F\u00fcr das Projekt be prepared, tiger! wurde ein eigenes Tarnkappenboot entwickelt, das die Stealth -Technologie amerikanischer Tarnkappenbomber anwendet. Wenn es durch H\u00e4fen und andere Gew\u00e4sser gefahren wird, ist das metallisch gl\u00e4nzende Boot zwar mit blo\u00dfem Auge zu sehen, bleibt aber f\u00fcr jedes Radarger\u00e4t verborgen. Die Frage nach dem Zusammenhang von Sichtbarkeit, Pr\u00e4senz und Handlungsf\u00e4higkeit, die vom MacGhillie auf dem Feld des posthumanistischen Subjekts verhandelt wird, verlagert das Boot auf das Terrain der Technologie und ihrer konzeptuellen Wirksamkeit. Neben Darstellungen der k\u00fcnstlerischen Projekte sowie Materialien, die den unmittelbaren Projektkontexten entstammen, umfasst das Buch auch mehrere theoretische Texte.<\/p>\n

Public visibility and strategic camouflage<\/p>\n
In the society of late capitalism \u2013 whether we understand it as a society of consumption, of control, or as a cybernetic society -, visibility and transparency are no longer signs of democratic openness, but rather of administrative availability. Spaces of agency and spaces of social friction are absorbed into the surfaces of technical processes. Even when the games of visibility, of attention, and of the mechanisms of subjectivation, may not always be a matter of bare survival, they are still a matter of maintaining and appropriating heterotopic zones in which resistance, if not freedom, can be postulated.
\nThis book deals with questions of public visibility and strategic camouflage. It hinges on the public performance project \u00a0\u203amacghillie \u2013 just a void\u2039 by the artist group knowbotic research, in which urban sites are visited by a figure, clad in a camouflage suit. The so-called \u203aGhillie Suit\u2039 was originally invented in the 19th century for hunting and has since the First World War been used in military contexts all over the world. When worn in a contemporary public environment, its camouflage effects the anonymisation and the neutralisation of the person wearing it. The figure of the \u203aMacGhillie\u2039 oscillates between the hyperpresence of a mask, and visual redundancy. It traverses the modern urban environment in which conspicuity holds ambivalent currency, wavering between cumbersome affirmation and visual arbitrariness. In the project, the suit is made available to members of the public who can thus become macghillie for a while, testing the boundaries of subjectivity and identity<\/p>\n

Manual of Latent Invisibilities<\/p>\n
Die K\u00fcnstlergruppe Knowbotic Research besch\u00e4ftigt sich seit einiger Zeit mit den Themen der Sichtbarkeit und der Pr\u00e4senz. Ihre performativen und installativen Arbeiten im \u00f6ffentlichen Raum konfrontieren realweltliche Szenarien mit semifiktiven Testf\u00e4llen. Im Performance-Projekt MacGhillie Just a Void werden urbane Orte von einer Figur aufgesucht, die mit einem handels\u00fcblichen Tarnanzug bekleidet ist und weder als Individuum noch \u00fcberhaupt als Person auff\u00e4llt. Sie durchstreift die moderne st\u00e4dtische Umgebung, in der Auff\u00e4lligkeit eine durchaus ambivalente W\u00e4hrung darstellt, schwankend zwischen Affirmation und visueller Beliebigkeit.<\/p>\n
