IAB 05 curator Giulia Colletti will give a lecture discussing the Biennial and its industrial context at YPC Space in Seoul on 2nd October. Taking its cue from the 1921 miners’ uprising in Labin (Croatia), the 1987 occupation of Taebaek railway station (South Korea), and the stories of women labouring in the Haishan mines (Taiwan), Colletti connects these episodes of resistance to today’s dispersed infrastructures of industrialisation—from data centres to mining facilities and lights-out factories. Through artists’ works and historical fragments, she examines how the extractive logic of mining persists within technological systems, displacking human agency while shaping our sense of justice and belonging. This conversation asks what it means to face the ghosts of the industrial underground when the machinery of production has become imperceptible yet omnipresent.

Introduction to the 5th Industrial Art Biennial (IAB 05)

Dragan Živadinov and Dunja Zupančič 

Informance POSTGRAVITY ART :: NOORDUNG

Post-gravitational art is not a stylistic formation, but rather all art that stems from the thinking and conceptualisation of works of art produced for the near, real universe. Post-gravitational art connects all art forms with new technologies, with the aim of cosmifying art and culturalising the universe.

By merging science and art in a weightless space, post-gravitational artists enable new practices that do not yet have a name. However, they are consistent with the development of the spirit of the 21st century.

From Martian dust storms to automated food production, from ghost fish surviving the toxic legacy of mining to impossible dreams of mind-to-mind communication and other weird technical mythologies. In a roller coaster of facts and speculation (and sometimes hilarious absurdity), these films trace the industrial not as a functional surface but as a spectre that permeates language, memory, biology, and landscape, revealing systemic projects of domination and redesign of the human.
