STATISTA KONFERENZ 

Photo: Victoria Tomaschko 

Welcome to STATISTA. One of many “Pioneer  Usages” at the Haus  der Statistik, all pointing  to bottom-up models of urban   statecraft beyond gentrification. 

KONGRESS 

Nine collectives are invited to present their work at the STATISTA  conference, September  13-16. Their common ground:  unapologetic  long term agendas, neighborhood engagement,  and  a group investment in both artistic  production and urban politics.

STATISTA Conference 
From broken windows theory to birdshit utopianism we catch up with  the masters of disaster in their latest reconfiguration: the STATISTA  Conference at Haus der Statistik, Berlin. 

Join sub_ʇxǝʇ for live coverage and debate with a renewed network of  actors from across the globe as we problematise the concerns of  citizens fighting the monster of urban development for urban  development’s sake. 

Given the radical assertion of citizen-state power to reclaim the Haus  der Statistik from private speculation to deliver it into the hands of  citizens, artists and initiatives, sub_ʇxǝʇ will explore how utopianism or  utopian thinking perceives absence as presence and birdshit as benefit  while exploring correlations to the digital urban commons and other  forms of speculative crypto-capitalism. 

Clearly the logic of city privatisation displaces its citizens. But what  about the securitisation we are constantly told is the price of our digital  privacy: the exchange of highly personal data for digital services? As the  state becomes beholden to huge data gathering extra-national  corporations where, finally, will those who cannot afford to rent a place  in that city, or a space outside of that security actually be? 

In a world of capital gone topsy-turvy we dare to ask: why can it not all  simply ‘be different’?
