Global Village - m20d20

“The world is now like a continually sounding tribal drum, where everybody gets the message all the time… boom, boom, boom, go the drums…” Marshall McLuhan, 1960

The theory about the Global Village by Marshall McLuhan seems to contain many facets that pre-contextualized the current condition of social live on planet earth; e.g. the elimination of distances through the electronically interconnected globe and the rise of tribal culture. Is the Global Village the reality we are living in, or is it a reflection of a dream / a nightmare? 

With m20d20 the theme Global Village meets the mass tourist destination Flachau, which attracts 1.3 million visitors per year from all over the world. Flachau grows from 2.700 inhabitants in off-season to 18.000 people in high-season. This unique context provides extra room for interpretation of this year’s theme. 

The participating artists come from Finland, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Russia, United Kingdom and Austria and present works in the field of performance, video art, land art, sound art and sculptural art. As it is in the nature of m20d all artworks are produced on site and/or especially produced for minus20degree.

The Global Village - center of minus20degree - consists of temporary buildings, designed and built by 17 architecture students. Invited spatial thinkers provide a theoretical reflection on the topic.
