New forms of (neoliberal) affective regulation seem not coincidentally to have developed parallelly to the rise of a „new species” of human beings: the so-called „enraged citizen“, a medial figure of ambi-valence, settled between shaken civilian obedience and a presumed connection to German right-wing movement “Pegida”.
The PRO: TEST SONG ORIGINATOR aims at creating alternative spaces for affective experience and transformation in the face of the explosiveness of current collective affects and at combining many voices.
By using methods of sampling, diy and open source, it sets sounds and words into motion.
Like Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Brian Massumi, P:TSO believes in the transformational power of affects.
Following Otto Penz and Birgit Sauer, it turns against a neoliberal economization of feelings and like Gabriele Winkler relies on a CARE REVOLUTION. Which might be the most comprehensive attack on affective societal imbalances.
