Soda_Jerk
Posted by Fabio 23 April 2012
Soda_Jerk is a two-person art collective based in Berlin. For the last decade they have been working with audiovisual samples to create speculative narratives that trouble existing formulations of history, culture and politics. In their work, dominant accounts of cultural history are approached as semi-fictional mythologies that attempt to colonise and control the future. By strategically reimagining the recent past, the artists are interested in producing competing counter-mythologies that could open new possibilities for the present. Primarily taking the form of video installations and video performance lectures, their archival image practice merges the zones of research, documentary and speculative fiction.
