ASPHALT LAB at DAVE Festival 2023

From October 6 – 15, 2023, the tenth edition of DAVE, the festival for club culture, will take place in Dresden. We are very happy that go plastic company has been invited to this big anniversary to perform an ASPHALT LAB as well as an ASPHALTSTUDIEN performance during the festival period at Dresden’s ZENTRALWERK.

ASPHALT LAB

What do skyscrapers and cloud formations have in common? Quite simply: what you make of them by yourself. And the ASPHALTWELTEN app opens up just that in lots of playful challenges: new urban worlds in a very private and interactive focus.

We will find out what exactly such a challenge can look like during a joint ASPHALT LAB workshop of about two hours at the DAVE Festival on October 7, 2023. For this purpose, the participants will go on a short excursion, during which various tasks will be set and implemented: The focus will be on bodies, movement and choreographic arrangements in public space.

All participants of the laboratory workshop will be guided by the artists Cindy Hammer, Momo Fujita Tanner, Joao Pedro De Paula and Susan Schubert.

>>> M ELANCHOLIC  MARATHON

Performative permanent installation at villa/wigman

Based on emotional practice and emotional culture, go plastic explores, creates and sets artistic positions on the state of mind of melancholy. Under the motif of “being in-between”, the collective is interested in a concept of melancholy that does not want everything or nothing, but makes facets and shifts visible and describable. And which, not least, brings into view the remarkable relay race of this elusive but very poignant emotion in the prism of various disciplines such as philosophy, art, aesthetics, sociology, pop culture, psychology, medicine and theology.

As part of the program of SOLO² the go plastic company will share its current state of work on its new production 2023, which will have its world premiere in November 2023. Anyone interested is quite welcome to attend our performative permanent installation at the villa/wigman.

COME OUT AND PLAY. THE CITY IS YOURS.

What do skyscrapers and cloud formations have in common? Quite simply: what you make of them by yourself. And the ASPHALTWELTEN app opens up just that in lots of playful challenges: new urban worlds in a very private and interactive focus.

Fountains become your stage, walkways your playground and parks turn into your individual creative laboratory.

With your smartphone and the ASPHALTWELTEN app, you can discover how much playground there is in your surroundings and how much creativity you have inside of yourself. Experience how your view of your city changes when you spend time in and with it intensively and without distraction. Let yourself be challenged again and again. Every day.

How the app works

The ASPHALTWELTEN app invites you once a day to a small challenge in public space. By using video, photo, text or speech, you are called to complete a task and document it with one of the tools offered within the app. You don’t need any previous knowledge or skills for this. A smartphone, a lot of curiosity and a little creativity are all you need.

More about the ASPHALTWELTEN app can be found here.

The ASPHALTWELTEN app is free of charge, was released on July 5, 2023 and is available at Google Play Store and in the Mac App Store.
