Against Immunisation: Boxing as a Technique for Commoning

Supported by

Description of project
The score "Against Immunisation: Boxing as a Technique for Commoning" proposes to rethink the concept of the commons in a counterintuitive fashion. If we conceived of boxing not as a concept of masculinity and violence or the survival of the fittest, but as a moment of intense negotiation of border space, contagion and border linking, then it might serve as a technique to unlearn the building blocks of possessive individualism and the figure of the “proper.” Boxing is a moment of “border swerving, border linking and border-spacing” (Ettinger), rendering permeable the borderlines of our “proper” subjects. As a nonverbal, bodily dialogue it transgresses the very borderlines that we elsewhere seek to protect. During sparring I deliberately forgo this established immunity – my contours become vulnerable through the mutuality of the touch: My fist touches and is being touched at the same time. "Open Scores" brings together 16 practices through which artists articulate forms of (digital) commons. From online archives, to digital tools/infrastructure and educational formats, the projects envision a (post-)digital culture in which notions of collaboration, free access to knowledge, sustainable use of shared resources and data privacy are central. Participants: Dušan Barok (monoskop.org), Marcell Mars & Tomislav Medak (memoryoftheworld.org), Sebastian Lütgert & Jan Gerber (0xdb.org), Sean Dockray (aaaaarg.fail), Ruth Catlow & Marc Garrett (furtherfield.org), Constant (Michael Murtaugh, Femke Snelting & Peter Westenberg), Laurence Rassel (erg.be), Stefanie Wuschitz (Mz* Baltazar’s Lab), Panayotis Antoniadis (nethood.org), Mario Purakthofer (www.dock18.ch), Alessandro Ludovico (neural.it), Eva Weinmayr (andpublishing.org), Kenneth Goldsmith (ubu.com), Zeljko Blace (#QUEERingNETWORKing), Sakrowski (curatingyoutube.net), Spideralex, Tactical Tech, Creating Commons.
