Smarter Objects, Dani Ploeger at Positions Art Fair 2023

Smarter Objects, Dani Ploeger at Positions Art Fair.

This selection of work gives an insight into Dani Ploeger's long-term examination of the relationships between technologization and violence. Drawing from field research in sites of conflict and crisis on the fringes of the world of high-tech consumerism, his objects, videos and software investigate the paradoxes of Global Northern ideologies of progress. Since 2018, Ploeger has made several journeys to the EU-border fence between Serbia and Hungary where he developed border-interventions that combine performance, interactive sculpture, photography and video. In 2021, he intertwined simulations and materials from the Arabian Desert in a monument for the 30th anniversary of the end of the Gulf War (1990-91), commissioned by the Kuwait Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale.
Dani Ploeger is an artist and cultural critic who works in a broad range of forms, from media art, installations and film to performance art, anarchist engineering and cultural theory. His artwork has been exhibited worldwide, for example at ZKM Karlsruhe, Venice Architecture Biennale, London Film Festival, transmediale, Museum of Fine Arts Leipzig and the Nairobi National Museum. His book Deserted Devices and Wasted Fences: Everyday technologies in extreme circumstances was published with Triarchy Press in 2021.
Dani is Professor of Performance and Technology at the University of Music and Theater Munich. In addition, he is a Research Fellow at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, Fellow at V2_Lab for the unstable media in Rotterdam and Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Rojava in North-East Syria.

Sculptor, especially in the field of aerospace -
 

My dialogue with space is driven by the doubt about existing forms and the search for a broader perspective: to fall out and look differently. Central themes are world(s) space and the existential question of the place of humans in "spaceship earth". Our actions, our being human, the waste and the traces we leave behind. The chosen form are temporary or often lightweight sculptures made of materials collected and reused from (our own) daily use, the street or construction sites. Among the sculptural heroes are plants and microorganisms, discarded monuments, street furniture or astronauts.

How will we have lived? Who will we have been?
