The Parasite Job Center is the infrastructural core of On Parasiting. It acknowledges that infiltration is not only a conceptual strategy but a material and psychological condition. As artists embed themselves within host systems, their position becomes inherently ambivalent: productive and exposed, adaptive yet unstable. The Job Center responds to this tension by providing a protected space for collective reflection, strategic calibration, and concrete support from legal advice, psychological sessions, coaching and financial backup through a Rescue Fund.
Parasite Job Center Team
The PJC operates as a counter-structure within the project: a place where experiences from inside the host can be processed, shared, and reoriented. In this sense, the Parasite Job Center does not stand outside the logic of parasiting, it stabilizes it, making sustained infiltration possible without collapsing into either precarity or assimilation.

Chiara Garbellotto
Ethnographer
Chiara Garbellotto is a social anthropologist and cultural worker. In her academic research, she has explored different practices and logics of public engagement with science and technology in museums. Relevant areas of her work included the anthropology of experts and the emergence of publics, with a focus on material-semiotic boundaries across exhibition work, scientific communication, education and curation of participatory programs. Moving ethnographically within organisations and professional worlds, she looks for the interferences and the multiplying effect they produce in what is taken as one coherent reality. She is especially intrigued by the weird and the awkward. As part of the Parasite Job Center, she offers the artists a space for reflection and theorisation work, mediating between the intimate experience of becoming parasite and the larger scale of the infrastructural settings in which the parasiting relations will unfold. Eventually, she will attempt to trace the different tactics, risks of exposure/reintegration and the subversive effects across the host systems.
Harriet Rabe
Systemic Counselor
Harriet Rabe is a systemic counselor with a focus on EFT (emotion-focused therapy) and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy). She is also a multimedia artist and writer and has recently submitted her PhD in artistic research. Her work explores the intersections of emotional landscapes, systemic perspectives, narrative textures, and subjective experience, engaging a range of expressive media (objects, drawings, performance). As a counselor, she works with individuals and couples, supporting them, for instance, in navigating psychosocial stressors, life transitions, and neurodiversity.
Pascal Nonnen
Coach
Pascal guides people and organisations through change. As a hobby musician, he plays with the tension between upholding patterns and disrupting them — a practice that feeds directly into his professional facilitation work. He uses irritation and interference as core moves: precise acts that crack structures and provoke change. His vision is to co-build a world in which work contributes to the wellbeing of people and planet.
As a Manager for Organization & Culture at a boutique consultancy, he designs development programmes and coaches leadership teams through cultural and structural change. Rooted in systems theory and a passion for creative intervention, he believes change rarely comes from the outside. His thinking is shaped by an interdisciplinary formation across cultural, communication, and economic sciences and digital sociology, studied at Zeppelin University, HU Berlin, Edinburgh, and HSG St. Gallen.

Guerrilla Architects
Guerrilla Architects is a transdisciplinary collective of female artists based in Berlin. Founded in 2012 during a squat in London, we consciously navigate the tensions between critical urban research, artistic intervention, and activist action. We work with temporary appropriations, subversive strategies, and legal grey areas, which we use as effective levers for spatial justice.
Heimo Lattner
Heimo Lattner is a visual artist based in Berlin, as well as an author of documentary radio plays and a publicist. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and participated in the Whitney Independent Study Program New York, where he lived from 1995 to 2002. His practice is situated within the discourses of institutional critique and critical urbanism, with a particular emphasis on radio/podcasting, and publishing as expanded modalities of artistic production in the public sphere. Lattner’s current research examines the political and legal frameworks underpinning Tesla’s industrial development in Grünheide/Brandenburg. He most recently worked as a research associate at the German Bundestag on this subject.

Vincent Rumahloine
Vincent Rumahloine is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and socially engaged practitioner based in Bandung, Indonesia. His work operates at the intersection of contemporary art and community activism, focusing on themes of displacement, uprooted identities, and the recovery of erased histories. Having transitioned from the NGO sector, he brings a professional background in grassroots advocacy and health-focused engagement to a rigorous artistic practice.His methodology is defined by an approach of "hacking society", seeking out loopholes within existing systems to create space for marginalised narratives. Since 2018, he has served as the Founder and Director of Rakarsa Foundation, a platform that exemplifies this approach by facilitating collaborative creative projects and social initiatives. By navigating institutional gaps, he utilises a research-heavy process to challenge historical erasures and surface the "intelligence of displacement.” This practice manifests through a diverse range of mediums, including large-scale installations, audio-reactive glitch art, public performances, and participatory workshops. As the founder and lead organiser of Bubuara Foundation, he also acts as a vital bridge between local knowledge systems and global contemporary art. Through this foundation, he works to empower the Jelekong community, preserving its unique painting traditions, called “Jelekongism,” while strategically navigating cultural systems to ensure their longevity. Whether orchestrating participatory sonic walks or developing experimental documentary projects, his work remains committed to the power of collective memory and systemic resilience.
