GoArtist is an artistic research about how, and if at all art can take place in the frame of service-on-demand structures, e.g. as delivery service.

GoArtist fights the capitalisation and commodification of human life by algorithmic labour structures and presents a fair alternative without exploitation.

GoArtist questions the simple consumption of content and products, that´s why GoArtist does not deliver a product – we offer time and exchange of thoughts.

GoArtist is the missing link between private, public and institutional space. It is a new possibility to experience art in a resource-saving, mindful, sustainable and respectful way.

The service GoArtist is now available in an App :P

GoArtist reverses the accessibility to art: people don‘t have to go to the museum, instead the art comes to you, even in the most remote places. Here I meet Regula in Guarda (CH).

GoArtist, as a complementary offer, can expand the programs of museums, community centers, schools and other educational institutions, reaching a larger part of civil society. Here, a visit to the High Alpine Institute Ftan (CH) takes place.

GoArtist is an interdisciplinary space for thought and discussion. In 2021, for the first time, I was able to invite other artists and experts from other fields to collaborate on GoArtist, thanks to the support of NEUSTART KULTUR: here we (the GoArtists from left: Sophie Innmann, Manuel van der Veen, Anna Schütten and anu cutter) are talking to scientist Dr. Dzifa Ametowobla (center) from the research group "Digitalization Processes in Work“ at the TU Berlin.
