2022-05-13, Gisler, Priska, Caviezel, Flavia

During the conference of the Swiss Artistic Research Network SARN, Flavia Caviezel and Priska Gisler (SARN working group Methods & Practices) conceptualize and organize a one-day workshop on mobility, transport and storage of visible and invisible, liquid, solid, ephemeral goods in the border region of Southern Switzerland; in collaboration with SUPSI. This workshop 'Stop or Go' offers the opportunity to discuss, reflect and experience ideas, wishes and artistic work while visiting two concrete sites that are both typical protagonists regarding the circulation and storage of material and ideal goods. The workshop consists primarily of two parts: The day will start with a site visit to the data storage centre CSCS Lugano. Intertwined with a tour, two artistic-research projects will be presented there. In the afternoon, we travel to Chiasso/Balerna in order to visit the bonded warehouse Punto Franco with a tour and get to know different approaches by two artistic and design researchers. Morning and afternoon tour: Site visit to the CSCS, the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre in Lugano and Site visit to Punto Franco (bonded warehouse) in Chiasso/Balerna Details on the conference website: https://traversingtopologies.org/program-2022
