Abstract
Impossible Escapes is an escape and evasion map publication developed
and distributed in collaboration with Neural magazine and transmediale
festival Berlin. The project addresses illusive tendencies to escape –
be it from technology, society, or earth – and gathers various
strategies of how to handle this most modern impetus of escaping.
Technoculture promises many ways out of our problematic modernity and we
keep running away from ourselves in iteration. But it is more than
doubtful, that escape is truly possible – or desirable. How can we
nevertheless value the benefits of escape as a temporary gesture,
movement or process? What might be forms of effective everyday
micro-escapes? And what could be alternative notions and attitudes to
confront our problems?
The map publication was exclusively distributed through special editions
of Neural magazine’s issue 56 (which also features an essay about the
project) as well as throughout the 2017 anniversary edition of
transmediale festival “ever elusive” in Berlin. As part of the festival
program, three parallel workshop sessions took place at different exits
of Haus der Kulturen der Welt, the festival’s venue. The workshop was
concluded by a field trip around the building, led by invited artist
Leanne Wijnsma, who has made digging tunnels an essential part of her
artistic practice.
