OutResourcing has been a continuous two years exchange between participants from transmediale festival in Berlin and the Sristhi School of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore. This project explores the pervasive phenomenon of outsourcing from a critical point of view approaching it as a site for production of new hybrid subjectivities and economies –as outResources.

 

The first phase of the project took place in Berlin, Vienna and Bangalore during 2011, with two artistic research projects developed in Germany and India, presented at the 2011 transmediale festival in/compatible. In the second phase of the project, the German artists Galerie C&V are developing a project through a residency in Bangalore during November 2012. This seminar features a first presentation of the residency project as well as all previous participants of the outResourcing project. Additionally, there are student presentations and further talks that contextualise the outResourcing topic.
