„Change can only happen, when you add emotions in the mix. And role models, who encourage others. That is the recipe of GLOBART.” (Heidemarie Dobner)
For the nineteenth time, the GLOBART Academy took place in Krems. Guest speakers included trend researcher Harry Gatterer, historian Philipp Blom, education expert Stephan A. Jansen, philosopher Lisa Herzog, philosopher Michael Madary, internet expert Sarah Spiekermann, data privacy expert Aral Balkan and Silvia Lindtner, an expert regarding the Maker Scene. Others who taught us to have faith in unconventional projects were the 18 year old student Mizgin Sönmez, Valerie Mühlenburg of the Café The Connection, who talked about integration as well as Jonathan Mayer whose topic was sustainable logistics. A dinner with friends, a direct encounter between families who had seek refuge in Austria, with home made oriental dishes, eaten and shared on carpets on the floor, was one of the most impressive evenings of this year’s academy. Artistic highlights included the dance performance of a group of young migrants, a contemporary concert by The Common Blue and a classical concert of Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Markus Hinterhäuser.
Michael Haneke has a breathtaking look on the essential with a whiff of poetry. Not the associable, but the occurence, the real and the unbelievable are visible as well as perceptible in his cinematic works of art. Intense, genuine and authentic-immoveable: that’s what Michael Haneke’s movies are all about.
With the bestowal of this year’s GLOBART Award, we want to appreciate Michael Haneke, a human and artist who masterly directs our sight towards realities which surround us.

KLOSTER UND
Are we short on work – or are we just losing the overview? The re-invention of the working world is in full swing. Are we allowed to be thrilled if robots are relieving us of our routine work – or is the loss of jobs affecting our society’s substance? New questions call for new answers.

RATHAUS
How does human-oriented and environmentally-compatible shopping look like in the future? Where do our everyday products come from? How are they transported to us? What are the repercussions of my online order? How can we consume consciously and what does this even mean? What will the future’s shopping malls look like? Are we going to be supplied by drones and self-driving lorries? And where does all that leave us humans?
Experts of economics, science and politics will discuss these issues and depict the possibilities.
Moderation: FERDINAND KOCH (denkstatt GmbH)

The discussions about possibilities and limits of the medium of film and its multiplied options of reception – from movie theater to smart phone – have gained a new intensity in the light of current geo-political events. Can the motion picture effectively reproduce reality while displaying the truth to the audience or are movies generating an utterly unique and new reality? Is there (still) such a thing as a documentary film or is every pictorial world anyhow subjected to narrative impulses? With selected movie clips and catchy core issues, central questions about our present-day world of media will be discussed.
Filmscreening and subsequent discussion with director JAKOB BROSSMANN
Moderation: KATHARINA KREUTZER
MAGDALENA CHOWANIEC and MANI OBEYA
It was a long and perilous journey. They have braved a passage which thousands so far, who were also on the run and in search of safety, had to pay for with their life. Initiated by the choreographic platform D.ID founded by Liz King, Magdalena Chowaniec and Mani Obeya have created an intense piece together with a group of refugees from Somalia, Côte d’Ivoire and Afghanistan about their respective odysseys. What does water signify for them now? Songs, dances and the words that make up their accounts serve the young men to extricate their bodies from the deadly force of the sea.

The Common Blue is the name of a butterfly. Blue is also a synonym for a certain musical mood. The Common Blue perform songs by Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, Fever Ray, Franz Schubert, Arctic Monkeys, Agnes Obel, Peter Gabriel, The Beatles and many more, which are given an entirely new sound by virtue of Kiara Hollatko’s charismatic voice and the sensitive instrumental accompaniment of her fellow musicians. Elements of diverse music genres melt into the band’s characteristic and unique Sound-Continuum.

KLOSTER UND
“Come on, let’s build a new world!” – The Maker-Movement aims to return production back into our hands. The pursuit of profit should be substituted by democratic manufacturing processes. The objective of the protagonists is to solve a technical problem by own means without the use of costly special solutions. Crafting, building, inventing, experimenting, learning, recycling, inspiring and above all fun and joy in the community should be in the centre of this new development.
The workshop offers brand-new perspectives on familiar materials while generating innovative ideas for product development or discovering solutions or new application possibilities for existing products.
Moderation: MICHAEL WIESMÜLLER (BMVIT)
Panel: ARNO AUMAYR (Maker Austria), SILVIA LINDTNER (University of Michigan), MARTIN FRITZ (publicist), SEPP EISENRIEGLER (Reparatur-und Service Zentrum R.U.S.Z)

KLOSTER UND
The social market economy’s model of success is under pressure. Globalization, new technologies and shifts in the labour markets are threatening the welfare state’s financing bases and the inter-generational contract while at the same time the real economy is suffering under the consequences of the financial crisis.
Our economy’s value-compass requires a new adjustment. Where are adequate points of reference for a coherent regulatory recommencement – beyond supply and demand?
Moderation: WILFRIED STADLER (Economics Journalist)
Panel: LISA HERZOG (Stanford University), PETER KIRCHSCHLÄGER (University Luzern), SIGRID STAGL (WU Vienna)
THE VINEYARDS OF KREMS
The workshop, taking place in Krems’s vineyards, offers the participants a space to experiment with philosophical texts via reflections and exercises for extended readings. What happens for instance if the act of reading is happening in sign language or by means of an artistic performance? The workshop focusses on connecting processes between distinct reading attitudes in the day-to-day life, science and art.
Moderation: MERSOLIS SCHÖNE (science studies, art) und JOEL SZONN (humanities scholar, arts-based research)
KLOSTER UND
A new perspective on migrating, being foreign, wanting to be accepted and becoming a part of a society.
An interactive workshop to the eponymous exhibition.
Moderation: CAMILO ANTONIO (Urban Nomad Mixes) and ION NECULAI (eematico)
Which reality do we live in and in which one do we wish to live in? This question is central to the GLOBART Academy 2016.
What will we respond to our children when they ask us what went on with the refugees from Syria? Why there was not enough space in Europe? Why some wanted to help and others not? What people where afraid of? Which contribution each person can make to make our communities more peaceful?
On this evening we will search for answers to these questions together with Act.Now and our guests – with statements, cultural diversity, friendship and numerous encounters – with things that everyone enjoys, no matter where they are from: eating together, making music, discussing, listening, exchanging thoughts and making new friends.
We would like to invite you cordially to our
Banquet – An Evening with Friends
with BARBARA FRISCHMUTH (author and translator), REINHARD RESCH (Mayor of Krems), MARIA KLUGE (Club for Awareness Osterloh), PATRICIA KAHANE (Act.Now), HARALD SCHINDLEGGER*
