\nDas Ende der Reproduktion<\/strong>
\nAV installation by Seppo Gr\u00fcndler<\/a>
\nin cooperation with idk (Institute of Design and\u00a0Communication), FH Joanneum
\nopening: Seppo Gr\u00fcndler
\nopening hours 26. 3. – 11. 4. 2019 tue, wed, thur 15h \u2013 19h<\/p>\n

The installation addresses aspects of transhumanism. From the\u00a0optimistic prognoses of immortality to the ideal of complete control\u00a0and the cancellation of differences and genders. Along with the\u00a0transhuman image and sound material, the installation is based on the results of a survey conducted in St. P\u00f6lten. Passersby were asked whether we should reproduce in a test tube or purely electro-technically.<\/p>\n

\nKryostase<\/strong>
\nAudiovisuelle Performance with Seppo Gr\u00fcndler<\/a>, Elisabeth Schimana<\/a>, Norbert Math<\/a>, u.a.<\/p>\n

Absolute zero, flash freezing, and the hope of thawing and reanimation. Will future medicine and technology restore the health and youth of the deep-frozen person, or will their frozen bodies shatter like a rose dipped into liquid nitrogen or become mushy like a frozen cucumber? In this performance, processes of freezing and thawing illustrate the absurdity and the beauty of cryonics.<\/p>\n

\nThereminperformance by Olesya Rostovskaya<\/a><\/p>\n

Lev Theremin, inventor of the theremin, one of the first electronic instruments, was also intrigued by immortality. When Theremin learned that Lenin \u2013 to whom he had presented his instrument in 1921 \u2013 had been chopped up after death, his appalled reaction was: Why did you cut him up? I could have brought him back to life, but now that\u2019s impossible!<\/p>\n
