Progress Bar
Progress Bar aims to represent radical equality, communality and hopefulness. It showcases a growing community of artists, academics and activists who occupy clubs for a better politics. When confronted with the world of today – institutional inequality, neofascism, platform capitalism, austerity and a dying planet – being happy becomes a political act. This special edition of Progress Bar features hybrid performances and live sound-world assemblages by some of the most defiant voices, DJs, multimedia artists and poets, throughout all corners of Paradiso.
Performances in the Kelder will be accented by HALO, an installation by Andrea Belosi and Tomasz Skibicki creating an immersive spatial experience. Half skeleton, half ghost, the solid frame and its projected images act as a messenger between the audience and the artists playing.
