A series of mediated encounters or experiments in reading between technical devices – with the screen space as a medium for dispersed intimacies and distracted actions. The Slow Reading Club, a first time guest at radialsystem as part of the online-programme “New Empathies – Far from a distance”, draws little distinction between the interfaces and the bodies, the architectures, the devices, and texts they cluster: rooms vista onto rooms. The series “YES” of the SLC includes a number of stand-alone sessions in the course of May for small groups to meet and read together, interfering the interface, drawing it as a mutable participant within the experience of reading… On four evenings in May, the Slow Reading Club invites you to three intimate online-reading sessions, in which two artists* and two participants* read selected texts. It’s part of the artistic concept that themes and texts will not be announced or sent out by the Slow Reading Club until the day of the event. On May 14th, a collective reading evening will take place in a larger group.
The Slow Reading Club provides documents and protocols of the sessions.
In english language.
Free admission, participation after registration at register@radialsystem.de
