The London/Berlin art and theory collective 0xSalon arrives at Onkaos with an unpredictable experience that embraces randomness to disrupt conventional formats such as the panel discussion.
For the past few years, 0xSalon has been developing a narrative role-playing game in the form of a theory-inspired tarot-style card deck. With FAU0X SALON, participants are invited to role-play and steer conversations from perspectives beyond their own, opening up exchanges that would otherwise be impossible.
Following a short introduction to 0xSalon and their activities conducted by Wassim Z. Alsindi, we will activate the FAU0X SALON deck to facilitate performative conversations around the politics of contemporary intellectual and creative production, networked culture, and the ways cartomancy can unlock new generative, playful, and pedagogical potentials.
17 October, from 18:30 to 20:30h
SOLO CSV. Cuesta de San Vicente 36. 28008 Madrid (Spain)
