The mummy unwrapped: Cultural Commons durch Kunstraub

Presented at 32C3 (2015), Dec. 27, 2015, 11:30 a.m. (60 minutes)

Eine zweite Büste der ägyptischen Königin sei gefunden worden, meldete Ägyptens größte Zeitung. Der Fund war jedoch Teil einer Kunstaktion, die Museen und Kunstmarkt für deren Umgang mit Antiken kritisiert. Nelles und Al-Badri haben mit einem portablen Scanner die Daten der Nofretete aus dem Neuen Museum in Berlin geraubt und den daraufhin angefertigten 3D Druck in Kairo ausgestellt. Mit ihrer multimedialen Intervention „The Other Nefertiti“ stellen sie Fragen nach Original und Kopie, nach dem Monopol auf Digitalisate und fordern die neokolonialen Strukturen von Museen heraus. Auf dem Kongress werden sie über notwendige Lügen sprechen und Kunst als oppositionelle Strategie, alternative Erzählungen und wie Deutsche den Terror von Daesh finanzieren.
