MYTH OF THEUTH comes to Vienna!

On 7 March 2018 it will be pre­sent­ed at the depot, the room for art and dis­course, start­ing at 7 pm. On this evening the game will be played by:

• Sylvia Eck­er­mann, media artist, http://syl-eckermann.net
• Katha­ri­na Gsöll­point­ner, media the­o­rist, Uni­ver­si­ty of Applied Arts Vien­na, http://www.katharinagsoellpointner.at

MYTH OF THEUTH is a media-philo­soph­i­cal board game devel­oped by the Aus­tri­an art col­lec­tive qujOchÖ. While walk­ing through ancient Athens, up to sev­en peo­ple gath­er dif­fer­ent media and get in touch with media-philo­soph­i­cal celebri­ties from the ancient world to the present. Vilém Flusser dri­ves aside the telem­at­ic soci­ety ad nau­se­am, Lau­ra Mul­vey takes a joy­ful look at our mem­o­ry and Mar­shall McLuhan final­ly gets his well-deserved mes­sage. Smart­phones, news­pa­pers, Lego bricks, sleep­ing masks, stamps and oth­er media are used through twelve unique stations.
