Jörg van der Horst was recruited by Christoph Schlingensief in 1998 to work for him as an artistic director, after Schlingensief had read van der Horst’s M.A. thesis about Schlingensief’s democratic media art. In the present paper, van der Horst criticises the way Schlingensief’s transgressive and transformative way of making art and politics has failed to have an impact on the art of today.
