It’s our pleasure to welcome our next subnetAIR in June: Stefanie Schröder! Tuesday, June 3rd, she will present her project and talk about her work.
ABOUT:
Stefanie Schröder on her project:
„I am particularly interested in the documentary potential of art – whether intentional or unintentional. Along the question of the function of texts and images, I collage fragmentary narrative reports that often originate from long-term observations. In doing so, I try to combine a documentary approach with strategies from conceptual and performance art. For many years, I have been dealing with the framework conditions of (my) artistic production and with precarious workcircumsatnces. So far, I have created the video loop „Ein Bild abgeben“, the two-channel video „40h, max 2 Monate“ and most recently the PowerPoint performance „Eine unsichere Bank“. This work deals with the culture of rating, ranking and awarding stars in the city and in virtual space and with the generation and artistic reuse of training data sets for AI.
In Salzburg, I would like to continue working on this project and try to bring the film out of the screening room and onto the street. Therefore, I plan to experiment with low-tech mobile recording devices and augmented reality apps and use them on routes given to me by clickworking apps through the city, which I will follow to check supermarkets, billboards, shopping malls, gas stations. In addition to my own recordings, I would like to interview other clickworkers (online) to create a sound layer from voiceovers.“
