Sunday, 5.3.2023

See you on the dancefloor!
10:15: Good morning Elevators! Welcome to the last day of Elevate Festival 2023! I hope you enjoyed yesterday's programme.

Saturday, 4.3.2023
22:00: We’re so looking forward to presenting you the Nyege Nyege Labelnight in the Tunnel. Expect electrifying beats and infectious rhythms. Come and join us!
Planetary Assault Systems (Luke Slater), JakoJako, DJ Bone and more artists will heat up the dancefloor at Dom im Berg.
20:00: In half an hour a very special concert will begin: Panda Bear & Sonic Boom. On the album they will present at Elevate, they combine their penchant for sixties pop in a sample-based, sun-drenched album – ecstatic psych-pop bliss.
Before that, there are no-frills beautiful synth-pop numbers from Tents and a fairytale sound cosmos inspired by Russian & Japanese pop music and films of the 70s and 80s from Kate NV.
16:30: We keep hearing that it's five minutes (or a minute, or even 10 seconds) to twelve until global Armageddon (global warming, nuclear war, global pandemic, total digital control over our lives...), so now is the last moment to wake up and prevent the catastrophe. But what if the only way to prevent a catastrophe is to assume that it has already happened, that the apocalyptic zero hour is already five minutes past?
With his lecture "Only a catastrophe can save us", the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek pleads to prevent a catastrophe by dating it ahead.
The lecture starts at 18:00 at the Orpheum. There are still a few tickets (standing room) left via ntry and at the box office: https://ntry.at/elevatefestival2023/performances/19034
12:30: Welcome to day 4 at Elevate Festival!
We started early today with the workshop "Elevate Migrant Voices!" where we discussed new ideas for participation and migrant life in Graz. Thank you all for being there and getting involved!
At 13:00 we’re looking forward to the panel "Alliances in the climate crisis" with Andreas Sator, Cornelia Daniel, Christian Metschina, Dieter Thyr and Florian Maringer in the Heimatsaal.

The day begins early with the exciting workshop "Classifying Humans – a data annotation workshop" by KairUs in the Heimatsaal Foyer of the Volkskundemuseum at 10:00.

Thursday, 2.3.2023
17:30: In one hour, the sound installation by Caterina Barbieri "Music for Elevators" will be opened in the Schlossberg elevator.
Afterwards, the tour continues to Forum Stadtpark, where the sound sculpture "when the music is over / melt in peace" by Andreas Trobollowitsch will be unveiled.
12:30: Let's go to Heimatsaal, where the interactive installation by KairUs "Suspicious Behaviour" can be experienced until 19:00.
The work shows a world of hidden human labour that forms the basis of how "intelligent" image processing systems interpret our actions.
During a walk through Graz, the historical city map panels, which are accompanied by artworks from the series "(Unlikely) Alliances", can be viewed. In cooperation with zweintopf, a number of national and international artists have been invited to deal artistically with this year's festival theme "(Unlikely) Alliances".

Elevate festival's first day in the discourse programm is kicking off with a thought-provoking keynote at 13:00 in the Heimatsaal by journalist Knut Cordsen. As a cultural editor, political scientist, and sociologist, Knut will ask the tough question: Just how much activism can our society handle?
