“This is more a process of distortion, slippage, or adding catalytic friction than actual disruption, because I have witnessed the mutual parasitism between corporations and the cultural sphere too often to think that the notion of an artistic “disruption,” now, is anything other than a chimera.”
(Carey Young, Liam Gillick: Adjusted and Corrupted, London 2001)

Join us for a Saturday evening warm up pitch at the pseudo-martial-company Marshalling Inc. As part of transmediale & CTM Vorspiel, during the peak of both festivals, we aim to elaborate further on the junction of artistic and business strategies featuring a lecture performance and minimal-industrial soundscapes.

Marshalling Inc., operated by Technologie und das Unheimliche, is an interdisciplinary, in situ installation based on sterile office fantasies and the corporate aesthetics of the arms industry. The term ‘marshalling’, originally used in medieval heraldry and lately in computer science, refers to the act of assembling, positioning and transmuting coats of arms or series of data into a certain order.

Dedicated to this rationalized movement, we invited specialists from Central-Eastern Europe in an attempt to synchronize the independent art sphere with corporate interests. Supported by their individual backgrounds in art and company culture, together we strive to overcome the chimera and dissolve in a trans global, corporate “we”.

Jacques Kustod (Exitab)
Jacques Kustod is an alter-ego of the experimental musician, producer and promoter Andrej Kabal currently residing in Bratislava. His real persona, though, an employee of one of the biggest corporations on cultural knowledge exploitation, is the best example for how the corporate system can be hacked and glitched from the inside. His day job is as much about mind-hacking as his experiments of consciousness-alteration at night. With his performance he will create an intense atmosphere through psychedelic drone based sounds.
