The art-theoretical and media-philosophical project centers the concept of participatory critique and investigates it along its sensuous, technological, and political conditions with the aim of rendering the modes of expression of such critique describable. The project’s focus resides equally in the material, relational, and constituent aspects of such critique. Practices of participatory critique will be examined as constituent conditions, priming, differentiating, and challenging the segmentations, boundaries and framings of systems – such as art, socioculture, or politics.Relaying the praxeological research on media participation in artistic and activist micro practices of the first funding period, this second phase shifts its until then anthropologically oriented perspective towards more-than-human modes of existence. The new research trajectory emphasizes the qualities and potentials of critique as participatory from the vantage point of a posthuman conception of artistic and activist practices of resistance in media environments. From a theoretical point of view Judith Butler’s notion of performativity defines a decisive instance. Butler deconstructs the “voluntaristic subject of humanism” and inquires about the posthuman. In such a posthuman condition, the power to act resides not in the sovereign subject but rather conceives of vulnerability as the ground for emergent ways of subjectivation with and through material, mental and media ecologies. The project conducts research on different dimensions of participatory critique in artistic knowledge practices as well as militant research (AB 2), on the Spanish municipalist movement and its technopolitics as well as the media studies genealogy of techno-collectives (AB 3). The aim is to weave ethico-aestehtic and aesthetico-political micro practices in art and activism into each other. Accordingly, participatory critique reveals its (non-)linguistic and more-than-human material and media forms of critique – putting them to the test – without reproducing acclaimed categories such as art vs. activism (AB 1). TP 5 focuses on the relationality of aesthetic-sensuous practices, affective dimensions, and material and infrastructural aspects of participatory critique through the analysis of case studies and its conceptual developments. Consequently, a theoretical re-positioning of the relation between art and activism and a differentiated analysis of techno-ecologically refined micro-practices and their modes of collectivity provide key elements of the project’s contributions to an overall theory of media participation.

艺术理论和媒体哲学项目中心的概念，参与性的批评，并探讨它沿着其感官，技术和政治条件，目的是使这种批评的表达方式可描述。该项目的重点同样存在于这种批评的物质，关系和组成方面。参与式批评的实践将被视为构成条件，启动，区分和挑战系统的分割，边界和框架-如艺术，社会文化或政治。第二阶段将延续第一个资助期对媒体参与艺术和活动家微观实践的行为学研究，将其人类学导向的视角转向超越人类的存在模式。新的研究轨迹强调批评的质量和潜力，从后人类的艺术观念和媒体环境中的抵抗活动实践的Vantage位置参与。从理论的角度来看，朱迪斯巴特勒的概念的表演定义了一个决定性的例子。巴特勒解构了“人文主义的非理性主体”，追问了后人类。在这样一种后人类状态下，行动的力量并不存在于主权主体之中，而是将脆弱性视为通过物质、精神和媒体生态实现主体化的基础。该项目对艺术知识实践中的参与性批评的不同维度以及激进研究（AB 2），西班牙艺术家运动及其技术政治学以及技术集体的媒体研究谱系（AB 3）进行研究。其目的是将艺术和行动主义中的伦理美学和美学政治微观实践相互交织。因此，参与式批评揭示了它的（非）语言的和超过人类的材料和媒体形式的批评-把他们的测试-没有复制广受好评的类别，如艺术与行动主义（AB 1）。TP 5通过案例研究及其概念发展的分析，重点关注参与式批评的审美-感官实践、情感维度、物质和基础设施方面的关系。因此，对艺术与行动主义之间关系的理论重新定位，以及对技术生态学精炼的微观实践及其集体模式的差异化分析，为该项目对媒体参与的整体理论的贡献提供了关键要素。
