BLACKBENZ RACE- Projektentwicklung im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts
Kunst Zürich Öffentlichkeit, www.stadtkunst.ch, 2005

The BlackBenz Race is a semi-fictional car race outlined as a public art inter-
vention in Zurich and as well into the transnational Albanian migration space in
Europe. Over the last years the Albanians in Switzerland have been discriminated
and politized in the local mass media as speeders/racers that endanger public
order. Knowbotic research, the theoretician Felix Stalder and three Albanian
social and asyl workers, Arben Gecai, Osman Osmani and Faton Topalli, all living
in Zurich, are trying to open out of this local discrimination practice a space for
an translocal experimental art project: A trip with black cars through the Alban.
migrant routes, starting and returning to Zurich which will manifest visually as a
car race i.e. this quite ordinary car trip will be designed, documented and
mediatized in the style of existing illegal car races through Europe. The race
participants, Albanian migrants and Swiss artists will transmit and publish movies
on a "racing site" in the internet, report via sms text messages and "race" infos
out of the cars to LED displays in the city of Zurich and to local swiss-albanian
newspapers.




PASSION5 [Performance] 2 - 3 November, Puls 5, Zürich

The intervention Passion5 by Knowbotic Research is an atmospheric installation
about different forms of passion: the passion of political activism in street
protests, and the passion of scientific research, articulating playful curiosity with sytems of public order.
Passion5 reflects the current state of political agency, and its limits. Slogans and chants from street demonstrations mutate into pure sounds, transmitted by an urban street cleaning vehicle. Simultaneously, an engineer is trying to build a
flight robot that will navigate autonomously, tracking the indoor space. The
robot is an ambiguous mobile scanner, guarding the space, controlling movements and behaviour, attracting empathy and attention.
