On February 18, 2005, Tanja Trampe and Daniela Petrini will present their first public guest work as a lecture performance under the name data | Auftrag für parasitäre* Gastarbeit (data | mission for parasitic* guest work). The concept and course of the lecture were developed as a joint production; the individual contributions, however, were created autonomously. This snippet lecture takes place at the invitation of Cabaret Voltaire. The flyer reads: "The situation: The blank card. The action: Covert investigation of an artistic strategy. The method: The stubbornly formidable and creative potential of the parasitic principle." However, this lecture does not explain how the parasitic principle works. Rather, possible ways of working are staged with the help of materials. The equipment for this 75-minute snippet lecture consists of: two investigators each with a microphone, eleven partly multi-part protocols in eleven individual envelopes, projections of visual material, a silent video and eight non-silent audio recordings; eight clues in transparent folders, a wooden sledge, a film dictionary and the double bass player David Briner. During the performance, the protocols are located in a coordinate-less map. Sectors and temperature levels are marked on the edge of the stage.
