*Deconstructing a Socialist Lawnmower: (un)obscuring narratives embedded
throughout technology from the German Democratic Republic *with Nadja
Buttendorf <http://nadjabuttendorf.com/>, Sophia Gräfe
<http://www.sophiagraefe.com/> and Darsha Hewitt  <http://www.darsha.org/>//
A panel discussion looking at hidden narratives inside GDR technology.
Nadja will present 'Robotron - a Tech Opera' a DIY YouTube sci-fi soap
opera that explores the development of technology in East Germany, Sophia
will discuss her video essay Ende der Überspielung (End of Copy) that
deconstructs archival training footage from the Ministry for State Security
and Darsha will introduce her works revolving around a GDR lawnmower and
its connection to the culture of repair, recycling and idealized feminism
that proliferated the Socialist state.

"History sits at narrow desks, lies in grey envelopes and in orange and red
binders.» It's the material, specifically the medial foundations of
history, feelings, and memory that encourages my cultural historical
research. Since then, and together with the artist Darsha Hewitt, I've been
thinking about how psychosocial space could be reconstructed in obsolete
technologies."
- Excerpt from limited edition publication with text by Sophia Gräfe -
