Blockadia*Tiefsee sees itself as a temporary collective, constantly changing in shape and size. Like a biopolymer or a collection of cells we knot together in order to bring about changes, to store modifications and energy and to carry them to the outside. With the possibilities of self-organization, of spontaneous disposition and responsibility, frugality, solidarity and empathy we test the form-finding of our discourses in material, substance, object and space. At the center there is the preoccupation with changes in the world due to climate change and capitalism and with that, what surrounds us under the influence of new technologies, economic and ecological forces and transformations.

With our project Soil Strings - Commoning And Compost for Synnika we are creating everyday, temporal and material intersections of the "composting" through various project stations on the roof terrace as well as installations, works and a window-film screening in the ground floor of the NIKA.haus.

Thus we show our discoveries of agreements and dependencies on the often unseen other: from the microcosm of worms to the outside in the urban space. Open discussions and workshops with the residents and guests of the NIKA.haus expand the space for exchange and transport of ideas and knowledge.

Together we explore possibilities to rethink resources, relationships and values, and to explore renewable methods for the development of art methods for the production of art in the sense of commoning.
