Steven Schoch

Nominee 2019

«00:00:00:00 (Aargauer Kunsthaus)», 2019

Aspects of Schoch’s earlier works are expanded in this performance. For example,the artist has been developing the content of a manifesto since 2018. He translates its postulates into music, language and improvisation that merge into an atmospheric performance. Schoch advocates the return of humankind’s creative ability to set socio- political changes in motion. The artist deepens his theme by unveiling (mistaken) beliefs about digital posting – namely, the delusion that one can actively influence world events through participation and exchange on the internet.
