Art as e vidence. In other words, using art to shed light on a world that would oth erwise be invisible. This conceptual framework for exploring the potential of art to uncover facts, expose wrongdoing and raise awareness of social, political and technological issues was coined a decade ago by the film di rector Laura Poitras (Citizenfour, All the Beauty and the Blo odshed). The talk will explore the theme of disruption in relation to art and whistleblowing, proposing an unconventional method to think about computation, that integrates the legal, social, political, and economic f rameworks in which technology is developed and used.

Drawing on th e events and research programme at the Disruption Network Lab in Berlin, G ermany, through the voice of its founder and director Tatiana Bazzichelli and the artistic work of Joana Moll, the lecture traces the background to the concept of art as evidence and the impact of whistleblowing on art and culture. Specific examples and projects from the fields of art, digital c ulture, and social justice will be presented. These include 'Cookies at Wa r: A Somatic Approach to the Kill Cloud', developed by Joana Moll during h er fellowship at the Disruption Network Institute - a new center for inves tigation and empirical research into the impact of artificial intelligence on new technologies of war. The talk will also address the importance of creating networks of trust in times of increasing polarisation and cultura l oppression, bringing together whistleblowers, artists, activists, invest igative journalists, tech experts and researchers.

Conve rsations on Art and Media: Unconventional Computing is a new lecture series with invited guests from the expanded fields of media art and theory, co-organized by members of HfG Karlsruhe and ZKM. During s ummer semester 2025, the series discusses unconventional conceptions and m aterializations of computers as well as alternative ways of dealing with t hem. In the light of the quasi-monopoly of big tech companies and in view of powerful presets and standards, guest lectures and conversations will a ddress the questions: To what extent can computers look or function differ ently? In which ways can we reflect on, perceive or handle computing devic es differently or change them?
