In times of polycrisis, the acute experience of a continuous state of exception leads to a confusing and frustrating condition, characterised by an inadequacy of language and other forms of connective possibility and contextualisation. Iliggocene – The Age of Dizziness proposes artistic positions that seek new vocabularies for these states of dizziness.

What will the future look like? How can we imagine future in a time that seems determined by various crises? And what will be the role of artistic research in this? Nowadays it turns out to be difficult to provide a meaningful answer to that kind of problem statements. It seems that such a thing as a future, or imagining another world, or speculating about it, has been completely taken away from us. At this point, as Boris Groys recently stated in Philosophy of Care, our only hope appears to be that life doesn’t get any worse than it already is.
