The Seasteaders: Ειδική προβολή στο Art Explora Festival από την Μπιενάλε της Αθήνας
Στο «The Seasteaders», οι Jacob Hurwitz-Goodman & Daniel Keller εξετάζουν το αμφιλεγόμενο κίνημα Seasteading, το οποίο ξεκίνησε από μια ομάδα φιλελεύθερων που επεδίωκαν να δημιουργήσουν πλωτές, αφορολόγητες πόλεις ως πειραματικές κοινωνίες εκτός κυβερνητικού ελέγχου. Παρότι παρουσιάζεται ως λύση απέναντι στην «τελμάτωση» των κυβερνήσεων και στην κλιματική αλλαγή, η ταινία αποκαλύπτει συνδέσεις του κινήματος με αντιδημοκρατικές, τεχνο-ουτοπικές και alt-right ιδεολογίες.
Το ντοκιμαντέρ, που προβλήθηκε για πρώτη φορά στην 6η Μπιενάλε της Αθήνας «ANTI» (2018), επιστρέφει στην Αθήνα σε μια συγκυρία όπου η αυξανόμενη ανισότητα, η πόλωση, ο λαϊκισμός και τα ρεύματα της alt-right θέτουν υπό αμφισβήτηση την εύθραυστη συναίνεση της μεταπολεμικής Δύσης. Ανασύροντας αυτή την αφήγηση, σας καλούμε να αναμετρηθούμε με την ανησυχητική σύμπλεξη τεχνολογικού ουτοπισμού, πολιτικού εξτρεμισμού και παγκόσμιων κρίσεων, θέτοντας παράλληλα υπό αμφισβήτηση τις αναδυόμενες μορφές αποικιοκρατίας στον σημερινό κόσμο.

The Seasteaders: Special Screening at the Art Explora Festival by the Athens Biennale
In “The Seasteaders”, Jacob Hurwitz-Goodman & Daniel Keller examine the controversial Seasteading movement, initiated by a group of libertarians seeking to build floating, tax-free cities as experimental societies beyond government control. While presented as solutions to governmental “stagnation” and climate change, the film reveals links to anti-democratic, techno-utopian and alt-right ideologies.
First screened at the 6th Athens Biennale "ANTI" (2018), the documentary returns to Athens at a time when rising inequality, polarization, populism, and alt-right currents challenge the fragile post–WWII consensus in the West. By resurfacing this narrative, we invite you to confront the uneasy entanglement of technological utopianism, political extremism and global crises, while also questioning the emerging forms of colonialism in today’s world.

Athens Biennale
The Athens Biennale is the most significant periodic international event of contemporary culture in Greece. It is held every two years in Athens and in each edition it activates various locations in the city. It functions as an observatory of collective issues and as a platform for the designation of the contemporary culture of the Athenian metropolis, promoting experimental formats and various curatorial approaches. It has contributed to the establishment of Athens as a major cultural destination for contemporary art, on a par with the biggest capitals of Europe.
The Athens Biennale is the international contemporary art event of Greece through which the local artistic production is connected with the international art scene of contemporary art. It has been acknowledged as one of the most significant and innovative cultural initiatives in Europe by the European Cultural Foundation (2015 Princess Margriet Award for Culture).
In 2007, the Athens Biennale founded the European Biennial Network (EBN), a collaborative structure aiming to promote dialogue, interaction and collaboration between contemporary art Biennials in Europe. It is also a member of the International Biennial Association (IBA), a platform intending to use the knowledge, experience and wealth of information accumulated by organisers of large-scale periodic art events in order to support the communication and mobility of artists and art professionals.
It is organised by the Athens Biennial Non-Profit Organization, which was co-founded by Xenia Kalpaktsoglou, Poka-Yio, and Augustine Zenakos in November 2005.
