Instagram takeover featuring Iris Blauensteiner, Nathalie Koger, Marlies Pöschl and Agnes Wazola
From film on the façade via the word: both a medial as well as formal transgression, The Golden Pixel Cooperative refers to two of their artist film works.

On the one hand, sentences and sensory units from the short film “Half of the Sky” are presented on the BIX media façade of the Kunsthaus Graz. The dialogically composed text of the film is expanded into space - in the spirit of the "importance of one's own place" proclaimed in “Half of the Sky” as the basis of human and artistic existence. During the Diagonale festival week, this intervention moves into a virtual space and thus back into the visual: In an Instagram takeover, members of the cooperative add their own selected images to the text on the façade, or against it.

In a dialogue format, on the other hand, fragments of a chat conversation between several members of the cooperative scroll across the façade. The nature of coexistence in the fragile hybrid space between work and life - the ecosystem of the home office - is questioned. With words in vanishing mode and somewhat tongue in cheek, the images of the Diagonale'22 trailer by The Golden Pixel Cooperative are thus brought into the picture, loyally following the 'evergreen' credo: "You don’t have to be ecological. Because you are ecological".

In cooperation with Kunsthaus Graz and Diagonale’22.
