Nothing works anymore, the plug is out, the grounding lost & digitalization and media art thought to the end. Economically as well as ecologically not sustainable. No matter whether fossil or solar, the renewable throwaway society. It's actually quite simple - unplug and good. The immaterial disintegrates again into nothing and the electric lambs are silent again. Finally AI break, AI sabbatical, time for reorientation. That's not who we are!

When the last plug is pulled and the last grounding is cut, Cold Heaven seems very close.

Is there life after electricity?
Who's gonna pull the plug on us?

Media art - something with electricity.

In PLUS MINUS GROUND WIRE the examination of electricity as a material, its immateriality and our unconditional dependence manifests itself in the form of a greatly enlarged plug.

The fork project PLUS MINUS ADAM, shown as a poster, was realized by STWST at the invitation by Felix Pöchhacker and Christel Kiesel and in the setting of /Flur/4/, temporary platform for art in rural space.
/Flur/4/ - 51°43'53.9N 13°44'58.8E, Crinitz/Niederlausitz/Brandenburg.

A project by Stadtwerkstatt / STWST (A):
For the realisation at the limit of what is possible, i.e. planning and construction: Jan-Nahuel Jenny, taro, Bastian Lehner, Lukas Claushues. Helping Hands: Micha Gerersdorfer, Rebecca Strasser-Kirchweger
Driving force and idea: Jan-Nahuel Jenny and Tanja Brandmayr.

The STWST has existed since 1979 and is the first autonomous art and culture house in Linz. From the very beginning, the STWST has been associated with a self-image of initiative, activism, subculture and, not least, with a practice of art contexts that are constantly being redefined.
