The intersectional online and offline network cc:IRL, which I co-founded in 2020, explores possibilities of alliance against the strengthening right-wing extremism. Creating a counterweight to the very well-connected right-wing extremist scene will only work if we break down existing echo chambers, network broadly, and show solidarity. cc:IRL wants to develop aesthetic strategies in order to create sustainable resonance spaces in the digital and the analog. Through a constantly growing network, echo chambers are to be actively transcended and bridges between online and offine(irl) spaces are to be created. The goal is to strengthen democracy with diverse impulses.

First action was a workshop funded by Stiftung Kunstfonds, which created the basis of the network in 2021. Co-founders were Tarika Johar and Alice Chardenet and co-participants in the workshop for instance Marta Vovk, Andrea Karch or Anna Ehrenstein. 

The workshop resulted in a TikTok and an Instagram account. At the end of 2021 we organized a talk in the digital space of the Lenbachhaus in Munich. Furthermore, cc:IRL is the content of Alice Chardenet's master thesis (Curatorial Studies Städelschule/Goetheuni Frankfurt/Main). At the moment an exhibition and a VR work is planned.

ALGOIST is an interdisciplinary and participatory artists’ collective. 
We started in 2017 with an exhibition in the project space “Maus Habitós” and interventions in the public space of Porto (Portugal). 
In 2018 we organized the 6-week art festival CONVIVIUM in the project space Erratum in Berlin. With Alice Chardenet, I showed the continuation of the performative work PROCEDERE, which also took place in Porto in 2017. A multi-spatial situation was installed in which the handstand was to be learned in a workshop form, as well as a lecture on space, Henri Lefebvre, Paris May 1968 and the last great historical avant-garde movement, the Situationist International.
ETERNIA, which also took place during CONVIVIUM, was a collaborative work with Natascha Schönaich. The immersive installation created the framework of a sensorium in which light, olfactory elements, sensation, intellectual reflection, etc. were combined with painting. At present we are increasingly working with technology and are programming a “Lovebot” and are developing a project in which artificial intelligence interacts with visitors in real time in a large-scale installation.
SORGEN (INTERNATIONAL) is a artists’ collective consisting of Emma Adler, Julie Legouez, Neels Voqt, Marta Vovk and myself and deals with the theme of branding and the role of art in the current economic system. As a quasi-persiflage, we establish a non-existent product through social media, merchandising and events such as launches, which thus become exhibitions and question not only a mere critique of society and consumption, but also conceptions of reality and the real.
