Sebastian Lütgert (Pirate Cinema Berlin)
What happened to sharing, what happened to caring?
In a u-turn of events that may come as a surprise to some, and less so to
others, Sebastian Lütgert of Pirate Cinema Berlin, an institution known for its
fierce pro-copyright-infringement stance and strict anti-carelessness policy in
recent months, will announce the discovery of several serious flaws in two
widely shared practices and deeply cared-about concepts, namely: "sharing" and
"caring".
Initially conceived as "What happened to 'Sharing Is Caring'?" (a popular
pirate slogan from the pre-Facebook-era), this first-of-its-kind analog
slideshow-cum-commentary is supposed to articulate a growing discomfort with
commodified human interactions on "social media", to lament rather poignantly
certain fashion phenomena in the art world anno 2020ff, and to radically
question the role of both "sharing" and "caring" as coping mechanisms
during "the current situation", which, in the eyes of Pirate Cinema, is not
primarily a global pandemic or psychosis, but a wide-open invitation to
flatten, once and for good, the many exponentials of everyday life, artistic
production and extractive social relations - an accelerating pile-up of
individual ecological mini-crises and nervous breakdowns that form the global
ecolocigal disaster most commonly known as "capitalism".
TL;DR: Oversharing and overcaring are two of the four horsemen of our 2020
calamities. (Horsemen three and four will be announced later this year.)
