A two-sided installation built at HfG/ZKM Karlsruhe as a suspended or fake conference. On one side of a specially erected wall was an empty conference zone: an educational video, a showcase containing Fids, and a single lectern with a microphone. On the other side was a backstage zone with a refrigerator, kitchen, sofa and television. The public meeting and the performance took place in this backstage space.

Tools of Disclosure was an intervention into the academic space accomplished using the format of a fake conference (empty conference). Comprehending the conference as a pure medium, we deployed the dichotomy of two spaces: the zone of an empty conference, which will never begin, and the backstage zone with communication and boozing from morning until midnight. The item of the conference was the Fid, the perfect tool for disclosing.
