Private: How Do I Explain It to My Timeline?

Portfolio: portfoliolegend3_Schwazer

A durational performance shall help to wrap my mind around this. Since September, I am creating a meme every day, talking about ideas, the daily grind, my art, con-fronting information and news with my own picture. Something emerges –– I cannot just yet say what exactly it is. I publish the memes on my homepage, they become part and create a sphere where millions of other portraits are taken and uploaded in real-time. Sometimes I can’t say what was first, the meme or the day.

When does a day start anyway? Or end? When the clock strikes midnight? Or when I leave the dancefloor, sip my espresso, smoke that first cigarette … It shouldn’t be numbers that dictate our daily routine, but questions and hope.

So let us create a peculiar time system based on the poetics of the meme: the SUPRAINFINIT Calendar. I want to upload memes on the Akademie’s social media channels, every meme will mark a new day, time will expand, collapse, maybe even in the same moment –– and render the expansion of the SUPRAINFINITE Universe.
