since spring 2000 together with young people, mainly from an immigrant background, on projects in the sphere of the new media.

This project arose from cooperation with the initiative Minderheiten.

FO/Golab
"Blank-made Areas"

In its archive function FO/GOlab collects video material from women’s organisations from various regions. FO/GOlab also acts as a lab and records situations in which fragments of collected video material are shown in order among other things to visually manufacture new contexts/relationships on current women’s issues.

In the context of the New World (B)Order project, FO/GOlab will design a stage around the concept of Blank-made Areas (informal labour market) in a discursive and performative way. Women from various disciplines will be invited in order to approach the subject from different perspectives.

FO/Golab (Angelika Bartl, Isabel Becker, Priska Graf, Irene Lucas, Elisabeth Penker, Johanna Rille, Isabell Schmidlehner) was founded in 2001 during a workshop with Hito Steyerl at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Vienna.
