intervalla: Volume 10, 2022
Dystopian visions, alternate temporalities
Editors: Gabriel Gee, Johanna Fassl
Dystopian projections in a range of mediums from film to literature have long accompanied the history of modernity and its conflicted streams of innovation and dissolution. In the early twenty-first century, environmental pressure together with ongoing globalized socio-political confrontations continue to feed dysfunctional and apocalyptic visions of human and non-human societies. In parallel, this increasing preoccupation with the contradictions of the present has led artists to explore alternate temporal locations, hetero-temporalities, from the vast arches of deep time to the micro-furrows of the interstices in the flow of consciousness. Volume 10 of Intervalla brings together a selection of artistic investigations into asymmetrical imagination, uncanny socio-political repurposing, and non-linear temporal invention.
