there is no time
Hamburg, G20 Summit, TINT Collective, 2017
As part of the TINT collective, we organized a 48-hour discussion broadcast on July 7–8, 2017, addressing the core topics of the G20 Summit in Hamburg — under the title There Is No Time.
Interviews with activists, theorists, and representatives from diverse organizations offered alternative perspectives on the summit and its issues. The conversations took place publicly on the floating platform Das Archipel, under the green bridge by the canal, creating a space for exchange and encounter.
Simultaneously, the discussions were streamed live online and projected to various locations across Hamburg, including kiosks, shop windows, and public nodes within the restricted summit zone. The broadcasts acted as “satellites,” offering new perspectives on the media spectacle while exploring radical critique of socioeconomic conditions and alternative narratives.
On the outskirts of the city, the Archipel became a site to experiment with theory and practice of non-capitalist societies — as part of the plural voices of protest, as part of new ways of relating in a society where everything belongs to everyone.
The project affirmed the urgency of ongoing dialogue: to discuss the present in order to imagine a future, to test alternatives, and to collaboratively experiment and develop them further.
