unraveled - the art-werk podcast#9 Zheng Bo. How Can We Think Beyond Human Exceptionalism?In this podcast we speak with Chinese artist Zheng Bo about social participative practices, a post-anthropocentric world, the meaning of knowledge in both Western and Chinese culture, and the current political situation in a time of pandemic and multipolarization of powers.
Zheng Bo’s biography and artistic practice give insight on his plurilocal experience between the US, Mainland China and Hong Kong. With the experience of different political environments, he developed a practice oriented with social engaged art and added a main focus since nearly a decade on botany and ecosystem.

unraveled - the art-werk podcast#7 Henrike Naumann. How did objects lose their innocence?At a time when few people spoke about right-wing violence, it was already on Henrike Naumann’s mind. The artist reacted directly to current events–the resurgence of nationalist violence, and the discovery of the terrorist underground network NSU.
She combines secondhand furniture from the 80s and 90s and makes videos which she integrates in her immersive installations. They tell stories of old and new fascism as well as of youth cultures during globalisation.
Only a few days after the terror attack in the German city of Hanau, and with the right on the rise in German parliaments, we visited her...2020-03-2300 min

unraveled - the art-werk podcast#5 What’s left of the lost? Interview with artist Dane Mitchell on the New Zealand pavilionFor the final episode of our Venice Special, we’d like to take you to the pavilion of New Zealand. It is housed in the Palazzina Canonica, right by the bank of the Canale Grande. However, the work by the artist Dane Mitchell is not immediately visible. The corridors and staircases of the Neo-Renaissance palace built in 1911 are empty, safe for the occasional piece of furniture. At the heart of the building, there is the library, whose walls are lined with dark, wooden bookshelves. They, too, are empty. Only in the middle of the well-lit room, is a rack with a...2019-09-2500 min

unraveled - the art-werk podcast#2 - Will Artificial Intelligence become the new artist? - Egor Kraft / Lev ManovichArtificial Intelligence has become a part of our daily lives. It acts as personal assistant, recommends and selects the content we see on our Facebook or Twitter feeds.

In the second part of this episode we linked it to a review of the essay AI Aesthetic by Lev Manovich. Artificial Intelligence takes part in the selection of images, for instance through the automatic analysis of pictures. But it is also able to create.
