In December 2022, the artwork Circuit Flow went around the world in the media as an art-in-architecture project for the unfinished FC Tössfeld changing room building. Among others, 20 Minuten, Bild-Zeitung, Der Landbote, SRF, Die Zeit, NZZ and the Guardian reported on the artwork. Circuit Flow polarised and (once again) sparked a debate about arts meaning, what it could and should be.
The publication Repost - Circuit Flow is a review of the events surrounding the art-in-architecture project realised by Stefanie Kägi and Maureen Kägi. The extent of the shitstorm and hate speech is analysed while contents of the artwork as well as the background and processes of the events are presented.
The texts are by Sibylle Omlin (art historian for art in public space, Switzerland), Larissa Kikol (art historian, Germany), Marie-Alice Schultz (author, Germany), Daniela Janjic (theatre author, Switzerland). The authors mainly focus on communication, art in architecture and the public sphere.
ZARA (Counselling Centre for Hate on the Internet, Vienna) explains the rights and options for action of those affected to counteract hate speech. Finally, a comic strip puts all those involved - the artists, the city council, the press and the public - in their cliché roles and sets the events into a satirical narrative.
