Fabian Faltin: Would be Wood

Just as Austria is hitting peak prosperity, its saturated and diseased citizens dream of returning to the woods. How would such a wood economy work? Puzzling together financial data and bourgeois family trees, a mysterious baroque mural and soviet industrial heroism, WOULD BE WOOD tells the true tale of one man’s journey to the new frontiers of western civilization.

Daphna Horenczyk: DIORAMA:stories

In times of a share and like economy, the value of real-life experience is dwarfed by the ever-inflating value of the story told about the experience. Documentation, manipulation and online-reproduction is taking over, creating alternative realities. In our constant consumption of information (our feed), images and ideas appear in random eclectic juxtaposition—each image affecting our perception of the next one as we scroll down. Our emotions are jolted and our capacity for empathy is reduced. DIORAMA:stories dissects the image/story-making process exposing the audience to both the online stories and their making. Morphing images in a constantly-changing diorama aims to subvert the idea: “If it wasn’t documented it didn’t happen”.
