Od Bahausu do sztuki zamglonego antropocenu : ćwiczenie z fabulacji spekulatywnej

In recent years, the western humanities have witnessed a proliferation of various "speculative fabulations" (Haraway) concerning the ongoing ecocrisis. These are the new epochs in Earth’s history such as the Capitalocene (Moore) and the Plantationocene (Tsing), which allow us to understand better what is happening to our planet. The emergence of various "-cenes"coincided with the celebration of the centenary of the Bauhaus, provoking questions about the extent to which the tradition of that school allows us to understand contemporary hybrid forms of performative arts at the intersection of nature, culture and technology. This paper argues that the Bauhaus tradition makes it possible to understand the phenomena occurring in the ‘foggy Anthropocene.’ In this epoch that I have called into being, we are dealing with both an ecological crisis and a serious epistemological crisis. The ‘foggy Anthropocene’ is therefore a speculation on what the world would look like if the dominance of sight as a tool of orientation had been weakened. It is this sense that guarantees, as the Modern age wanted, the most certain knowledge about the world. By combining Anni Albers’s works with a contemporary installation, I will show what the Bauhaus tradition can say about the epoch.
