Giorgi Gago Gagoshidze
Experiment opens up a discussion about how current forms of technology have been facilitating methodologies of massive privatisation specifically since 1989. The starting point for the Experiment are two simultaneous events from the past – the early times of computation attempt in the Soviet Union and the experiment of introducing limited forms of ownership in order to boost the economy. The Experiment is presented in a form of a talk alongside three previous projects - It's Just a Single Swing of a Shovel (2015), The Invisible Hand of My Father (2019) and Mission Accomplished: Balenciege (co-authored with Miloš Trakilović and Hita Steyerl, 2020), that explore the conditions of capitalist production, the mechanisms of commodification and the role of digital technologies in this context.
