Collective Scroll is a format hatched by Mudmap Magazine. Each session takes a specific corner of the internet and scrolls through it collectively, in real time, in the same room, with the same screen. What appears is then read together in the room as image, symptom and online world.
A beautiful expansion of surrealist tradition, automatic writing-reading gone astray, yet ahead.
For its first edition, the session enters the Tartarian ecosystem: an online imaginary where architecture, conspiracy, lost histories and civilizational fantasy collapse into algorithmic speculation.

In parallel, in response to the Mudmap project, Galerie Linger and its Wednesday series Blanchot Sessions fold themselves into the event “Collective Scroll” as a small pocket space, inaugurating a new format: Linger Feed. The series invites Berlin artists engaged in discursive practices to gather around the uncertain region where literature becomes image and the image begins speaking.
This time, we'll ask a deceptively simple question: what it means – to be taken by the image?
