Reading evokes the feeling of witnessing a long-overdue liberation process. Everything is understood in the context of productivity, every action is evaluated based on its utility, and every time span is questioned regarding its potential. The clock chants this utilitarian understanding of time everywhere; in train stations, guides for improving time management are available, and a multitude of seminars and courses promise to teach techniques for optimizing time management. Even in current discourses surrounding speed and deceleration, and the performance and fatigue society, the paradigm of utility generally remains untouched. How can artistic practice escape the silent compulsion of the purpose rationality of the commodity society? The solution that Pörksen offers is speculative-theoretical in nature.
