The event series BCC: Curators Go to The Bar 90+ attempts to confront the themes of post-internet aesthetics and post-digital condition. The project refers to a platform “89+” co-founded by Hans Ulrich-Obrist and Simon Castets, for which so called “post-internet” producers were invited to reflect on the new sensibilities of art production in the digital age. The BCC project aims to discuss such questions as: is there a new paradigm in technologies that affects and constitutes the different way of thinking, seeing, consuming and working? How does “post-internet” art reflect on distribution and frame it? What is “post-internet” and what comes under its umbrella? Be it post-humanism, fragmentation, acceleration, disembodied life, post-institutionalism or other strands of thinking and producing, they still come together under one spell of inevitable speed of distribution.

SANS SOUCI by Hannah Heilmann is a screening soiree gone lecture performance. The internet has brought with it a wave of tentacle and monster sex, often associated with rape fantasies. SANS SOUCI asks if perhaps sex with the Other could, and has been, a place for less boring power exchanges, and presents a band of strange video bedfellows with live commentary and reading, and classical and non-classical intercourses, and a death erection.
