*** Open Call Michael Portnoy ***

The Academy of the Arts of the World is looking for Cologne-based 
individuals willing to participate in the newest performance of artist 
Michael Portnoy. If you have a sense of humor, don’t take yourself too 
seriously and have a personal Facebook or Instagram account, please send 
an email asap (until 12.03) to portnoy at academycologne.org 
<mailto:portnoy at academycologne.org>. There are several ways you can 
participate, the most minimal being simply becoming friends with us 
on Facebook.

"Character Assassination" is a new performance by Michael Portnoy in 
which YOU, the audience, are hoisted and smeared by the fumes from your 
own data trails. Welcome to the hazy, new world of alternate facts 
and hybrid media wars, where anybody can be hacked, any source can be 
tainted. It doesn’t matter what you say or think, what matters is how it 
all looks in a certain yellow light. All your social network friends and 
followers are in on the conspiracy, everybody is guilty and there is no 
definitive proof of innocence, unless you’re made of teflon. But teflon 
is made of carbon and fluorine, which is also yellow. Taking the form of 
a satirical TV news program, and mixing muckraking, muckfarming, and 
good ole-fashioned mucking about, the show refracts the base, 
authoritarian tactics of eroding democracies, and skewers the post-fact 
quicksand we’re presently drowning in. If the real self has been 
overwritten by the fake self then why not treat the fake self as 
a speculative fiction with twenty different heads each trying to outdo 
the other?

Concept and Direction: Michael Portnoy
