ABOVE AVERAGE
Inspired by the rich history of Haus der Statistik, “Above Average” consists of an ongoing video-sculpture in the window of Trial and Theresa’s temporary project space at the building, using obsolete media, such as tube-Tvs and monitors.

Inside, the product of our collective thinking on the subject of cybernetics and data collection takes the form of visual loops.

Alongside the installation, two curated evenings with talks and lecture performances take place at our satellite location, aquarium in June and July.

About Modellprojekt Haus der Statistik:
Das Modellprojekt Haus der Statistik wird von fünf Kooperationspartnern (Koop5) aus Zivilgesellschaft und Verwaltung kooperativ als Ort zum Wohnen, Leben und Arbeiten entwickelt. Die Erdgeschosse des neuen Quartiers sollen dem Gemeinwohl dienen. Während der Planungs- und Bauphase wird die Basis dafür mit den Pioniernutzungen erarbeitet. Die Pioniernutzungen kommen aus den Bereichen Kultur, Nachbarschaft, Bildung, Soziales, Ernährung & Klima. (mehr: www.hausderstatistik.org/pioniernutzungen)

Above Average: The (mis)uses of data | Saturday, June 12th 2021
Talks and lecture performances on the usages and misusages of data and data collection practices.
As a guest at Haus der Statistik, Trial and Theresa connects to questions of cybernetics, data collection, and recording devices through a video-sculpture at HdS and a talk series at aquarium (Südblock).
The history and current usage of HdS provides a rich backdrop for cultivating utopian ideas. How can we shape equal opportunities and prosperity for everyone in a digitized and automated future?
Thinking away from surveillance capitalism, two satellite events at aquarium delve into data and statistics as they pertain to electronic music and gendered orders, human-cyanobacteria relationships, and queer-feminist digital futures.
