---- Lifeblood Detection, Projection, Installation, Art Edition Workshop Continuous ---- {{:bloodproof_ampulle_c_stwst_archive.jpg?1200nolink|}} {{:bloodproof_of_life_filmstill_.jpg?1200nolink|}} \\ **In September 2023, STWST organised the format Bloodproof of Life** - as a collective art action with real lifeblood. An appeal was made: Stadtwerkstatt gives you back your lifeblood - come and get it! **4 ml of blood was taken from volunteers.** This was followed by several checks of the participants and their lifeblood, by survey, seal, blockchain, hash and video proof. The authenticity of blood, participants, hash, chain, video and overall participation in the collective lifeblood project was confirmed in a reciprocal multiple proof. Finally, the participants received their ampoule of lifeblood back as a transformed, certified blood-to-art object suitable for the art market. **During its realisation at STWST, the format led to constant queuing.** Topics between "lifeblood as a resource", i.e. the internal operating systems of engagement, and the currently discussed extraction of resources and the best parts of people, their DATA, were critically reflected - as well as the technological and social regimes that make this possible. This was the [[https://stwst48x9.stwst.at/en/bloodproof_of_life|Bloodproof of Life as a collective art action with real lifeblood]] in the Stadtwerkstatt 2023. **In 2024, at STWST48x10, the video proof** plus parts of the multiple checks are shown, plus an installative setting. \\ **The VIDEOPROOF shows around 90 participants** who wanted their lifeblood back. They tested the authenticity of their lives in a multiple proof – and/or planned to go on the art market with their lifeblood. \\ **On Occasion of STWST48x10 NOPE: Determination of the LIFEBLOOD Art Edition:** 1 Hashchain Test STWST 2 Hashchain Test servus.at 3 Oona Valarie Serbest 4 Katharina Weinberger 5 Stefan Prielinger 6 Bart Lootsma 7 Aylin Yilmaz 8 Antonio Tricoli 9 Anika Kronberger 10 Dr. Ursula Maria Lücke 11 Flo 12 Michaela Akman-Mayer 13 Linus Ywain Brandstätter 14 Stefan Krummenacker 15 Sonja Hart 16 Onur Olgaç 17 Kartoffel Mehlig 18 Holger Watermann 19 Juan Linares 20 Theresa Klabacher 21 Flo Klabacher 22 Ina Fischer 23 David McDonald 24 Annika Strassmair 25 Floriama Candrea 26 Aderieg 27 Diane Pricob 28 Murkovic Aleksandar 29 Elisabeth Ertl 30 Lisa Vollovec 31 Aban Salehi 32 Jan-Nahuel Jenny 33 Infamia, Edeltrud 34 Infamia, Scholestika 35 Infamia, Kalypso 36 Infamia, Ulva 37 Infamia, Wunna 38 Infamia, Diotima 39 Lisa Rastic 40 Daphne Varekamp 41 Emma Boom 42 314159 43 Anna Despends 44 Infamia, Dankrun 45 taro 46 Micha Gerersdorfer 47 Simon Gmajner 48 Tamara Mihalic 49 Nastja Ambrožvič 50 Raphaela Salhofer 51 Claudia Dworschak 52 Tanja Brandmayr 53 Astrid Benzer 54 Jörg Parnreiter 55 Giac O’ Moe 56 Silvana Steinbacher 57 Valerie vom Hofe 58 XAVER 59 Timon Schwarz-Wissel 60 Mars 61 Eva Pondrik 62 Olivia Schütz 63 Eva Grün 64 Samir Ibrahim 65 Georg 66 Gaga Vulvovic 67 Okambo 68 Melitta Luong 69 Daniela Silberstein 70 Jul Marian 71 Jonas Martschin 72 Theresa Schubert 73 Anna Portenkirchner 74 Stephan Kepplinger 75 Bastian Lehner 76 Mariia Serhiienko 77 Matthias Pitscher 78 Gabriele Kepplinger 79 Eva Debevc 80 Antionio Zingaro 81 Rulitza Georgieva 82 Joana-Sophia Vangelova 83 Antionio Zingaro Jr. 84 bune 85 Dominik Kreil 86 Theresa Klabacher 87 Natascha Schwaiger 88 Rafael Müller 89 Felix Vierlinger 90 Gams \\ {{:stwst48x9_bloodproof_c_astrid_benzer_228.jpg?1200nolink|}} ---- **BLOODPROOF OF LIFE, 2024, Videoproof, Installation and Determination of the Art Edition** Overall concept and realisation: Tanja Brandmayr/STWST Video editing: Franziska Thurner **BLOODPROOF OF LIFE, 2023, Collective Art Action with your Lifeblood** 8.-10. Sept 2023 at STWST Linz A project of STWST Conceived in the main parts: Tanja Brandmayr/Quasikunst Relevant support: servus.at All info and full line-up of the many great people involved: https://stwst48x9.stwst.at/en/bloodproof_of_life **//Stadtwerkstatt / STWST//** (A): The Stadtwerkstatt / STWST has existed since 1979 and is the first autonomous art and culture centre in Linz. From the very beginning, it has been associated with a self-understanding of initiative, activism, subculture and a practice of constantly redefining contexts. In media and media art, the location has had a history of relevant projects since the 1980s. Today, Stadtwerkstatt works in the areas of New Art Contexts, runs media such as the newspaper Versorgerin, runs the Music Club and the Cafe Strom. Between art, media, criticism, music, underground and the mixed spheres of the building, activities are formed that are comprehensive, interdisciplinary and motivated by artistic, cultural, technological and socially relevant intentions. stwst.at - **//Images://** Videostills, Astrid Benzer
