ŽIVELI TEHNOKLASTI

german version

The idea emerged at the end of 2024 from a feeling that something was missing amid technological progress — a strong opposition, a radical counterforce. I first mentioned it publicly in the interview Great Need for Great Dispute in January 2025, where I coined the term “Technoclasts”, drawing on the tradition of the iconoclasts.

A first visual expression of the idea followed in the form of a poster, conceived as an invocation for this force to emerge. It was shown at Donau-City Church, Vienna, in June 2026, as part of POSITION +, a group exhibition I organized in cooperation with the art gallery gezwanzig. It was hung on the inside of the church’s entrance door — visible on the way out.

The poster appears in three languages and shows raised champagne glasses — a gesture of agreement, a symbolic pact:

Technoclasts are emerging.

Živeli Tehnoklasti!
Hoch leben die Technoklasten!
Long Live the Technoclasts!
