Veranstaltungsbeschreibung: Have you ever shopped at Aliexpress? There are probably a few of you who have never shopped at Amazon, but if you need large quantities of electronic components as materials for your artwork, Aliexpress is a reasonable decision. That is how I opened the door to Aliexpress. When it comes time to jump into the jungle of Aliexpress, there is more chaos waiting for you there than on Amazon. Sometimes you will find products from Kickstarter projects you backed but have not yet received already for sale, or a Captain America-patterned BB-8 that should have never cleared copyright issues, etc. Why do these unethical things happen? Aliexpress gives us a glimpse into Chinese manufacturing culture. There you can sometimes discover creativity hidden in commercial rationality. In the first phase of this workshop (Saturday 17th of June 2023), participants will crawl the Aliexpress website to find interesting products, factor, analyze, and discuss their origins in cultural and archaeological terms, and actually purchase them. In the second phase (24th - 28h of July 2023), we will use the products received and attempt to sublimate them into a form that can be presented as a study by actually using, deconstructing, and exploiting them. * final dates and times will be confirmed via mail.
