INSTANTERNITY. A BLACK BOX BODY CULT erkundet und kartographiert die automatisierten Finanzmärkte mittels forensischer Expertise und bildender, performativer und digitaler Kunst. Nestler und Eckermann entwerfen mit dem Finanzexperten und Whistleblower Haim Bodek und den Performern eine performative Imagination des Algorithmischen, seiner Relevanz und spezifischen Kultur. Das Projekt übersetzt eine jenseits menschlicher Wahrnehmung prozessierte Gegenwart in sprachliche und körperliche Ausdrucksformen, die dieser „Technologie der Zukunft“ nachspüren, um sie spürbar zu machen.
Der Tanz der Algorithmen löst Prozesse und Aktionen aus, die zunehmend in die Räume des Sozialen und in die Körper eindringen. Ihre Choreographien basieren auf diskreten mathematischen Partituren, deren Wirkmächtigkeit eine neue Sprache der Macht einläuten: sie vermittelt sich weniger über bekannte Figuren der Repräsentation, sondern verwandelt, was sie berührt, in kompetitive Performance. Flüchtige, volatile Schwingungen löschen eingeübte Verhaltensweisen und soziale Konventionen aus und entwerfen ein Regime, das eine ‚conditio posthumana’ ständiger Bewegung, Adaption und Verwertung suggeriert. Risiko definiert sich hier als paradigmatische Voraussetzung für das Agieren im Ungewissen und somit als Teilnahme- bzw. Ausschlusskriterium.
INSTANTERNITY geht der Frage nach, welche Kunst-, Kultur- und Körpertechniken wir entwickeln können, um der abstrakten Komplexität der Finanzmärkte und dem daraus resultierenden Wahrnehmungsvakuum neue Erkenntnispotentiale entgegenzustellen.
INSTANTERNITY. A BLACK BOX BODY CULT wird auf Englisch stattfinden. Das Resultat wird im Anschluss vom 7.4.-15.4.2017 in einer Ausstellung zu sehen sein.

He is working on an “aesthetics of resolution” that produces counter-fictions and -imaginations for “renegade activism.” Nestler graduated from the Academy of fine arts Vienna (1992) and worked as a broker and trader (1994-97) to investigate financial markets as an artist. His work has been shown internationally and has received many grants and awards.
