Gerald (Gerhard) Nestler

This lively conversation features Sylvia Eckermann, an innovative media artist from Vienna, and Gerald Nestler, an artist and theorist with insights from finance. They discuss the concept of ‘HOTHOUSE,’ exploring how artists can advocate for democracy amidst crises like climate change. They redefine demonstration as collaborative action, highlight the intertwining of art with civic engagement, and address the idea of the 'derivative condition'—a reflection on how financial turbulence affects societal futures. Their insights into resistance and adaptability ignite a thought-provoking dialogue.
