noborderZONE In Kassel at DocumentaXI

pressrelease: publixtheatrecaravan




Documenta 11_Platform 6
noborderZONE

friday august 2nd 2002 4pm, Fridericianum Kassel

Freedom of movement realized: platform 6 is a 24 h - performance about mutating
identity, an artivistic intervention in the real, mapping the invisible borders with
living bodies in resistance. The noborderZONE makes research on Biopolitical systems
regrouping state institutions and multinationals to show the increasingly
interconnected network of data-gathering systems of control. ( http://noborder.org,
 http://zone.noborder.org, www.universite-tangente.fr.st)

In the current situation Europe is organizing itself as a fortress, replacing the
inner borders by electronic substitutes which control people and restrict them in
their movement and communication. The platform 6 denounces the precarious position
of people threatened to be deported at any moment.

The noborderZONE is reclaiming an open space for interaction and a laboratory of
resistance and social invention.

A few days ago another 20 Roma families were deported from Germany. The so-called
Residenzpflicht (restricting movement of people by obliging them to have a permanent
address) is the instrument for state repression and deportation. Everybody who does
not enter into the general mold of production and consumption like for instance
migrants, nomads, travellers, precarious, 2nd generation immigrants and the poor are
considered rightless. Neoliberalism with its new defined need of "security" is
producing prejudice and the fear of the "Other".

People move across physical and virtual borders. Artivists challenge the
electronical frontiers through digital and physical communication. States and
multinationals are currently enforcing control of both flows. But information
technology is part of a freefloating culture of resistance and a tool to develop a
society of seemless control.

The platform 6 is standing for the following demands: the right of free choice of
housing and movement, the immediate withdraw of the Residenzpflicht law . In
consequence the Roma families present at the Documenta, as everybody else, must be
free to choose the lives they want to live. Stop the forced and continous
deplacement and deportation of people!

Everybody is welcome to participate in the action:

Presseerklärung: Volxtheaterkarawane

Documenta11_Plattform6
noborderZONE

Freitag, 2. August 2002, Fridericianum Kassel

Bewegungsfreiheit realisieren: Plattform 6 ist eine 24-stündige Performance über
mutierende Identitäten, eine artivistische Intervention im Realen, die
widerständische Körper innerhalb unsichtbarer Grenzen aufzeichnet. Die noborderZONE
erforscht biopolitische Systeme, in denen staatliche Institutionen und
multinationale Konzerne verknüpft sind und zeigt die zunehmende Vernetzung von
datensammelnden Kontrollsystemen auf.( http://noborder.org,  http://zone.noborder.org,
www.universite-tangente.fr.st)

Gegenwärtig organisiert sich Europa als Festung in der die inneren Grenzen durch
elektronische Substitute ersetzt werden, um Menschen zu kontrollieren und ihre
Bewegungs- und Kommunikationsfreiheit einzuschränken. Plattform6 macht auf die
prekäre Situation von Menschen aufmerksam, die jeden Moment abgeschoben werden
können.

Die noboerderZONE schafft einen offenen Raum für Interaktion und ist ein
Laboratorium für Widerstand und soziale Intervention.

Erst vor ein paar Tagen wurden wieder 20 Roma-familien aus Deutschland abgeschoben.
Die sogenannte Residenzpflicht, die die Bewegungsfreiheit von Menschen einschränkt
und einen ständigen Wohnsitz vorschreibt, ist ein Instrument für staatliche
Repression und Abschiebung. Alle die nicht in das System von Produktion und Konsum
passen, wie z.B. MigrantInnen, NomadInnen, VagabundInnen, Obdachlose, ImmigrantInnen
2ter Generation und Arme werden als rechtlos angesehen. Die zunehmende Forderung des
neoliberalen Systems nach mehr "Sicherheit" produziert Vorurteile und Ängste
gegenüber dem Anderen und Fremden.

Menschen bewegen sich physisch und virtuell über Grenzen. ArtivistInnen stellen
elektronische Grenzen durch digitale und physische Kommunikation in Frage.
Staatliche und multinationale Organisationen kontrollieren zunehmend diese beiden
Flüsse und Bewegungen. Informations-technologie ist aber auch ein Teil einer sich
frei bewegenden Widerstandskultur und ein Werkzeug, um an einer Gesellschaft ohne
Kontrolle zu arbeiten.

Plattform6 steht für folgende Forderungen: das Recht auf freie Wahl von Wohnsitz und
Bewegung, die sofortige Abschaffung der Residenzpflicht. Daher sollen die bei der
Dokumenta anwesenden Roma-familien genauso wie alle anderen Menschen frei über ihr
Leben bestimmen können. Stopp der erzwungenen und andauernden Delogierung und
Abschiebung von Menschen!

Alle sind herzlich eingeladen, sich an der Aktion zu beteiligen: Freitag, 2. August
2002, 16 Uhr, Fridericianum
