Wurzelgeflecht
Wurzelgeflecht (German for “root network”) is a handbook on founding collectives – and insights into the creative work of artists and cultural workers. It contains (almost) everything you need to start a collective: step-by-step instructions, discussions, and ideas on how we want to work creatively in the future – and why we should stand up for the value of our work right now.
The desire for community is a fundamental human need – a natural process that also occurs in nature. This idea shapes the aesthetics of the handbook. At the same time, it is an experiment: an exploration of the possibilities of artificial intelligence – in the areas of text, code, and image.
The publication is divided into two chapters that combine theory and practice: founding and building collectives, and discussions that address ethical, economic, and educational issues. A handbook for anyone who works creatively and collectively – or wants to become part of a network.
Made as part of the seminar “making (of a) public” at UdK Berlin, led by Prof. Franziska Morlok with Jasmina Begović and Felix Walser.
