You are matter but you don’t: How knowledge of neuroscience can induce existential dizziness.
One can induce dizziness by engaging in dis­orientating activities such as spinning. Disequilibrium is the sensation of being off balance and is most often characterized by frequent falls in a specific direction.
There is a lot of “queering something” these days, although Queer Theory is certainly not yet part of the major scientific or philosophical discourse. I will argue that dizziness is not just another concept, which needs queering, but that dizziness is fundamentally linked to queerness.
Extending to 'Utrata równowagi' at Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art, Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond curated with Michał Matuszewski six programmes of Austrian and international films.
This screening program is part of the larger networked exhibition and event series Iliggocene-The Age of Dizziness.
This panel discussion considers infrastructure under shifting political, technological, and ecological pressures, asking what visions for a sustainable future might be possible.
