[rohrpost] Call: Berlin Artist Residency: Kunst der Verschränkung (Art of Entanglement) - with a focus on art and artificial intelligence (AI), deadline: April 25, 2022
Berlin Artist Residency: Kunst der Verschränkung (Art of Entanglement) BIFOLD (Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data) and Science Gallery at Technische Universität Berlin (TU) are excited to announce the new artist-in-residence program Kunst der Verschränkung. The residency seeks to entangle artistic and scientific perspectives by bringing an artist into the realm of cutting-edge research in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and the relation between big data management and machine learning. The chosen artist* will be provided the opportunity to realize an artistic project as an artist-in-residence at BIFOLD, the preeminent center for artificial intelligence and big data in Berlin. We are looking for an artist based in Berlin who has the capacity to dive into BIFOLD’s research fields, have engaging discussions with scientists and the broader public, and who aims at creating an inspiring, insightful, and innovative new artwork. We welcome applications from artists who work individually, in teams or in small collectives (≤5 people). About BIFOLD and the Research Themes for this Residency BIFOLD was formed in 2019 from the merger of two national Artificial Intelligence competence centers dealing with two pillars in the development of AI: big data management and machine learning. Their entanglement is central to BIFOLD and its endeavors to create new infrastructures and tools, to address open questions in diverse disciplines as well as to develop approaches for explainable AI. As such, BIFOLD explores the application of AI in the fields of digital humanities, physics, chemistry, medicine and remote sensing. While scientific knowledge and the potential of new technologies is growing, societal, cultural, and artistic reflections on these areas may provide an enriching case for their critical and further development. Kunst der Verschränkung thus seeks to examine cutting-edge technical and technological developments through artistic perspectives. These perspectives may shed light not only on how AI systems are implemented in problem solving, but how they may equally subvert or highlight asymmetries and inequities found in various large-scale systems that drive society. The residency program thus provides a framework to explore the role of the artist, art and culture in the rapidly developing wave of innovation in AI, and to reflect on the status of the interaction between implicit (tacit) and explicit knowledge in an artistic praxis in the post-digital age. The implications for big data and its management and analysis through machine learning is at the heart of the residency. This is exemplified through the core focus of BIFOLD’s various research groups and labs. We thus expect the chosen artist to actively interface with the research expertise currently developed at BIFOLD. The scientists at BIFOLD work in an interdisciplinary context and across research groups and labs, developing and curating an ever-growing collection of shared datasets. We envision that the artist-in-residence will tap into this growing knowledge ecosystem and further their own artistic research by sharing their motivations for such science + art collaborations as well as the results from their cross-disciplinary discussions. Further Details about the Residency and Artwork Presentation The winning artist will be invited for a residency at BIFOLD between September 2022 until the expected presentation of the artwork in February 2023. The artist will be informed by the end of May about the results of the selection process. They will be supported by local facilitators and will be working with curator Dr. Claudia Schnugg throughout the process of the residency leading up to the exhibition or final presentation of the artwork in Berlin in February 2023. The residency proper starts in September 2022. We anticipate offering an introduction and initial working contact in summer 2022 depending on the artist’s availability. At the start of the residency, the artist will be invited to give a presentation of their work and proposed project or project themes at a BIFOLD research symposium. During the residency, the artist is expected to collaborate on research topics of BIFOLD, reflect on their artistic praxis, and engage with the PhD students at BIFOLD’s Graduate School. The artwork realized during the residency will be presented and exhibited by Science Gallery at TU Berlin and BIFOLD starting in February 2023. Schedule Call opens: 16th March 2022 Call closes: 25th April 2022 Results by: End of May, 2022 Start of residency: September 2022 Budget for the Residency The winning artist will be awarded a gross total of 30,000.00 EUR that covers an artist fee, time spent at BIFOLD, fees for presentations and workshops during the residency phase, all expenses for materials, and production costs for the artwork. The payment will be facilitated
[rohrpost] Call: Potsdam Summer School 2022: „Towards a Sustainable Transformation – Climate, Energy and Nature in a Changing World” (August 22-31, 2022)
CALL POTSDAM SUMMER SCHOOL 2022 Towards a Sustainable Transformation – Climate, Energy and Nature in a Changing World August 22-31, 2022 in Potsdam, Germany The deadline for submitting applications will be April 30, 2022. With its overarching theme - “Towards a Sustainable Transformation – Climate, Energy and Nature in a Changing World” – the Potsdam Summer School will in 2022 continue the transdisciplinary and interactive series of events that has been held annually in Potsdam, Germany since 2014. Humankind is facing a huge challenge: Climate change threatens the foundations of life on our planet. To preserve these foundations, the fossil era must come to an end. This will lead to profound changes in our ways of producing goods, our means of transportation, and ultimately the way in which we live. We are at the beginning of a great transformation, which can bring benefits as well as new inequalities. It is important to shape this in a just and sustainable manner, while protecting the environment and thereby securing future life for people in all regions around the globe. Participants of the Potsdam Summer School will be engaged in discussions and group works and will be provided with tools to develop effective strategies to solve the challenges they face in their daily work, while also gaining a comprehensive perspective and overview surrounding the three aspects of a sustainable transformation: • Climate • Energy • Nature Action on climate change needs a joint and strong collaboration of the entire international community. The burdens and causes of climate change are unevenly distributed over the world, and future generations will suffer much more. The transformation of energy systems is obviously one of the key factors of climate mitigation. Fossil fuel-free means of producing energy must be developed and implemented. But this transformation also involves a societal change. The loss of biodiversity and climate change threaten human living conditions on our planet. The examples of polar and marine regions or the amazon region illustrate the importance of nature conservation. The aim of the Potsdam Summer School is to bring together talented early-career scientists and young professionals operating in the private sector, governmental agencies, and non-governmental organisations from many different parts of the world to discuss frontier (research) questions on future sustainable development. This call is also open for artists and curators. The organisers also intend to enable participants to engage with various sectors of the public in their home countries. Our goal is to improve science awareness and help to develop informed opinions and enhance the transferable skills of researchers and practitioners. Experts, stakeholders, and guest lecturers from high level national and international institutes and organisations will contribute knowledge and insights to the Summer School programme which will comprise lectures, various discussion formats, and interactive group work activities. Thus, the Potsdam Summer School provides a unique opportunity for all participants to foster international cooperation and an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas. In partnership with Geo.X and the City of Potsdam, the 2022 Potsdam Summer School will be jointly organised by the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), the Helmholtz-Centre Potsdam – GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS), the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), and the University of Potsdam. The call for applications has started on February 1, 2022. The organisers intend to conduct the 10-day programme in a format whereby all participants and speakers will be present in Potsdam. The entire programme will be conducted in English. Should it be the case that the overall situation regarding the current pandemic precludes in-person attendance the organisers will revert to a virtual format. The organisers are looking forward to receiving applications from young professionals from various backgrounds. The deadline for submitting completed applications is on Saturday April 30, 2022 at 23:59 UTC.

[rohrpost] Open Call: JRC SciArt Summer School 2022 (22-24 June 2022)
Open Call: JRC SciArt Summer School 2022 in Ispra (IT), Artists across creative disciplines, countries and at any stage of their career are invited to submit an application to participate in the Resonances IV Summer School. As a melting pot of perspectives and disciplines, the Summer School will be a fertile ground for fermenting ideas on the theme of NaturArchy: Towards a Natural Contract. The programme reaches out to artists producing work in the rich lands between art and science, whose work engages diverse audiences, and who show strong interest in scientific inquiry. Deadline: 15 February 2022 The summer school: The purpose of the summer school is to invite artists to explore and be inspired by the challenges of doing science for policy. JRC scientists and policy-makers will be part of this group, jointly discussing and discovering the theme of NaturArchy in its contexts and perspectives. Through this process, we wish to create a safe haven where artists and JRC scientists have the possibility to engage in high-quality pioneering collaborations. We hope these exchanges will lead to inspiring projects and works of art at the intersection of the arts, sciences, and society. Of greatest interest are works that spill over from art and research cenacles into the streets. A maximum of 20 artists will be selected and invited as experts according to European Commission rules to participate actively to a summer school workshop. At the end of the summer school, they will be invited to submit a project proposal that combines research and production in view of a more extensive residency at one of the JRC sites in Europe. If selected, the proposal will be produced and showcased at the JRC, with the possibility to exhibit, subsequently, in a major European venue. Curatorial Statement: NaturArchy: Towards a Natural Contract Trees, forests, rivers, mountains, seas, stardust, DNA — imagine the environment not as the backdrop of our activities, imagine objects of nature not as items to be appropriated or exploited, but as subjects with intrinsic value and full juridical rights. Cancel the tired subject-object dichotomy between person and environment, the obsolete opposition nature and culture that does not hold in view of modern scientific discoveries; do away with conditions of mastery, appropriation, and submission; reimagine human concerns as unreservedly dependent on the natural world, integrated within nature. Only such a shift in our conceptualisation of nature can change our deep relation to the matter, species, ecosystems around us. A real Green Deal requires a systemic change of ground. Pushing beyond Rousseau’s social contract, NatureArchy: Towards a Natural Contract, calls for a more inclusive and equitable contract with our environment. Establishing a different relation with nature is a prime condition to acquire the necessary attitudes and skills to combat global warming.

[rohrpost] Call: NanoARTS der Pro Helvetia (Deadline 3. Februar 2022)
NanoARTS (KUNST, WISSENSCHAFT UND TECHNOLOGIE): Ausschreibung der Pro Helvetia und dem AMI, Fribourg (CH) Dt. Version: https://prohelvetia.ch/de/2022/01/nanoarts-ausschreibung/ Engl. Version: https://prohelvetia.ch/en/2022/01/nanoarts-call-for-proposals/ Die Schweizer Kulturstiftung Pro Helvetia und das Adolphe Merkle Institut (AMI) suchen Kunstschaffende und Wissenschaftler*innen, die im Rahmen des Austausches zwischen Kunst, Wissenschaft und Technologie an einer Zusammenarbeit interessiert sind. Das NanoARTS Programm eröffnet einen Raum für neue künstlerische Herangehensweisen und explorative Forschungspraktiken. Dafür werden bis zu drei Tandems ausgewählt und im Prozess von transdisziplinären und multi-perspektivischen Kollaborationen unterstützt. Wir begrüssen gemeinsame Bewerbungen von Kunstschaffenden und AMI-Wissenschaftler*innen, die einen der unten beschriebenen Bereiche der Nanowissenschaft künstlerisch erforschen, respektive sich transdisziplinär mit ihrer eigenen Forschungspraxis beschäftigen wollen. Das NanoARTS-Programm unterstützt über einen Zeitraum von zwölf bis achtzehn Monaten bis zu drei Tandems, bestehend aus einem oder einer Kunstschaffenden (oder Kollektiv) und einem oder einer Wissenschaftler*in (oder Laborteam). Die Tandempartner*innen müssen regelmässig an verschiedenen Orten (AMI-Labors, Ateliers, wissenschaftliche oder künstlerische Anlässe und Treffen) zusammenkommen, und so zusammenarbeiten, dass es für die Tätigkeit und das Denken beider Seiten gewinnbringend ist. Bewerbungsfrist für das Matchmaking: 3. Februar 2022, 17.00 Uhr (MEZ) NANOWISSENSCHAFT AM ADOLPHE MERKLE INSTITUT Das AMI ist führend auf dem Gebiet der angewandten, interdisziplinären Grundlagenforschung in der Nanowissenschaft, und widmet sich dem unendlich Kleinen. Das AMI verbindet grundlegende und angewandte Forschung der Nanowissenschaft in einem interdisziplinären Umfeld. Kunstschaffende werden in diesem Pilotprojekt dazu aufgerufen, zusammen mit einem oder einer Wissenschaftler*in des AMI, der oder die auf einem der unten beschriebenen Gebiete forscht, eine gemeinsame Bewerbung einzureichen: Die Berührung sehen: Polymer-Chemie und Materialien Die Umwandlung mechanischer Impulse in chemische Energie ist die Grundlage biologischer Prozesse wie Zell-zu-Zell-Kontakt, Zellmotilität oder haptische Wahrnehmung. Aufbauend auf dem Wissen rund um mechano-responsive Polymere können neuartige künstlerische Herangehensweisen erprobt werden. Polymere mit ganz eigenen, zuvor nicht nutzbaren Eigenschaften, z. B. mechanischer Umwandlung, mechanisch induzierter Lichterzeugung, mechanisch kontrolliertem Zellwachstum, selbstschmierendem Verhalten oder der Fähigkeit, Minimoleküle (Medikamente, Düfte, Antiseptika) abzugeben, können in den künstlerischen Prozess eingebunden werden. Mehr zu Polymer-Chemie und Materialien hier. Körper kontrollieren: Physik der weichen Materie Das Ziel dieser Forschungsgruppe ist, natürlich vorkommende, strukturierte Materialien zu verstehen und zu imitieren. Das kann beispielsweise bedeuten, Nanomaterialien mit ungewöhnlichen Eigenschaften zu erschaffen und neuartige Energietechnologien, u. a. Solarzellen, elektrochrome Anzeigen, Superkondensatoren, etc. zu entwickeln. Ganzheitliche, spektroskopische Beschreibungen sind unabdingbar, um die optischen Eigenschaften von Flora und Fauna zu verstehen. Dank solcher Forschung lassen sich die verschiedenen Gewebebestandteile entschlüsseln, die zu optischen Rückmeldungen beitragen. In-Vivo-Technologie: BioPhysik Hier geht es darum, zum molekularen Verständnis von Krankheiten beizutragen, oder auch darum, genaue, diagnostische Prüfverfahren und Sensoren zu entwickeln, und individuelle Proteinmoleküle für die Anwendung in der Biomarkererkennung, allgemeinen Proteinanalyse, personalisierten Medizin und Proteomik zu beschreiben. Die Forschenden wollen sich im Diskurs mit Kunstschaffenden mit der Integration von Technologien in lebende Organismen auseinandersetzen. Diese Technologien brauchen elektrische Energiequellen, die biokompatibel und mechanisch flexibel sind, und welche die in biologischen Systemen vorhandene chemische Energie nutzen können. Interaktive Biologie: BioNanomaterialien Diese Forschungsgruppe untersucht das grundlegende Zusammenwirken von Nanomaterialien mit ihrer Umgebung, einschliesslich Zellen und Gewebe, Konsumgüter und Nahrung. Die Forschenden ermitteln Materialqualitäten, die im Nanobereich relevant sind, indem sie widerstandsfähige Materialien und neuartige Analysemethoden entwickeln. Diese sind wichtig für die Gefahrenanalyse und für biomedizinische Anwendungen, z. B. beim Biodruck von Gewebe. Teil dieser Forschung ist die Entwicklung eines reproduzierbaren, menschlichen Omentummodells, wofür eine 3D-Biodruck-Technologie gebraucht wird, die in einem automatischen Prozess eine räumlich kontrollierte Ablagerung von Zellen und Biomaterial ermöglicht. --

[rohrpost] new publication: Plastic Ocean: Art and Science Responses to, Marine Pollution, De Gruyter, 2021
NEW PUBLICATION Plastic Ocean: Art and Science Responses to Marine Pollution, Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter, 2021 Edited by Ingeborg Reichle Our oceans are in an ecological crisis due to their contamination with millions of tons of toxic microplastic particles. In just a few years, the volume of microplastic particles will exceed that of plankton in our oceans and turn them into a huge sea of plastic. This publication brings together numerous international art projects related to environmental activities, DIY biotechnology, and science, and draws attention to the irreversible destruction of our marine ecosystems – the current threat posed by the loss of marine animal biodiversity, for example, or the decline in oxygen production due to massive plankton loss, to raise awareness about the impact of mass consumerism and environmental injustice, from which countries of the Global South are suffering disproportionately. It also presents current scientific findings on sustainable alternatives to plastic. With contributions by Dianna Cohen, Jennifer Wagner-Lawlor, Regine Rapp, Christian de Lutz, Mary Maggic, Robertina Šebjanič, Brandon Ballengée, Victoria Vesna, Martina R.

[rohrpost] new publication: MEDIA: A Transdisciplinary Inquiry, University of Chicago Press, 2021
NEW PUBLICATION MEDIA: A Transdisciplinary Inquiry ed. by Janet Wasko and Jeremy Swartz University of Chicago Press: Chicago 2021 (280 pages | 42 halftones) MEDIA: A Transdisciplinary Inquiry explores evolving definitions of media and interrogates how media technologies are transforming media theory and practice. The collection addresses the emerging roles of media across a wide range of disciplines, featuring contributions from an array of internationally known scholars and practitioners. The definition of media itself is in a constant state of flux, expanding to include an ever-widening range of concepts, products, services, and institutions. Here, the authors reconceptualize media, drawing not only on media and communication studies, but also philosophy, sociology, political science, biology, art, computer science, and information studies, among other disciplines. The collection challenges traditional notions of media, explores emerging media, and reexamines concepts including technology, environment, and ecology; multimedia, mediation, and labor; and participation, repair, and curation. The first in the Media-Life-Universe trilogy, this volume explores a transdisciplinary notion of media and technology, exploring media as technology, with special attention to its material, historical and ecological ramifications. This collection explores evolving definitions of media and how media technologies are transforming theory and practice. As the current media includes a wider and wider range of concepts, products, services and institutions, the definition of media continues to be in a state of flux. What are media today? How is media studies evolving? How have technologies transformed communication and media theory, and informed praxis? What are some of the futures of media? The collection challenges traditional notions of media, as well as concepts such as freedom of expression, audience empowerment and participatory media, and explores emergent media including transmedia, virtual reality, online games, metatechnology, remediation and makerspaces.

November 2020, Universität Innsbruck, Austria Videostream und Chat https://www.uibk.ac.at/events/info/2020/corona-verstehen.-understanding-corona Programm Die Corona-Pandemie ist bisher vor allem als wissenschaftliche Herausforderung für Medizin und Pharmazie wahrgenommen worden wie auch für die Wirtschaft und Politik. Tatsächlich ist sie aber ein Thema für praktisch alle Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften, historisch perspektiviert bzw. auf gegenwärtige Phänomene und Entwicklungen fokussierend. Die 2tägige Veranstaltung, die vom Tagungsteam in den ersten Wochen der Corona-Krise initiiert wurde, um Perspektiven der verschiedenen geistes- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Fächer sichtbar zu machen, soll ein erstes großes Forum an der Universität Innsbruck für den interdisziplinären Austausch zu Corona bieten. In dieser öffentlich zugänglichen Tagung befassen sich Wissenschaftler*innen verschiedenster geistes-, kultur- und sozialwissenschaftlicher Disziplinen mit den Ereignissen der Covid-19-Pandemie, den unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen und Narrativen, den vielfältigen Folgen und Auswirkungen sowie mit historischen Vorläufern – und werfen so Schlaglichter auf Corona als ein gesellschaftliches, politisches, kulturelles und wirtschaftliches Phänomen. 25.

[rohrpost] conference: Taboo – Transgression – Transcendence in Art and Science (TTT2020 Vienna online), November 26-28, 2020
International Conference on Art & Science Taboo – Transgression – Transcendence in Art and Science (TTT2020 Vienna online) November 26-28, 2020 In 2020 the 4th international conference Taboo – Transgression – Transcendence in Art and Science will take place online from November 26-28, hosted by the University of Applied Arts Vienna, supported by Ionian University, InArts Lab, Intellect Books, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Arte+Ciencia. TTT2020 is including theoretical and art practice presentations and continues to focus: (a) on questions about the nature of the forbidden and aesthetics of liminality as expressed in art that uses or is inspired by technology and science; (b) on the opening of spaces for creative transformation in the merging of science and art. What constitutes the unstable limits of what can be morally and epistemically accepted should be read within the historical horizons of cultures and circumstances. After all, what seems outrageously transgressive at one moment in time and from one perspective may eventually transcend into a commonplace practice. As we experience and even endorse a gradual, but substantial, de-centering away from anthropocentric values and ontologies, potentially critique harbours turmoil. Art practices pose critical questions about our certainties; sciences and humanities constantly test our limits and our ideas of worlds by pushing forward the conditions in which knowledge is produced. Developments in science and technology, that seem to enhance the borders of our experience of worlds and selves, revealing sometimes the fragility of social values, should be interrogated. Identities, ideologies, multiplicities, worlds, and visions are accepted and rejected, invented and destroyed; what are the forces behind and beyond? We propose critique within a transdiscipline, where science, arts, and humanities meet in a research quest, in an attempt at reframing and reconfiguring what there is. The up-coming conference will be a meaningful contribution to 21 Century approaches towards art, science and technology. The three day conference Taboo - Transgression - Transcendence in Art and Science will start on November 26, 2020 at 8:30 AM CET with a warm welcome to TTT2020 Vienna/Online by the organizing committee: Dalila Honorato (Ionian University, Corfu), María Antonia González Valerio (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City), Zahra Mirza (University of Applied Arts Vienna), and Ingeborg Reichle (University of Applied Arts Vienna). The digital venue for TTT2020 Vienna/Online is coordinated by the InArts Lab, directed by Andreas Giannakoulopoulos (Ionian University, Corfu). The program of TTT2020 Vienna/Online is now available at: https://avarts.ionio.gr/ttt/2020/en/program/ Registration is free and open until November 22, 2020 at: https://avarts.ionio.gr/ttt/2020/en/registration/ TTT2020 Vienna/Online will have one unique streaming channel with a 12 hours program/day followed by a recorded re-stream for audiences in other time zones.

[rohrpost] Job: Universitätsprofessur Game Art / Game Design, Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien (Masterstudium Game Art / Game Design)
Universitätsprofessur (m/w/d, 40 Wstd., befristet auf 5 Jahre) - Game Art / Game Design An der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien ist ab 1. Oktober 2021 die Stelle eine_r Universitätsprofessor (m/w/d) für das Fach Game Art / Game Design zu besetzen. Sie wird zunächst befristet auf fünf Jahre besetzt, eine spätere Vertragsverlängerung ist in beiderseitigem Einvernehmen möglich. Spiele in vielfältigen analogen und digitalen Formen durchdringen zunehmend den Alltag der Menschen, von Freizeit bis Bildung, von sozialen Netzwerken bis Citizen-Science-Games, von Gamification als Strategie zur Beeinflussung der Reaktionsmuster von Anwender_innen bis zur Erforschung menschlichen Verhaltens und sozialer Dynamiken. Die Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien schafft mit dem neuen Masterstudium „Game Art / Game Design“ [Arbeitstitel], das im Oktober 2021 starten wird, ein neues Studien- und Forschungsfeld. Das Studium zielt damit auf eine interdisziplinäre, kritische Reflexion der gesellschaftlichen Wirkungsmacht von Spielen unter gleichzeitiger Anwendung auf die prototypische Entwicklung innovativer Spielkonzepte und -zugänge. Zentraler Aspekt (und im europäischen Hochschulwesen einzigartige Charakteristik) des neuen Studiums ist die Verschränkung der Entwicklung von innovativen Spielkonzepten jenseits der kommerziellen Spieleindustrie mit einer kritischen Betrachtung von Spielen in ihren unterschiedlichen historischen, gesellschaftlichen und sozialen Kontexten. Forschungsbereiche des Studiums sind u.a. der Einsatz von Spielemechanismen in partizipatorischen Initiativen zur Gestaltung, Erprobung und Bewertung künftiger gesellschaftlicher, wirtschaftlicher und politischer Regelwerke, und deren Innovationen und Disruptionen. Gesucht wird daher eine im Bereich der experimentellen Spielentwicklung erfolgreiche international vernetzte Persönlichkeit, die zeitgenössische kritische Reflexion der Gaming-Kultur anerkanntermaßen maßgeblich beeinflusst und das Fach unter den spezifischen Gegebenheiten einer auf Transdisziplinarität und gesellschaftliche Wirkungskraft abzielenden Kunstuniversität etablieren und nach außen vertreten kann. Voraussetzung dafür sind das Erkennen aktueller gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen als wesentliche Handlungsfelder für interdisziplinär vernetzte Entwicklungsprozesse, das Herstellen von konkreten Verbindungen zu kultur- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungsfeldern und das Verständnis, dass die Wirkungspotenziale der eigenen Arbeit in einem gesellschaftlichen Verantwortungszusammenhang stehen. Erwartet werden - ausgewiesene Erfahrung in der disziplinenübergreifenden Gestaltung und Konzeption von Spielen sowie herausragende Expertise in der Entwicklung innovativer Gaming-Projekte, - didaktische Fähigkeiten und Begeisterungsfähigkeit in der Arbeit mit den Studierenden sowie idealerweise universitäre Lehrerfahrung, - die Unterstützung der Studierenden in der Entwicklung einer kritischen, politisch und sozial relevanten gestalterischen Grundhaltung, - Wissen und Erfahrung in partizipativen Prozessen, interdisziplinärer Arbeitsweise und Forschungs-basiertem Arbeiten hat, - die Etablierung eines für die Angewandte neuen interdisziplinären Forschungsfelds durch Publikationen, Projekte, Kooperationen, - nationale und internationale Kontakte im Bereich der Game-Entwicklung zur Unterstützung der Studierenden und Absolvent_innen beim Aufbau von nationalen und internationalen Netzwerken - Unterstützung außenwirksame Aktivitäten der Angewandten im Bereich Game-Entwicklung (Ausstellungen, Veranstaltungen, Kooperationsprojekte mit außeruniversitären Partnern) - Bereitschaft zur Mitarbeit an der (Weiter-) Entwicklung des Curriculums Masterstudium Game Art / Game Design [Arbeitstitel] - Bereitschaft zur Wahrnehmung von Aufgaben im Bereich der universitären Selbstverwaltung sowie von administrativen Aufgaben im Rahmen des Studienbetriebs an der Universität - Leitungskompetenz und Teamfähigkeit im Zusammenhang mit dem Aufbau der entsprechenden Abteilung und eines Mitarbeiterstabs; Unterrichtssprache ist Englisch. Deutschkenntnisse sind von Vorteil, aber nicht zwingend. Das verhandelbare Mindestgehalt für Professor_innen beträgt laut Kollektivvertrag Euro 5.245,60 brutto monatlich, 14 x im Jahr. Die Universität strebt eine Erhöhung des Frauenanteils an und fordert deshalb qualifizierte Frauen ausdrücklich zur Bewerbung auf. Frauen werden bei gleicher Qualifikation bevorzugt aufgenommen. Bewerbungen sind in englischer Sprache und elektronischer Form bis 6. Jänner 2021 (Einlangen an der Universität) unter Beibringung umfassender Unterlagen über Lebenslauf und wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten (Publikationsverzeichnis, Anschluss von digital verfügbaren Schriften) sowie einer kurzen Zusammenfassung der persönlichen Vorstellungen von der Lehrtätigkeit an den Rektor der Universität für angewandte Kunst (rekto...@uni-ak.ac.at) zu richten.

AI, Art and Nature Conference Berlin, November 4, 2019 The conference AI, Art and Nature at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Berlin will bring together artists who deal with “nature” and at the same time explore artificial intelligence (AI) to discuss the following questions with various scientists and experts: How does working with AI is influencing our perspective of nature? Which ethical and aesthetic questions arise in the artistic confrontation with AI? What is the relationship between “artificial” and “natural” intelligence? With Thomas Bächle (Humboldt Institut für Internet und Gesellschaft Berlin), Anna Dumitriu (Artist, Brighton), Nausikaä El-Mecky (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona), Peter Freund (Artist, Universitat de Barcelona), Adam Harvey (Artist, Berlin/New York), Alex May (Artist, Brighton), and Ingeborg Reichle (Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien). The interdisciplinary research group VERANTWORTUNG: MASCHINELLES LERNEN UND KÜNSTLICHE INTELLIGENZ is addressing questions of ethical and legal responsibility that arise in the digital era through machine learning and artificial intelligence: Computer systems will in future increasingly assist us in both private and professional contexts, or will entirely take over activities that have until now been carried out by people. The use of “intelligent” systems can open up great opportunities, since the strengths of such systems lie where many humans have deficits, for example in the recognition of patterns and correlations in large datasets. Whether it be diagnosis in the field of health, optimising resources in the energy sector or improvements in the education system – the application of artificial intelligence has great potential. But what if some people are disadvantaged or physically harmed? Who is responsible for such actions, which are not directly carried out by humans? Those who selected and entered the data, those who programmed the algorithm, or those who did not monitor the system well enough? Must we therefore rethink “responsibility” or does our existing understanding of it suffice for the new technical possibilities? What consequences must we draw from the current developments? The goal of the interdisciplinary research group is on the one hand to describe which challenges for responsibility in both an ethical and a legal sense arise from automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence in the digital era. On the other hand, specific recommendations will also be made for how in certain fields – for example medical diagnosis – we can engage well with the new technologies. The research profile of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities is shaped by efforts to promote cultural heritage. It is the only Academy in Germany to pursue a large number of inter- and cross-disciplinary research projects on topics of future relevance. The Academy’s activities focus also on conducting research in the humanities, exploring future scientific and social issues on an interdisciplinary level, as well as promoting dialogue between science and society. 79 Nobel laureates have shaped the Academy’s history, which goes back to the Society of Sciences of the Elector of Brandenburg (Kurfürstlich Brandenburgische Sozietät der Wissenschaften). It was founded in 1700 by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716). From the very beginnings, this institution united the natural sciences and the humanities, which made it the prototype for many academies that followed. As the Prussian Academy of Sciences (Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften) the academy gained international recognition and fame. Many great names have left a mark on the Academy’s history of more than 300 years. They include the Brothers Grimm, Wilhelm and Alexander von Humboldt, physicist Lise Meitner, scholar and ancient historian Theodor Mommsen, as well as physicists Albert Einstein and Max Planck. Today the Academy is an interdisciplinary association of scholars with approximately 300 elected members – who are all outstanding representatives of their fields – and collaborates with scientists worldwide. Time: 6pm-9pm Date: November 4, 2019 Venue: Akademiegebäude am Gendarmenmarkt, Leibniz-Saal, Markgrafenstraße 38, 10117 Berlin www.bbaw.de -- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.in-mind.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
[rohrpost] CFP: Taboo - Transgression - Transcendence in Art and Science, University of Applied Arts, Vienna, Austria, November 26–28, 2020
TTT2020: Call for papers, posters and artist-talks CFP: Taboo - Transgression - Transcendence in Art and Science Deadline for proposals: March 31, 2020 The University of Applied Arts, Vienna, Austria, November 26–28, 2020 The fourth international conference "Taboo - Transgression - Transcendence in Art and Science" will take place from November 26–28, 2020 in Vienna, hosted by the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Including theoretical and art practice presentations, TTT2020 continues to focus: (a) on questions about the nature of the forbidden and aesthetics of liminality as expressed in art that uses or is inspired by technology and science; (b) on the opening of spaces for creative transformation in the merging of science and art. What constitutes the unstable limits of what can be morally and epistemically accepted should be read within the historical horizons of cultures and circumstances. After all, what seems outrageously transgressive at one moment in time and from one perspective, may eventually transcend into a commonplace practice. As we experience and even endorse a gradual, but substantial, de-centering away from anthropocentric values and ontologies, potentially critique harbours turmoil. Art practices pose critical questions about our certainties; sciences and humanities constantly test our limits and our ideas of worlds by pushing forward the conditions in which knowledge is produced. Developments in science and technology, that seem to enhance the borders of our experience of worlds and selves, revealing sometimes the fragility of social values, should be interrogated. Identities, ideologies, multiplicities, worlds, and visions are accepted and rejected, invented and destroyed; what are the forces behind and beyond? We propose critique within a transdiscipline, where science, arts, and humanities meet in a research quest, in an attempt at reframing and reconfiguring what there is. Through immersion in the complex realm of limits and liminalities, one might trace the historical and trans-subjective structures filtering our experience of worlds, and ultimately open up space for transformations through the interaction of art, science, and the humanities. Submissions are welcome from all art and research fields and cutting-edge technology in art research. Suggested, but not exclusive topics, are those associated with: Biopunk, hybridity and aesthetics of mutation; Cyborg, augmentation and bοdy modification; Post-gender, transgressive identities and social models; Psychopharmacology, somatechnology, and post-humanism; Chemistry of the mind, natural healers, and mind enhancement; Biotechnology, DIYbio, and biohacking; Ethology, human and nonhuman; Evolution, genetics, and extended evolutionary synthesis; Cyber-eroticism, sex technology, and techno-lust; Biopolitics, displacement, and resistance. The conference language is English. Proposals are submitted for consideration to the members of the scientific and artistic committee. Each proposal must include: abstract (which should be no more than 500 words), presentation title, author(s)/artist(s) name(s), affiliation(s), e-mail address(es), up to 5 keywords, short CV / resumé (no more than 150 words). Submissions must be sent electronically through the EasyChair submissions system for the TTT2020 conference.

[rohrpost] Conference: La Fabrique du vivant, Musée national d’art moderne-Centre Pompidou, Paris, March 30, 2019
“La Fabrique du vivant”, Paris, March 30, 2019 Organization: IRCAM/Musée national d’art moderne-Centre Pompidou. The exhibition “La Fabrique du vivant” at the Centre Pompidou in Paris looks back at the archeology of the living and artificial life and presents the most important creations and innovations in the domains of art, design, architecture, and music with works by 50 creatives. The exhibit’s material evolves; certain works call upon processes of growth or degeneration. A hundred projects are shown, several of which were imagined especially for the occasion. This one day conference features a dialogue between the exhibition’s curators and artists in the fields of biotechnologies, human and social sciences on the major themes addressed: engineering nature and bio-materials, programming the living and modelling the living, evolving systems and bio-computational architecture. 1:30-2:30pm | Introduction Marie-Ange Brayer and Olivier Zeitoun, curators 2:30-4pm | Engineering Nature Between nature and technology, design calls upon “bio-fabrication”, on new “disruptive technologies” of the living that do not lead to a form, but to a process. Bio materials, made with biological organisms (mushroom mycelium, Laminar seaweed, bacteria, yeasts, etc.) lead to new, sustainable, and biodegradable objects. Design provides research with new morphologies inspired by life. Led by Jan Boelen (Z33 Hasselt / Atelier LUMA) With Eric Klarenbeek and Maartje Dros (artists) Maurizio Montalti (Officina Corpuscoli, The Netherlands) David Benjamin (architect) Teresa van Dongen (designer) Guillian Graves (designer) Stéphane Douady (physicist, director of research CNRS) 4-4:30pm | Break 4:30-6pm | Program the Living Today, artists explore the “living” in laboratories by diving into the heart of material and the invisible, questioning boundaries between the living and the non-living. Here, life sciences, genetic engineering, molecular biology, tissue cultures are used as an artistic medium. A new, living materiality is explored, raising the question of the role of humans in their environment. Led by Olivier Zeitoun (Centre Pompidou) With Amy Karle (artist) Hongjie Yang (designer, researcher) Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg (artist, designer) Julian Melchiorri (engineer, designer) Donald Ingberg (biologist and director of the Wyss Institute, University of Harvard) Philippe Marlière (biologist) 6-7:30pm | Modelling the Living: Scalable Systems and Bio-Computational Architecture The architects simulate scalable systems of living growth to develop a bio-computational architecture. The manipulation of natural phenomena is coupled with digital fabrication techniques to inaugurate a true meta-ecology. Micro-organisms transform into an architectural medium and construction material.

[rohrpost] CALL 2019: Artistic Research PhD Programme, University of Applied Arts Vienna
ARTISTIC RESEARCH PhD PROGRAMME at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, Austria Application deadline: 21 February 2019 / Programme start: October 2019 The University of Applied Arts Vienna invites potential candidates to apply for the Artistic Research PhD Programme (PhD in Art). The Artistic Research PhD programme is a postgraduate course of study in the field of art. The six-semester programme of study, conducted in English, concludes with the award of an internationally recognized PhD. The course of study is set up around themes and practices of artistic research, whereby the focus is on artistic work that is understood as a basis for knowledge production. Reflection on and exploration of specific methods and production processes in the course of each student’s realization of his/her own artistic project is integrated into its development as a key component of the research work. The thesis consists of an artistic work as well as a reflexive documentation of the knowledge gain yielded by the project. Research, understood in the sense of comprehensive knowledge production, is defined as an open-ended process. The programme qualifies its graduates to conduct individual artistic research activity in accord with international standards and to assume coordinating and leadership positions. It engenders in its artists the capacity to generate new knowledge on specific problem fields in the arts, to contextualize their own artistic research, and to communicate the resulting knowledge gain in an adequate manner. Graduates have at their disposal the competences necessary to position themselves successfully within the national and international artistic environment. Doctoral candidates are overseen by professors at the Angewandte – who are recommended by the same commission that is responsible for their selection – with the support of the Zentrum Fokus Forschung. The prerequisites for the programme are proof of general eligibility for postgraduate university admission and the positive completion of the admission procedure. In addition to providing proof of qualification in terms of artistic development – documented by the submission of a CV and a portfolio of artistic work – candidates must also submit a written exposé outlining their planned activity within the field of artistic research (max. 2,000 words). It should include the explicit research question and discuss the research context, methodology, project goal and ideas for reflexive documentation while also providing a contextual and temporal plan for the project’s realization. The proposal should be preceded by an abstract (max. 450 words) including the explicit research question. Of particular importance among the selection criteria (see admission procedure) are up-to-dateness, innovation potential and the potential social relevance of the planned artistic research activity, as well as the demonstration of knowledge of the national and international research context. The documents for the admission procedure (CV, portfolio, exposé, all in English) should be sent no later than 21 February 2019 in PDF format (surname_cv.pdf, surname_port.pdf, surname_exp.pdf) via email under the subject heading “surname Participation PhDArt” to z...@uni-ak.ac.at. The PDF may contain links for downloading relevant material in widely used digital formats. The attachments themselves should not exceed a data volume of 10 MB. The results of the admission procedure will be communicated to applicants by August 2019 at the latest.

[rohrpost] Call: »Planetary Glitch« Web Residencies by Akademie Schloss Solitude and ZKM (curated by Mary Maggic)
Web Residencies by Akademie Schloss Solitude and ZKM https://webresidencies-solitude-zkm.com/ Deadline: January 6, 2019 »Alienation is the labor of freedom’s construction.« -Laboria Cuboniks– As petroleum burns ceaselessly, cutting holes in the atmosphere… As hormones, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals colonize every watery body… As rare-earth mining and e-waste amplify for our cars, computers, and smartphone convenience… And as micro-plastics and PCBs nest in the microscopic cracks of our biology, birthing a new »toxic progeny (1)«… This planet glitches, queering our notions of normal and natural. We live in an alien landscape, one that we no longer know. Call for Web Residencies by Solitude & ZKM »Planetary Glitch« Curated by Mary Maggic Deadline: January 6, 2019 Read the call in English (below), Chinese, Indonesian, French, Farsi Climate change, rising sea-levels and the chemical alteration and industrialization of the planet have been largely driven by patriarchal, hegemonic, capitalist forces. These are the very same forces that uphold the all too familiar systems that devalue nonmales, migrants, animals, and nature, and justify the overall exploitation of the planet. This collective mutagenesis paralyzes us as much as it should mobilize us, urging us to seek solidarity and symbiosis among industrial and ecological ruins. Like Xenofeminism suggests, we must seize this »alienation as an impetus to generate new worlds (2),« new myths, new disobediences, and new commonalities. Let us change the course of this alienation. Both now and the future require a new commons, harnessed and transformed out of the planetary glitch that implicates and connects us all. In response, can we create open–source strategies founded in inclusion, diversity, balance, and equity? Tactics which undermine the glorification of technology and technosolutionism, and remain ever-critical? Might we find resistance in imaginations of the new normal and the new natural? As the mechanical glitch of computers resist their binary language, so too does glitch act as a »much-needed erratum (3)« to our current systems of violence. »The glitch is the catalyst, not the error. The glitch is the happy accident.« -Legacy Russell- This is a call for artists, designers, (bio)hackers, technologists, storytellers, writers, healers and shape-shifters to create new open–source strategies for undoing the trap of this planetary shift. Among these strategies may include kitchen recipes for eating the other, pleasure tutorials, witchcraft and alchemy, collective coping mechanisms, online networks of care, information emancipation, training exercises for becoming-with our mutations, biohacking protocols for freeing toxic substances from their molecular mystique, and digital tools for radical interconnectedness.

Selected projects should be carried out in open-source formats that are well-documented, shareable, and consider the accessibility of its users, who may range in age, race, gender, economic class, and ability. Application Submit your project proposal in the form of: – a headline – a concept text in English (1,000–1,500 characters with spaces) – a header image (high resolution, landscape format) – a short bio in English (500 characters with spaces) – a portfolio PDF (images, text, links) Grant For each call, the curator selects four project proposals, whose creators are rewarded with a four-week residency and 750 USD. All selected web residents are nominated for the production prize HASH by Solitude & ZKM which will be awarded in 2019. Timeline Call release: Nov 23, 2018 Applications: until Jan 6, 2019 (midnight) Web residencies: Jan 14 – Feb 11, 2019 Web residencies In 2016, Akademie Schloss Solitude launched the web residencies to encourage young talents of the international digital scene and artists from all disciplines dealing with web-based practices. ZKM has been program partner since 2017. For each call, the curator selects four project proposals whose creators receive a four-week residency and 750 USD. Artists are invited to experiment with digital technologies and new art forms, and reflect on the topics set by the curators. Web residencies are carried out exclusively online, and the works are presented on schloss-post.com and web-residencies.zkm.de. Artists and students of all disciplines as well as former or current Solitude fellows may apply. There is no age limit. Learn more about the program.

[rohrpost] exhibition opening: Espacios de Especies / Species Spaces, Centro Cultura Digital, Mexico City, November 10, 2018
N FESTIVAL - arte, ciencia y tecnología, Mexico City EXPOSICIÓN ESPACIOS DE ESPECIES CCD DEL 10/11 AL 15/02 INAUGURACIÓN / opening on November 10, 2018 at 12:00 Location: Centro Cultura Digital (https://centroculturadigital.mx) Paseo de Reforma s/n Esquina Lieja Colonia Juárez - C.P. 06600 Mexico From November 10, 2018 to February 15, 2019, N will gather in Mexico City the knowledge of different organisations and collectives, who work within the intercrossing of art, science and technology (www.nfestival.mx). In this edition the participating instances will discuss and develop the topic of epigenetics. The main idea is to think of space as something constructed and negotiated within and throughout multiple agents and agencies. Space is the result of interrelations based on the mutual dependence of environments and organisms. From the horizon of ecology and evolution, it is a question of understanding the conditioned-conditioning relationship in space, that is, how living organisms condition the environment, while at the same time it is conditioned by them. N will take place at the Centro de Cultura Digital and the UNAM. The works presented in the exhibition Espacios de Especies / Species Spaces question the categories of adaptation, variation and speciation based on the relationship of reciprocity between living organisms and the environment. These same themes are being debated in contemporary biology, which opposes the gencentric paradigm and opts for an epigenetic perspective. The causal reciprocity between organism(s) and environment(s) and the idea that the structural/functional details of the organism are not completely codified in the genome is explored from a point of view that considers space - understood in a broad sense - as a fundamental factor of interaction and continuous formation. The exhibition will take place at the Centro de Cultura Digital from the 10 of November to the 15 of February and is curated by Maria Antonia González Valerio.

[rohrpost] Teaching for the Future: Grand Challenges in Twenty-First Century Higher Education, panel discussion at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, October 31
Teaching for the Future: Grand Challenges in Twenty-First Century Higher Education October 31, 2018 at 6 pm PANEL DISCUSSION at the University of Applied Arts Vienna Venue: Vordere Zollamtsstraße 7 (FLUX 2), 1030 Vienna, Austria Participants: Gerald Bast, Rector of the University of Applied Arts Vienna, Austria Ingeborg Reichle, Chair of the Department of Media Theory, University of Applied Arts Vienna, Austria Guna Nadarajan, Dean of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA Shalini Randeria, Rector of the Institute for Human Sciences, Vienna, Austria and Professor of Social Anthropology and Sociology at the Graduate Institute, Geneva, Switzerland The panel discussion Teaching for the Future will provide an opportunity to set out a debate on how the rise of Grand Challenges will affect the requirements and standards of twenty-first century higher education. Our societies are currently facing tremendous social challenges and ecological threats, such as climate change, environmental collapse, mass migration, violations of human rights, social inequality and poverty, the slow erosion of democratic systems and constitutional structures or mass unemployment in times of digital transformation and the rise of robotics. Grand Challenges touch upon many facets of human existence, be it in a material, economic, environmental, social, cultural, technological, political, medical, aesthetic or moral sense, and cannot be tackled by single disciplines alone. Today an increasing number of universities seek to contribute to solving major societal and ecological challenges — demonstrating the value of university research and education. However, the nature of Grand Challenge programmes is most notably cross-disciplinary and requires collaboration across sectors and disciplinary boundaries and is therefore not in tune with the social and administrative contours of our modern disciplines and their subsystems, which exhibit a high degree of specialization. Disciplines have established themselves as efficient systems of knowledge production and dissemination of scientific knowledge acquisition over the past two hundred years and are the driving forces behind those administrative structures that foster the fragmentation of curricula in our systems of higher education. Yet if highly specialized, disciplinary studies will be able to meet the demands of a world in transition is increasingly called into question today. Actually, a whole range of alternative models is being explored in the field of higher education, ranging from interdisciplinary courses to solid holistic approaches that aim to bring the full diversity of human ways of knowing and capabilities together in an integrative educational approach. Integrative study models consciously seek to bridge the gap between different forms of knowledge and understanding, as well as the different pedagogical approaches of a variety of disciplines, such as the humanities, the arts, the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics, and medicine, as well as new technologies to prepare students better for work, life, and twenty-first century citizenship. Learning outcomes associated with integrated education, such as critical and holistic thinking, communication, and teamwork skills and abilities for lifelong learning, are more and more favoured in a world that is confronted with enormous strides in technology, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and communications. However, integrative education can take many forms and has many different faces, but it always requires an intensive analysis of diverse didactic models, which places far-reaching demands on the teaching staff. These new requirements can range from the development of a fundamentally new didactic-methodological framework of cross-disciplinary curricula to the selection and evaluation of external content as well as cooperation with new (external) sectors or dealing with the rise of education technology. This development places new expectations on teachers, changing their role from a provider of specialized knowledge to an innovator and mentor, who is primarily building bridges between different epistemologies and diverse fields of knowledge and aims primarily to foster holistic student development in a global and progressively disruptive world. Gerald Bast is the Rector of the University of Applied Arts Vienna, since the year 2000. He studied law and economics, worked between 1980 and 1999 at the Austrian Federal ministry for Higher Education and Research, responsible for university law and university reforms. As an author and editor, he has published on various subjects of university law and university management, cultural policy, artistic research and the role of higher art education in 21st century societies. He held numerous lectures on cultural policy, higher art education and the mission of art schools for creative innovation socie

[rohrpost] Presseinfo: Peter-Weibel-Forschungsinstitut für digitale Medienkulturen
Neues Forschungsinstitut für digitale Medienkulturen an Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien Heute wurde der Grundstein für die Errichtung des neuen Peter-Weibel-Forschungsinstituts für digitale Medienkulturen an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien gelegt: Künstler und Universitätsprofessor Peter Weibel unterzeichnete die Dokumente, welche die Schenkung seines Archivs an die Angewandte beinhaltet. Auf Grundlage dessen wird nun das neue Forschungsinstitut eingerichtet. „Mit der Digitalität tritt eine neue Kulturtechnik auf, welche uns eine unvorhersehbare Zukunft eröffnet, denn mit dem digitalen Code können Worte, Bilder und Töne und sogar Dinge in Daten verwandelt werden. Während Worte und Bilder nicht direkt in Dinge rückverwandelt werden konnten, ist der Prozess zwischen Dingen, Texten, Tönen, Bildern und Daten zum ersten Mal in der Kulturgeschichte der Menschheit reversibel. Daten können in Töne, Texte und Bilder rückverwandelt werden und mit dem 3D-Druck können Daten sogar in Dinge überführt werden. Bisher waren alle Notationssysteme der Kultur, von der Schrift bis zur Musik, mehrheitlich zweidimensional. Mit Computersimulationen und 3D-Verfahren eröffnen wir den Horizont für 3D-Notationssysteme“, erläuterte Weibel und legt seine Motive für die Schenkung an die Angewandte offen: „Der Erforschung dieser neuen Kulturtechniken wird sich das neu gegründete Institut widmen. Es kann dabei auf die großartigen historischen Leistungen der Universität für Angewandte Kunst Wien seit ihrer Gründung vor 150 Jahren zurückgreifen und sich ebenso auf die neue transmediale und transkulturelle Forschungsausrichtung stützen. Die Bereitschaft des Ministeriums, dieses Forschungsinstitut gemeinsam mit der Universität zu gründen, ist ein Zeichen dafür, dass die Wichtigkeit des digitalen Wandels für Wirtschaft und Kultur erkannt wird.“ „Peter Weibel ist einer der großen Pioniere und Vordenker der europäischen Medienkunst. Es freut mich daher ganz besonders, dass mit der großzügigen Schenkung seines Archivs den Lehrenden und Studierenden neue geistige Nahrung zur künstlerischen Entfaltung gegeben wird. Seine Werke legen aber auch gleichzeitig den Grundstein für das neue Peter-Weibel-Forschungsinstitut für digitale Medienkulturen. Damit können wir künftig die Etablierung und Forschung zu Medienkunst und Digitalisierung verstärkt vorantreiben und weltweite Kooperationen mit Universitäten, Forschungsinstitutionen und Museen forcieren. Gerade der digitale Wandel erfordert es, dass wir verstärkt disziplinenübergreifend arbeiten.“, so Wissenschaftsminister Harald Mahrer. In das neue Forschungsinstitut investiert das Bundesministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Wirtschaft für die Jahre 2017 und 2018 einen Gesamtbetrag von 480.000 Euro. Anschließend erfolgt eine entsprechende Berücksichtigung in der kommenden Leistungsvereinbarung. Dass das neue Institut die Ausweitung des künstlerischen Medienbegriffes durch die Implementierung neuester Technologien (Artificial Intelligence, Genetic Engineering, Synthetic Biology, etc.) in den künstlerischen Prozess und die Analyse der gesellschaftlichen Wirkungspotenziale dieser neuen Kunstformen unterstützen soll, legt Uni-Rektor Bast dar. „Die Angewandte wird das Peter-Weibel-Forschungsinstitut für digitale Medienkulturen betreiben, eine künstlerische Leitung und unterstützendes Personal einsetzen und angestellte Doktorand_innen werden sich der wissenschaftlichen und der künstlerischen Forschung widmen.“ Es wird in der Hinteren Zollamtsstrasse 17, 1030 Wien angesiedelt, wo auch das Institut für Digitale Medienkunst unter der Leitung von Ruth Schnell ab Frühling 2018 und die neue Abteilung für Cross-Disciplinary Strategies unter der Leitung von Ingeborg Reichle ab sofort beheimatet sind. Das Weibel-Archiv besteht aus rund 1170 Exponaten und einer umfangreichen Bibliothek. Unter den Exponaten befinden sich Fotografien, Textcollagen, Videos, DVDs, CDs, Installationen, Video- und Computerinstallationen, Bildschirme, Aufkleber, Gedichte, Digitale Prints, Fahnen, Ausdrucke, Proofs, Plakate, Einzelteile, Zeitungsausschnitte, Postkarten, Druckgrafiken, Projektionen, iPads, Filmdosen, Leinwände, Papier-Karton-Arbeiten, Zeichnungen, Textsteine, Skulpturen, Offset-Prints, Polaroids, Texte, Tonbändern, Siebdrucke, Objekte und 3D-Drucke. Sämtliche Schenkungsgegenstände werden in das Forschungsinstitut eingebracht, ausgenommen jener geschenkter Kunstwerke, welche in die Kunstsammlung der Angewandten aufgenommen werden. Die Schenkung umfasst auch die Verwertungs- und Werknutzungsrechte der geschenkten Objekte. Peter Weibel ist einer der weltweit bekanntesten und profiliertesten Medienkünstler und Medientheoretiker, Gründer des ersten europäischen Medienkunst-Studiums an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien, emeritierter Universitätsprofessor der Angewandten und Direktor des Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie im deutschen Karlsruhe (ZKM).

[rohrpost] KLAS Workshop "AESTHETICS get SYNTHETIC: Knowledge Link Through Art & Science", Potsdam, Max Planck Campus, November 27-28, 2017
The “AESTHETICS get SYNTHETIC” workshop will take place in the Main hall of the Max Planck Campus in Potsdam-Golm in the afternoon on November 27-28, 2017. This workshop is an opportunity to bring together scholars and practitioners to jointly discuss and reflect on contents, approaches and methodologies that draw the link between synthetic biology and artistic research and how those can synergically interact by mutually interrogating and reconsidering their methodologies and modes of operation in an Artist in Residence programme like KLAS. In this workshop is particularly interested in discussions and perspectives that explore how different institutions, organizations and interest groups with relevant expertise and knowledge of research, innovation and education address contemporary challenges of future developments in and beyond their respective knowledge silos. Artistic practices and scientific research – how can they benefit one from the other? What is the benefit of art-science collaboration – is it about the outcome, the process, can we frame or justify its utility or usefulness. What are the personal experiences in relation to the knowledge / conceptual / methodological exchange between art and science? What are the current trends and what are the expectations for the near future in Synthetic Biology? and in Art?

These are the questions tackled by computational neurosciences, a research field comprising many scientific disciplines - reaching from mathematics, physics, biology, medicine to engineering and psychology. With “On Display – An Artistic View on Computational Neuroscience / Auf dem (Bild)schirm: Computational Neuroscience im Blickwinkel der Kunst”, the Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience seeks to build a bridge to the general public with a Science and Society Session at the annual Bernstein Conference 2018 in Berlin. Artists are invited to approach cutting-edge research questions in computational neuroscience from an artistic perspective. Ideally, this will also reflect back on the scientific community’s own frame of reference. The artistic approach should spark a dialogue about philosophical, ethical and socio-cultural aspects of computational neuroscience. This could entail the elaboration of opportunities and threats of brain-computer interfaces, neurorobotics, autonomous cars, intelligent networks, artificial intelligence or big data. Artists are requested to submit all kinds of innovative concepts. The artistic strategy is entirely free and not narrowed down to a particular technique. We welcome ideas in the field of visual art, digital art or hybrid art containing analogous, digital or biomedical forms – provided the final artistic involvement contains interactive elements. This call is open to artists internationally. The project The artist gets in touch with one, two or more research groups of the Bernstein Network to get a grasp of their scientific approach. The aim of the project is to generate a productive mutual exchange of ideas and perspectives between the artist and the researchers in the Bernstein Network. If requested, the Bernstein Coordination Site (BCOS) will be happy to assist in finding a suitable match for the artist’s ideas. The selected artist should develop a piece of art, which will be showcased at the Bernstein Conference 2018 in Berlin (September 25- 28, 2018) and s/he will commit her/ himself to actively participate in a panel discussion together with the participating researchers as well as experts from art history, philosophy and ethics. The artist should be present for the entire duration of the Bernstein Conference and engage with members of the general public, the press as well as the scientific delegates. The Jury/ Organizing Committee The jury consists of members of the Bernstein Network as well as experts in science and art history who are experienced with bridging art and science.

[rohrpost] CFP: Challenging Corporealities: Reconfigurations between Materiality and Discursivity, International Conference – Barcelona, 9th-10th November, 2017
CFP Deadline: June 25th 2017 1st International Conference "Challenging Corporalities: reconfigurations between materiality and discursiveness" Universitat de Barcelona, 9th and 10th November 2017 https://challengingcorporealities.wordpress.com/ Organized by the AASD Research Group – Art, Architecture and Digital Societat – of the Universitat de Barcelona in the framework of the research project subsidized by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness “Art, Architecture and New Materialism”. November 9-10, 2017, at the Faculty of Geography and History (UB). C / Montalegre 6-8. 08001 Barcelona. Recent years have seen a proliferation of discourses that have variously approached the divide intrinsic to the Cartesian conception of the self or subject. The division between mind and body, along with other dualisms (natural/artificial, human/non-human, living/dead… ), has contributed to sustaining an anthropocentric worldview that can no longer account for the emerging practices and discourses that are trying to return materiality to the spotlight. Challenging Corporealities: Reconfigurations between Materiality and Discursivity aims at bringing together researchers working on recent material and discursive reconfigurations that have set out to explore the corporeal: politicizations of discomfort in which the causality of material conditions is once again taken into consideration; the decentring of the subject to highlight object agency and “vibrant materialities”; discourses on biological issues that challenge normative conceptions of sex and gender through corporeal materiality; concepts and theories offering alternative tools to approach the corporeal in artistic creation, and other phenomena in which the hitherto neglected body is given greater significance. The three thematic focal points of the conference are the following: Techno-scientific bodies Poetics of the body in contemporary dance Embodiments of discomfort Techno-scientific bodies This panel encourages submissions dealing with artistic discourses and practices that are situated at the multiple intersections between body, science, and technology. Topics covered in the proposals may include (but are not limited) to the following: New forms of corporeality, identity or subjectivity associated with the techno-scientific Redefinitions of nature and the living by means of techno-science Corporeal explorations in bio art, robot art, bionic art, biotechnological art, digital art, artistic practices involving artificial life, etc. Biopolitical discourses and practices related to the use of new technologies New techno-scientific imageries Methodologies to approach artistic practices that establish a link between body and techno-science. Keynote: Dr. Marina Núñez (Universidad de Vigo) Poetics of the body in contemporary dance The proposals to be presented in this panel will deal with the new role of the body in contemporary dance. Their analysis of the body and contemporary dance practices will be framed by theories of dance and phenomenological philosophy. Topics to be analysed include: The body and phenomenology in dance The body as an imaginary construct The thinking and feeling body in postmodern dance The new objectivity of the moving body New poetics of the body in dance Keynote: Dr. Roberto Fratini (Institut del Teatre, Barcelona) Embodiments of discomfort Under the heading “embodiments of discomfort,” we wish to gather a series of contributions approaching the topic from two angles: On the one hand, we are interested in proposals that look at recent phenomena by means of theories of affect, welfare and gender. On the other hand, this panel encourages submissions from researchers who seek an understanding of cultural practices embodying recent political crises, with a particular focus on those practices thematising geo-political events beyond a Euro-American framework. Politicizations of discomfort Welfare ethics in artistic processes Artistic performances in dictatorial regimes and other cultures marked by state intervention Approaches to actionism in countries with socialist and communist societies or heritage Performative redefinitions of cultural categories such as sex, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Novel readings of actionist art Bodily trash Keynotes: Marcelo Expósito –member of the academic direction of Independent Studies Program (PEI), MACBA- and Dr. Pavlína Morganová –Academy of Fine Arts, Prague-. People who are interested in participating are invited to send an abstract by June 25th 2017 to the following e-mail address: challengingcorporealit...@gmail.com. Papers can be carried out in English, Catalan and Spanish. In order to facilitate the communication between the attendees we ask that they be done in English or that a version of the paper in this language will be prepared.

The workshop and the Angewandte Innovation Laboratory Talk of the Mexican philosopher María Antonia González Valerio is part of the research collaboration “Question about the Limits: Art, Science, and Philosophy” between the Department of Media Theory, University of Applied Arts Vienna, and the Faculty of Philosophy and Literature, National Autonomous University of México, Mexico City. The collaboration project aims to initiate and develop a debate about the relationship of ontology and aesthetics in the age of technoscience from the perspectives of art, science, and philosophy: During the twentieth century science and technology acquired a dominant role in redefining the concept of life. Technology-driven science and research rendered the basic physical and functional unit of heredity, the gene, accessible to human manipulation, thus turning biology into technology. The genetic code and computer code became interchangeable, opening up new possible constellations for designing the biological sphere. Simultaneously we saw big shifts in the developments of the sciences in the least two decades, when fundamental principles and ways of doing science and research in the field of biotechnology began to erode, like the reproducibility of experimental settings. Today research processes are getting more and more outsourced, away from the laboratories of scientific institution to new start-ups, turning the research process into a black box for the scientist involved. On the other hand we see with the growing DIY movement cutting-edge technologies getting into the hands on non-professionals, and new genome editing technologies like CRISPR cheap and easy to use revolutionizing the question about the ontology of life. This ground-breaking development went unnoticed in the art world: it was not until the 1990s that artists began to make increased use advanced technology to explore and create new art forms, such as digital art or bioart. Science-based art emerged, enhancing progressive encounters with science and technology and shifting the terrain of art towards cutting-edge technologies and the technosciences. With the rise of bioart, a variety of new materials, such as DNA, bacteria, cells, tissue cultures, and transgenic organisms, entered the art world as a means of artistic expression. Obviously, this also made it necessary for artists to get acquainted with new epistemologies and a new logic of producing reality within the techno-scientific regime. By bringing their artistic endeavour with cutting-edge technology to the public’s attention, science-based art has provoked greater reflection on the limits of manipulating and/or creating life with biotechnology, highlighting the new genome editing technologies like CRISPR and new approaches in the field of synthetic biology. Therefore, it is high time to shed some light on the relationship of ontology and aesthetics in the age of technoscience by focusing on the production of art that is related to technoscience; not only because of the technologies it uses — and recently also biotechnologies — but most importantly because from this relationship a model emerges which is fruitful for understanding and interpreting reality. Therefore, the question “What is art?” needs to be posed in the light of an ontology that deals with technoscience and the production of reality within biotechnologies. The philosopher María Antonia González Valerio will frame the workshop with her introduction and investigation about the revival and reappraisal of natural philosophy in the light of biotechnology. Her approach, which she calls “the ontology of immanence” engages above all with predominant traditions that seek

[rohrpost] BIO-ART / DESIGN: Transdisciplinarity in Art, Science and Creativity, Symposium and Workshop, 7th - 8th March 2016, Singapore
BIO-ART / DESIGN: Transdisciplinarity in Art, Science and Creativity Symposium and Workshop 7th - 8th March 2016 School School of Art, Design & Media, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Bio-Art and Bio-Design are growing transdisciplinary fields that span the experimental fine arts, product and environmental design, medicine and medical technology, engineering, and the natural sciences especially biology and biochemistry. In fine art, it ranges from the use of living things such as bacteria and genetic engineering as materials and processes for collaborative research and creative intervention, to the transformation of non-living materials into systems that mimic or interface with a range of scientific, biological and biophysical processes. In design one focus has been on the innovative and aesthetic use of sensors, biomaterials and smart materials, including wearable technologies and medical devices that can improve the care of patients, including diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, emphasizing individual and social well-being including remote regions of the world. Some of the important issues being addressed are empathy, ethics, embodiment, sentience, ecology and sustainability. Current discourse regarding the Anthropocene and challenges of creating symbiotic relationships between humans and nature are relevant to this. Increasingly artists and designers are in residence in scientific and medical research labs, and scientists and engineers are collaborating with artists in their studios. Fields such as neuroscience, biomaterials, and biotechnologies are already being explored by artists and designers. Engineers are working with 3D printing of organic materials and collaborating with fashion designers, and inventing new technologies for use in public artworks and in architecture that clean air and green cities. There are artists, designers, scientists and engineers with multiple competencies, with expertise in art/design and science/engineering. As a quick growing transdisciplinary field with profound implications socially and environmentally, what are the potentials and challenges, including from the creative, ethical, and practical perspective? This symposium will address these and other questions related to the development of the bio-art/design field through keynote talks and panels with experts and pioneers. A workshop on day 2 will provide participants the opportunity to discuss their ideas and concerns for possible futures. Questions include: given rapid advances in hybrid physical-digital technologies, deeper scientific understanding of natural phenomena, and new approaches to artistic research, what is on the horizon for transdisciplinary creativity, and collaborations between art, design, science, medicine, and engineering? What kinds of academic and research programs should universities and research centres be conceiving or building in response, and what is needed to realize them? What would a transformative, transdisciplinary bio-art/design research laboratory, course, or curriculum in a major global research university or art school look like today and 10 years from now?

[rohrpost] Conference in Wrocław: What can art do for science? May 14, 2015, 16th Media Art Biennale WRO 2015 TEST EXPOSURE!
Conference in Wrocław: What can art do for science? 16th Media Art Biennale WRO 2015 TEST EXPOSURE! The conference is curated by Ryszard W. Kluszczyński. The conference will be interpreted to Polish and English. What can art do for science? The thesis that art has significantly transformed as a result of its contacts with science is no longer doubted. Indeed, a new area of artistic practices has appeared, known as ArtScience, SciArt or art@science. The changes to which art succumbed in effect of its closer relations with science took place in all art dimensions and aspects, both in terms of the materials and instruments used, as well as the methods applied in the artistic processes, in the created forms, the subject matter, as well as the most fundamental aesthetic issues, such as the status of the creative process, the concept of the work of art or the structure and the nature of the viewer’s experience. Art research has been keeping up with the developments above, progressing with ever greater force and reaching in their diversity beyond the issues that art has been traditionally dealing with. Thus artists are now entering domains once strictly reserved to science. The number of such projects, their nature and scope, as well we their results and consequences provoke questions not only about what science has given art, but also what art can give science.

[rohrpost] Lecture Evening on Art and Genetic Engineering The Infinity Engine by Lynn Hershman Leeson, ZKM, 27.02.2015
The Infinity Engine by Lynn Hershman Leeson A Lecture Evening on Art and Genetic Engineering Friday, 27.02.2015, 6 pm ZKM | Museum of Contemporary Art, Karlsruhe Lecture on the topic »art and genetic engineering« with Ingeborg Reichle, Uwe Strähle and Lynn Hershman Leeson. In her most recent work »The Infinity Engine« Lynn Hershman Leeson examines the impact of genetic engineering on human life. The multimedia installation, in collaboration with the biologist Josiah Zayner, was developed with reference to natural scientific genetic laboratories. One of the questions which arises in connection with photographic and film samples of the most recent achievements in molecular and cell biology, as well as genetically altered organisms, is the degree to which human interventions into DNA are ethically justifiable and what kinds of social, political and social impact these have. In so far as she develops her work as based on real research results and draws on state of the art technologies, the North American media artist presents for discussion cutting-edge knowledge in the natural sciences within the context of art. The lecture evening throws light on the »Infinity Engine« from art-historical, natural scientific and artistic perspectives: Ingeborg Reichle discusses the various elements of the complex installation against the background of laboratories in the context of art; Uwe Strähle examines the innovative work based on the practice of genetic research; while in the subsequent discussion Lynn Hershman Leeson explains the concept and realization of the work in greater detail. Lecture languages are German and English.

[rohrpost] Tagung: Evolution aus Menschenhand? Synthetische Biologie aus Labor und Atelier, Berlin, BBAW, 13. März 2015
Tagung, Berlin, 13. März 2015 Evolution aus Menschenhand? Synthetische Biologie aus Labor und Atelier Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Leibniz-Saal, Markgrafenstraße 38 (Gendarmenmarkt), 10117 Berlin Seit der Antike träumen Menschen davon, Leben künstlich zu erschaffen. Angetrieben durch die enormen Fortschritte bei der DNA-Sequenzierung und Gensynthese ist mit der Synthetischen Biologie eine Fachdisziplin entstanden, die es ermöglicht, das Erbgut von Organismen umzuprogrammieren und lebende Systeme mit Eigenschaftskombinationen herzustellen, die es in der Natur bisher nicht gegeben hat. So könnten zukünftig Lösungen für drängende Probleme in Bereichen wie Gesundheit, Umwelt und Energie gefunden werden. Gleichzeitig bringt die Synthetische Biologie neben den wissenschaftlichen auch politische, rechtliche und ethische Herausforderungen mit sich. Das Symposium „Evolution in Menschenhand? Synthetische Biologie aus Labor und Atelier“ führt mit seinem interdisziplinären Ansatz Natur- und Geisteswissenschaftler sowie Rechts- und Kulturwissenschaftler zusammen, um aktuelle Entwicklungen aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln zu diskutieren.

[rohrpost] ART MATTERS international conference 2014, Barcelona, Dec 11-12, 2014
ART MATTERS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2014 http://artmattersconference.com/ Barcelona University, Open University of Catalonia, HANGAR 11Th-12th December, 2014 Faculty of Art History, Universitat de Barcelona c/ Montalegre 6-8, 08001 Barcelona ART MATTERS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2014 (AMIC2014) Organized by the University of Barcelona (UB), the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) and HANGAR, Centre for Arts Production and Research. 11th-12th December, 2014 at the Faculty of Art History (UB). c/ Montalegre 6-8. 08001 Barcelona The materials and technologies of contemporary art invite us to reconsider, not only the role that these play in the articulation of artistic practices, but also the theoretical frameworks that demonstrate the role of the materiality itself inside Art History. These premises involve new methodological challenges and important epistemological transformations in the examination of art; challenges that must be analysed, discussed and contrasted with the long and fertile tradition of art studies. Fundamental problems such as the distribution of the agencies involved in the investigation and the artistic practice, the lines of temporal causality, the inter-connection between materialities and discoursivities, the role of the technology and the society, the spatiality and location of the art, gain relevance from the suggested challenges. Art Matters International Conference 2014 gives space for those research matters that, coming from the academy and the professional practice, rebuild the relation between art and its materiality: contributions focused on theoretical, methodological and epistemological reconsiderations and, specially, empirical studies centered on art routines and infrastructures. Perspectives such as Media Archaeology, the Actor-Network Theory or the New Materialisms contribute decisively to the possibility of blurring or even erasing preconceived ontological distinctions –inoperative today-, and traditionally supported by the framework of our modernity. We are alluding to established dichotomies such as subject/object, matter/discourse, theory/practice, social/ technological, expert/non-expert that lay out important onto-epistemic challenges to overcome. The interest of the congress is precisely to connect these new perspectives with the tradition of history, theory and art practice, starting always from both the reflection and the experience with the routines, the infrastructures and the art fields. Topics for discussion: Researches about art infrastructures: museums, art galleries, centers of production and investigation, archives, exhibition and distribution displays, art market dynamics. Investigations about objects and artistic practices: new materials, technologies inside the art field, production processes, distribution, conservation and preservation of the art and the media, etc. Other art histories and narratives: “minor” or divergent histories, non linear narratives, emergency of novelties, relational temporality and spatiality, forgotten geographical areas, etc. Onto-epistemic and methodological art frameworks: human and non-human agency, relations between practice and theory, experts and non-experts, trans/inter/meta/non-disciplinarity, etc. PROGRAMME THURSDAY, 11th DECEMBER 9:00 – 9:30 Registration 9:30 – 10:00 Welcoming Speech Conference Chairs: Lourdes Cirlot (UB), Pau Alsina (UOC), Tere Badía (Hangar) 10:00 – 11:00 Keynote: Fernando Domínguez Rubio Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication, University California, San Diego Chair: Pau Alsina 11:00 – 11:30 Coffee break 12:00 – 13:30 SESSION A: Infrastructures for an unstable heritage Chair: Lara F.

[rohrpost] new lecture series on 'Living tissues and living issues' , at the Waag Society, Amsterdam (NL), February 2014
In February 2014, Waag Society's Wetlab in Amsterdam brings a new series of three lectures by Joanne Jesman at the Waag titled 'Living tissues and living issues', as a continuation of the series The Future of Art Science Collaborations started last year in October. This new series looks at how technology shapes new relations between organisms and in turn how technology is shaped by those organisms. From an artistic, academic and sociopolitical perspective the contributions look at issues of hybridity, performativity and food as these seemingly unrelated topics have a very strong influence on how we perceive the Other and each other in modern society. These are the three evenings in this series, you can register at their respective event pages: 13 February 2013: Hybrids, Chimeras and Other Monsters Lecture: Joanne Jesman, interview: Laura Mudde, interviewee: Guy Ben-Ary, moderation: Lucas Evers, event starts 20.00 hrs, wrap drinks 21.30 hrs Hybridity is one of the most fashionable words in modern society; it is used to describe culture, architecture, media, medicine and even car engines. Thinking about mythological creatures such as the centaur and Cyclops, and the fears and anxieties those represented and tried to exorcise, hybridity shows a long and fascinating history. Only since the latest future man instead of god produces those chimeras. What is the etymology of the word and how it functions both literally and metaphorically in the era of technoscience? What is the attitude of art practitioners to hybridity? And how does the art relate to the industry of those hybrids, chimeras and their kin. Guy Ben-Ary is an artist and a researcher whose work uses emerging medias, in particular biologically related technologies (tissue culture, tissue engineering, electrophysiology and optics). Ben-Ary is an artist in resident in SymbioticA at the University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, since 2000. He specializes in microscopy (light, confocal and SEM), biological digital imaging, tissue culture and engineering and artistic visualization of biological data. His Main research areas are cybernetics, robotics and the interface of biological material to man made devices. Much of Ben-Ary’s work is inspired by science and nature. His artworks utilize motion and growth to investigate technological aspects of today’s culture and the re-use of biological materials and technologies. 17 February 2013: Gustatory Semantics Lecture: Joanne Jesman, interview: Laura Mudde, interviewee: Chloe Rutzerfeld, moderation: Lucas Evers, event starts 20.00 hrs, wrap drinks 21.30 hrs Who, what and why we eat, or not, are no longer just matters of personal preference; it is no longer a neutral topic of small talk as nowadays food is deeply marked by ethics, politics, economy and health issues. What is it going to look like in the future? Is the posthuman food chain the best solution? What are the issues reflected in food art and what are our blind spots? Chloé Rutzerveld Chloé Rutzerveld is a student at the TU/e (Technical University) in Eindhoven, and worked during her internship at the Open Wetlab in de Waag, where she organized 'The Other Dinner' for her graduation research, an experimental and interactive dinner that investigated the meat culture of the past, the present and the future combined with a DIY Bio workshop to grow cells of cultured meat. 20 February 2013: (Per)Formativity of BioArt Lecture: Joanne Jesman, interview: Laura Mudde, interviewee: Maria Verstappen and Erwin Driessens (tbc), moderation: Lucas Evers, event starts 20.00 hrs, wrap drinks 21.30 hrs The performative turn in humanities strongly influences the way we analyze reality. It does not only concern performance art but also social and political aspects of modernity. The key features of performativity are agency and embodied experience, which are also crucial in bioartistic practices. What are the contexts of our encounters with a living, artistic medium and how it impacts the way we perceive Life? In other words what do performance theory and participatory art between humans and non-humans share? Maria Verstappen, Erwin Driessens (tbc) The Amsterdam based artist couple Erwin Driessens (1963 Wessem) and Maria Verstappen (1964 Someren) have worked together since 1990. After their study at the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and the Rijksakademie Amsterdam, they jointly developed a multifaceted oeuvre of software, machines and objects. Their research focuses on the possibilities that physical, chemical and computer algorithms can offer for the development of image generating processes. Living tissues and living issues is part of The Future of Art and Science Collaborations, a joint project of Waag Society and Stichting Toekomstbeeld der Techniek, supported by the Mondriaanfund and Doen.

[rohrpost] The Future of Art Science collaborations: Lecture series 7 – 10 October, 2013, Leiden, Amsterdam, The Hague
The Future of Art Science collaborations Lecture series 7 – 10 October, 2013, Leiden, Amsterdam, The Hague The Future of Art Science Collaborations is a series of double lectures by eminent international researchers and practitioners from the field where art and science interact. From October 7-11 October the Lorentz Centre (Leiden) welcomes 25 researchers and practitioners to explore future benefits and challenges, processes and politics and collaborations between art and science. Every evening two experts talk about their distinct field of work related to a theme that is at stake concerning art science. The presentations take place at institutions that position themselves in the midst of the development of art science interactions in Leiden, The Hague and Amsterdam. The Future of Art Science Collaborations is an initiative of The Netherlands Study Centre for Technology Trends, in collaboration with Waag Society, the Royal Academy of Arts, Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science, The Arts Genomics Centre and Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Museum Boerhaave and Hortus botanicus Leiden. The Future of Art Science Collaborations is realized with the financial support from Creative Industries Fund, Mondriaan Fund and Stichting Doen. The Lectures 7 October 2013 Communicating art, communicating science (@ Hortus botanicus, Leiden) The interest for art interacting with science and vice versa seems to be gaining momentum. Interactions have a wide bandwidth between autonomous science inspired arts and arts for the sake of positivist science communications. Do both those ends gain more meaning and significance where collaborations become more intimate; where artists really work in labs and where scientists really become engaged in the artistic process? Svenja Kratz, currently working as an artist in one the biotech labs of Leiden University and Kat Austen, trained both in science and art and writing for The New Scientist, explain from their own practice. 8 October 2013 Art, Science and DIY (@ Waag, Amsterdam) A flourishing ecology of interactions between the arts and sciences can be observed the last decades, Bio Art is a diverse genre within that ecology with an interest in life and the Life Sciences. The interest in the Life Sciences Bio Art lately shares with a great number of self organised groups of DIY biologists and self taught scientists, spread across the globe and facilitated by cheap, easy to buy or self made hard- soft- and wetware. Both Bio Art artists and DIY biologists have an intimate relation with the Life Sciences and its tools, protocols and impact on society and ecology, but with great differences where comes to an aesthetic as opposed to a functional approach. What can Bio Art, DIY Biology and the Life Sciences learn from each other? Dr. Denise Kera, Assistant Professor at the University of Singapore has published extensively about Citizen Science and DIY and follows and supports science community labs and alternative RD places. Dr. Ingeborg Reichle wrote her dissertation and habilitation at Humboldt-University Berlin about artists moving their practice from the art studio to bio-technology laboratories and her current research deals with looking at contemporary science, where the search for truth and beauty and the production of compelling images suggests an almost artistic endeavour. 9 October 2013 Positivist arts, fundamental innovation (@ Royal Academy of Arts, The Hague) Neither sciences nor arts are neutral or value-free. The same counts for any form of collaboration or interaction between the fields. The arts often have a 'bias' towards an aesthetic of the ontological, specifically when it comes to the natural- and techno-science. In turn those sciences see the arts often as a rich source of inspiration for innovation. Observing this, the roles of autonomous and applied arts and of fundamental and applied sciences are often mingled and swapped, feeding productive misunderstandings and unexpected outcomes, with artist behaving like fundamental scientists and scientists with artistic ambitions. Artist Bradley Pitts tells about his relation to science, scientific institutions and scientists and Professor Petran Kockelkoren about his research into “the technological mediation of perception and the influence thereof on art and design. 10 October 2013 Art, science and the future of medical collections (@ Museum Boerhaave, Leiden) The relationship between art and medical science has a long history. For long that collaborative relationship was intimate as artist were of great importance depicting the findings of surgeons as medical science developed. Technological innovations like microscopy, photography meant a divide between the arts and medical sciences. Recently however artists again show a great interest in the advancements in medical science, with various motives, ranging from pure curiosity for medical practice to the search for new domains of artistic

Dr. Polona Tratnik (University of Primorska, Koper, Slovenia) • Dr. Melentie Pandilovski (Video Pool Media Arts Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) BioArt panel I and II: Towards a New Transaesthetics: Aesthetics and Ontology in Current Bio Art Practices Dr. Ingeborg Reichle (Humboldt-University, Berlin, Germany) During the last decade, the term ‘Bio Art’ has been the subject of vital discussions as a description of the intersecting domains of the biological sciences and their incorporation into the arts. The use of biological material like tissue culture, plant breeding, and above all genetic engineering as artistic media went hand in hand with debates about the aesthetic value and ethical-ontological consequences of bringing cutting edge science into the arts. The adoption of bioscientific techniques and methods into the arts, however, not only broached a highly controversial subject, it also opened up new ways of artistic expression. With the emerging field of Bio Art, tissue culture, bacteria, cells, and even genetically engineered organisms have become part of the art world, raising questions about the aesthetic and ontological status of live in the age of technoscience. In the last decade we have seen a number of artists questioning our concept of life while moving beyond the boundaries of art and science. Debates about changing the face of our planet through geo-engineering or debates about assembling life artificially in a petri dish through synthetic biology challenge our concept of “live” in an age, where “nature” seems to be increasingly human-made. For almost half a century the modern life sciences have been able to produce “artificial” living organisms that evolution has not brought forth so far by using the methods and techniques of genetic engineering. The concept of life as technology has been one of the starting points of producing “biofacts,” which owe their existence solely to the culture of experimentation and the expanding systems of apparatus in the laboratory. The term biofact was introduced a few years ago by the philosopher Nicole C. Karafyllis to restate a systematic term for technically manipulated life by substituting “arti” with “bio” in the word “artifact”. Until recently we understood artifacts are artificial, constructed, and created objects. Previously, constructed objects always belonged to the domain of things. An artifact always stands for a thing, made by humans using skills and techniques, and it is a collective name for artificially created things as diverse as buildings, artworks, or machinery. Biofacts can be regarded as biological artifacts, which mean they are, or have been, alive. This conceptual deficiency, amongst other reasons, arose because the technological philosophy up to now was focusing to systematize technology and viewing “nature” always as “the other” or “opposite” of technology. The contributions to the panel “Towards a New Transaesthetics: Aesthetics and Ontology in Current Bio Art Practices” seek to analyze the aesthetic and ontological consequences of Bio Art, exploring a appropriate theoretical framework that is drawn from the fields of philosophy, art history and the arts itself in order to examine current Bio Art practices. CV: Ingeborg Reichle is a trained art historian and today active as cultural theorist writing on contemporary art and new technologies, with a focus on biotechnology and artificial life. She lectures since 2011 at the Hermann von Helmholtz -Zentrum für Kulturtechnik, Humboldt-University Berlin.

[rohrpost] CALL FOR PAPERS (20-4-2013): Workshop on The Altered Self and Altered Self Experience May 30-31 2013 UNL Portugal
Workshop on The Altered Self and Altered Self-Experience May 30-31, 2013 New University of Lisbon From a theoretical point of view the experiences in which the feeling of self is temporarily or permanently altered, pose opportunities to apply, critically verify or even renew theories of the self. The altered self, from a human point of view, gains its most relevance when it is related to psychological sufferings, their comprehension, relief or treatment. However, not all altered self-experiences imply suffering or respective treatment. In eastern (and some western) philosophical traditions a „No-Self“ is considered. Techniques of a Self/ No- self include states of meditation, mindfulness or effortless attention. Moreover, for some, self-alterations are desired as in technically achieved, or drug induced suspensions of a “fixed”, „regular“, „normalized“ or „orthodox“ experience of self. Other self-alterations are even conceived as deliberately induced „enhancements“ of the self. Different conceptual and clinical notions of the altered Self and different modes of altered self-experience will be explored in this intensive workshop in order to clarify the notion of the self. Organizers: Dr. Jorge Gonçalves jorgealvesena...@gmail.com Dr. Alexander Gerner alexanderger...@gmail.com (Members of the Research Project: Cognitive Foundation of the Self) “Fundamentos Cognitivos do Si” Call for abstracts: DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: 20th of April 2013 ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION: until 25th of April 2013 Here a list of possible (not necessary, nor exclusive) topics to be treated in the workshop with some examples (1) What can (Psycho-) pathologies of the self from different perspectives (Phenomenology, Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, Philosophy of Mind, Evolutionary Psychology, Cognitive (Neuro-) Sciences etc.) tell us about the phenomenon of the self? Examples: - Different notions of self/other in Autism/ Schizophrenia/ Dissociated Identity Disorder/ ADHD etc. (2) Different conceptual approaches towards the altered self in philosophy of psychiatry and modes of treatment Examples: - Dysfunctional/ disrupted/ disturbed/ pathologic/ abnormal/ suffering/ ill/ partitioned/ split/ restituted or altered Self - Dichotomies of „order/disorder“ „normality/pathology“, „regularity/irregularity“ in relation to the self in „mental disorders“ - Altered self- other relations - Altered social and ecologic self and its psychosomatic co-relations - Non- reductionistic accounts of the altered self in philosophy and psychiatry (3) Altered self in between the minimal/ primordial bodily self and the extended/ personal self (4) Mineness, Ownership, Self-Control and its exuberance or denial in altered self states Examples: - Thought insertion, dissociative self states, Self delusion, Self deception, Self rejection, delirium, hallucinating Self (auditory, visual, vestibular hallucinations) (5) Constitution, change/dynamics and alteration of the unity of self Examples: - The unity/disunity of self -The unity/disunity of the self in between first- person and second- person perspective - (Dis-) unity of the Self : Split self, Altered Self-demarcation, self- consistancy, selfcoherence - Transitivism, Ipsiety, territorialization/ desterritorialization of the Self (6) Modeling or transcending the self? Philosophical concepts and the praxis of the No- Self in western and eastern (buddist, Indian, Japanese, Chinese) psychological philosophical traditions (7) Altered bodily self-awareness: Altered self- affection, Hyper- and hypo-responsiveness of the bodily self Examples: - Hyperreflexive, self-centered or hyperactive self - hyperbolic self-experience - altered existential feelings of self: - Self as stranger: being in the wrong body, feeling dead, changes in the feeling of vitality etc. (8) Altered Self-agency and altered self-concepts (9) Altered Corporality of the self, altered self –perception, disembodiment and autoscopic self-experiences, Examples: - Self in Out-of-body experiences and different forms of autoscopic experience (polyopic autoscopy, heautoscopy, the feeling of a presence etc.) - Constitution and alteration of the first- and second- person perspective in autoscopic experiences - Doubles of self - Altered bodily experience between selfhood and otherness (10) Techniques of alteration of the self and its philosophical groundings Examples: - Self- techniques - Altered self-experience in flow and effortless attention - Techniques of mindfulness, compassion, wisdom and meditation as altered selfexperience - Philosophical approaches to self-techniques and self-development (11) Drugs and altered self-experience: pharmacological and technological inductions of altered self-experience.

[rohrpost] öffentliche Laborinstallation: KUNST, WISSENSCHAFT UND WELTBILD: ZWISCHENRAUM _ ZÜCHTUNG – GOBOTAG, 3. August 2012
ÖFFENTLICHE LABORINSTALLATION 3. – 15. AUGUST 2012 KUNST, WISSENSCHAFT UND WELTBILD: ZWISCHENRAUM _ ZÜCHTUNG – GOBOTAG Eine Installation von Michaela Rotsch (Bildende Kunst) mit Manfred Gödel (Systembiologie) in Zusammenarbeit mit der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Das Projekt ZWISCHENRAUM_ZÜCHTUNG verbindet Forschungsansätze der Synthetischen Biologie mit Methoden der Bildenden Kunst. Das gläserne Labor wirkt hier als Inkubator für die lebendige, mikroskopische Struktur der Gewebekultur einer Zwischenraum-Züchtung. Mittels Anzüchtungen von Neurospora crassa – einem sehr häufig verwendeten Modellorganismus in der Biologie – werden verschiedene Pilzkulturen auf eine Plexiglasscheibe aufgebracht. Der bereits 2003 genetisch komplett entschlüsselte Schimmelpilz hat zwei verschiedene Generationszyklen. Er vermehrt sich zum einen durch Sporen über die Luft, zum anderen durch geschlechtliche Kreuzung entstandene sogenannte Ascosporen. Jeweils auf einem Substrat in einer Petrischale aufgebracht, werden die verschiedenen Kulturen in einem Musterblock angeordnet, in dem sich jede einzelne Kultur während des Zeitraums der Installation spezifisch weiterentwickelt. So werden Zwischenraummodule (goBoTAgS) einer global angelegten, interkulturellen Wachstums- struktur sichtbar gemacht, die in der Form eines Raumes zwischen zwei Filmfiguren der Science Fiction „Gattaca“ ihren Anfang nahm. Die Installation beschäftigt sich mit zentralen Fragen der Systembiologie und der Bildenden Kunst, insbesondere Fragen nach Identität werden in den Fokus gerückt. Ein Kurzfilm über die „Animpfung“ der Pilzkulturen wird im Installationszeitraum im Kino des Filmmuseums Potsdam zu sehen sein. www.filmmuseum-potsdam.de 3. August 2012, 17 Uhr Eröffnung - Gespräch Manfred Gödel (Systembiologe) Ingeborg Reichle (Kunsthistorikerin) Michaela Rotsch (Bildende Künstlerin / www.gobotag.net) Peter Weibel (Künstler, Ausstellungskurator sowie Kunst- und Medientheoretiker) Synoptischer Salon, 27. Juni bis 12. September 2012, AM NEUEN MARKT 8, 14467 POTSDAM Unter der Leitung des interdisziplinären Teams von Roland Essl (Architektur), Ildiko Meny (Medizin) und Michaela Rotsch (Bildende Kunst) bringt der SYNTOPISCHE SALON seit 2009 an verschiedenen Orten transdisziplinäre Werkstrukturen zwischen Kunst, Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft auf die Straße. Im Rahmen des Jahresthemas 2011|12 „ArteFakte. Wissen ist Kunst – Kunst ist Wissen“ der BBAW wurde das Konzept des SYNTOPISCHEN SALONS speziell für den Akademiestandort Potsdam weiterentwickelt und gemeinsam mit Partnerinstitutionen vor Ort ein Programm zu sieben Themenbereichen entworfen. Der SYNTOPISCHE SALON ist ein Experiment mit offenem Ausgang, ein gläsernes Labor als urbane Schnittstelle zwischen Wissenschaft, Kunst und Gesellschaft. „Syntopie“ meint dabei das Zusammenbringen zweier unverbundener Orte an einem Ort. Der Begriff wurde von Ernst Pöppel im Bereich der Gehirnforschung geprägt und steht hier sinnbildlich für das Überschreiten disziplinärer Denkstrukturen. Es entsteht ein Raum mit einem besonderen Milieu: eine hochgradig verdichtete, urbane Mischung unterschiedlicher (Wissens-)Kulturen an einem Ort. Der Ort des SYNTOPISCHEN SALONS ist ein Glaskubus mit etwas mehr als acht Quadratmetern Grundfläche, der im Sommer 2012 für drei Monate seinen Standort auf dem Neuen Markt in Potsdam beziehen wird. In Form eines gläsernen, flexiblen und transportierbaren Quaders ist er sowohl Schaukasten für Erforschungen als auch selbst Teil des Forschungsprozesses. Über drei Monate finden dort wechselnde Ausstellungen, Vorträge und Installationen gemeinsam mit unterschiedlichen Partnern statt. Das gläserne Labor ist stets, Tag und Nacht, einsehbar und ermöglicht als urbane Schnittstelle das Zusammenwirken der Aktionen und Installationen mit dem öffentlichen Raum. http://syntopischer-salon.bbaw.de. -- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.in-mind.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
[rohrpost] Symposium: Ethics and the Arts, June 28th 2012, Rotterdam
a substantive and a process level: by suggesting that the arts play a significant role in the framing of substantive fields; and (at a process level) by challenging bioethics to be more encompassing of the arts as a valid means for investigation and discovery. Style of Interaction: The Chairman for this Symposium was a previous Congress Organiser (Sydney 2004) and in that Congress and in subsequent Arts Symposia, he has championed an interactive style of symposia. This was true of the presentations in Rijeka—and in particular following the performances in the Performance Session and following the movie ‘Romulus My Father’—and it was true of the two Arts Symposia in Singapore. It is fully intended that the style of this Symposium will be interactive—both between the panelists and with the audience. The intention is for the presenters to communicate with each in advance of the Congress and be conversant with each other’s materials—and in a good position to address some of the more over-arching themes that come out of their particular arts focus.

[rohrpost] neue Publikation: IMAGE MATCH: Visueller Transfer, „Imagescapes“ und Intervisualität in globalen Bildkulturen
IMAGE MATCH: Visueller Transfer, „Imagescapes“ und Intervisualität in globalen Bildkulturen Herausgegeben von Martina Baleva, Ingeborg Reichle und Oliver Lerone Schultz 340 Seiten, 123 s/w-Abbildungen, 16 Farbtafeln Wilhelm Fink Verlag, München 2012 Im Zuge der Globalisierung geraten Bilder in massenhafter Weise in Bewegung. Sie sind Teil transnationaler Migration, fließen millionenfach durch das Internet und fusionieren zu neuen Bildlandschaften. Mit ihnen formen sich transkulturelle Bildensembles, in denen in vielfältigen ikonischen Begegnungen Referenzen und Bedeutungen neu verhandelt werden. Die Untersuchung von Übertragungen zwischen Bildräumen samt ihrer Interpretanten ermöglicht einen bildwissenschaftlichen Zugriff auf Intervisualität in globalen Bildkulturen. Einsichten in diese Übertragungsprozesse gewährt bereits ein Blick auf ›traditionelle‹ Bildkulturen und tradierte Bildmedien. Auch diese sind, wie sich nun unter dem Eindruck einer globalen Bild-Transfer-Kultur zeigt, oft auch nur durch solche visuellen und bildlichen Übertragungs- und Verhandlungsprozesse zu verstehen. IMAGE MATCH beleuchtet die damit einhergehenden und neu entstehenden hybriden kulturellen Bildpraktiken sowie die historische Entwicklung und den Einfluss von Transferbewegungen auf etablierte Bildlandschaften und die ›Logik der Bilder‹. 1 MARTINA BALEVA, INGEBORG REICHLE, OLIVER LERONE SCHULTZ IMAGE MATCH: neue Indizes einer globalen Bildtheorie . . . .. 9 THEORIE-RAHMEN 2 NICHOLAS MIRZOEFF Die multiple Sicht.

[rohrpost] Images and Visualisation: Imaging Technology, Truth and Trust, European Science Foundation Research Conferences, Scandic Linköping Vast, Sweden, 17.-21. September 2012
Images and Visualisation: Imaging Technology, Truth and Trust 17-21 September 2012 European Science Foundation Research Conferences, Scandic Linköping Vast, Sweden, 17.-21. September 2012 Preliminary Programme Both Leonardo da Vinci and John Constable claimed that painting is a science. This science has been explored extensively in traditional aesthetics and art history. Given recent advances in science and visual engineering, creating images for science, of science and for the translation (interpretation) of science has become at one and the same time commonplace, even easy, and even more scientific. To understand the social, ethical and aesthetic challenges posed by the creation, use and appeal of such images, we need more than traditional art history and more than insights from traditional aesthetics. We need to understand these images in the context of modern science, technology and society and we need ways of engaging those who produce them (scientists, engineers, artists, photographers, journalists, advertisers) with those who study them and those who use them. The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts from across the sciences, both natural and social, with curators, artists, producers and users of images based on advanced visual engineering. By exploring emerging challenges at the interface between advanced visualisation technologies, truth and trust we want to stimulate talk, interaction and collaboration between the arts, humanities and (natural, medical, engineering, computer) sciences and most importantly between these sciences, in a context where both science and (visual) art and the various sciences themselves are increasingly converging, but where, at the same time, disciplinary boundaries still separate those working across them.

[rohrpost] Tagung „Synthetische Biologie. Leben – Kunst“ | 8.-9. Dezember 2011, Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften
Tagung „Synthetische Biologie. Leben – Kunst“ | 8.-9. Dezember 2011 Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften Spätestens seit Craig Venters Aufsehen erregender Synthese eines kompletten Bakterien-Genoms ist der Begriff der „Synthetischen Biologie“ zu einem Schlüsselwort einer neuen, am Horizont aufziehenden Epoche der Lebenswissenschaften geworden. Das Ziel, Leben künstlich zu erschaffen, scheint in greifbare Nähe zu rücken und ist dabei, zu einem zentralen Thema der Wissenschaft im 21. Jahrhundert zu werden. An der Diskussion um Zukunftsentwürfe, die durch wissenschaftliche und technische Innovationen ausgelöst werden, haben sich seit jeher Wissenschaftler und Künstler gleichermaßen beteiligt und die Auseinandersetzung um eine biotechnologisch gestaltete Zukunft hat bereits begonnen. „Leben machen“ erscheint immer mehr als eine technische und konstruktive ebenso wie künstliche und künstlerische Option. Eine international aktive Kunstszene hat in den letzten Jahren in zahlreichen Ausstellungen und künstlerisch motivierten Projekten zu den Auswirkungen der Biowissenschaften Stellung bezogen und neue Kunstrichtungen wie die BioArt oder die Transgenic Art hervorgebracht. In der Auseinandersetzung um die Darstellbarkeit von Leben bedienen sich Künstler heute auch der Methoden und Techniken der Synthetischen Biologie um Lebendiges sichtbar zu machen. Es entstehen neue Bilder und Interpretationen von Leben jenseits der wissenschaftlichen Labore, die die Grenzbereiche zwischen künstlichem Leben und lebendiger Kunst sondieren. Die internationale Tagung „Synthetische Biologie. Leben – Kunst“ führt Perspektiven aus beiden Bereichen zusammen und erweitert die Diskussion um das schöpferische Potential künstlerischer Ausdrucksformen und die Möglichkeiten einer neuartigen Verbindung von Wissenschaft, Kunst und Gesellschaft. In ihrer transdisziplinären Ausrichtung dient die Veranstaltung der Diskussion und Reflexion unterschiedlicher Arbeitsprozesse und Herangehensweisen von Wissenschaft und Kunst, die in der Zusammenschau Denkanstöße und neue Perspektiven auf eine der wichtigsten Zukunftsfragen unserer Gesellschaft eröffnen sollen.

[rohrpost] Buchpräsentation: Atlas der Weltbilder
Buchpräsentation Atlas der Weltbilder Montag, 16. Mai 2011, 18 Uhr Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Einstein-Saal Akademiegebäude am Gendarmenmarkt, Jägerstrasse 22/23, 10117 Berlin http://www.bbaw.de/veranstaltungen/2011/mai/buch_bildkulturen Praktiken visueller Welterzeugung in Form von Weltbildern lassen sich bereits in der Antike beobachten und haben sich bis heute als Mittel zur Konstruktion von Ordnungsvorstellungen bewährt. Seit jeher steht der begrifflichen Ordnung der Welt eine modellhaft anschauliche Ordnung gegenüber. Anschaulichkeit hat eine grundlegende Bedeutung für unser Verständnis von der Welt. Sie hat vielfältigste Weltbilder hervorgebracht, ist jedoch mehr als eine bloße Wiederholung des Sehens. Die Bildwelten der Weltbilder geben uns ein anschauliches Bild von der Welt und vom Kosmos. Sie sind wirkungsmächtige Instrumente zum praktischen und theoretischen Handeln in der Welt, die auf unterschiedlichste Weise unsere Vorstellungen von der Welt entwerfen und unsere Weltanschauung formen. Der reich bebilderte Atlas der Weltbilder, der im Rahmen dieser Veranstaltung vorgestellt werden soll, ist das Ergebnis einer dreijährigen Forschungsarbeit der interdisziplinären Arbeitsgruppe „Die Welt als Bild“ der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Die Arbeitsgruppe hat sich der Erforschung der Praktiken visueller Welterzeugung in Form von Bildern gewidmet. Die Publikation gibt Einsicht in ein breites Spektrum von Weltbildern und schreitet einen zeitlichen Rahmen ab, der mit altägyptischen Weltkonzeptionen beginnt und mit aktuellen Satellitenbildern von Google Earth endet. Dokumentiert werden somit Aspekte kulturgeschichtlicher Welterzeugung in Form von Weltbildern aus den zurückliegenden zweieinhalb Jahrtausenden. Christoph Markschies und Eva Schürmann werden Kurzvorträge zu den Bildwelten der Weltbilder halten. Die Buchpräsentation findet im Rahmen des Jahresthemas 2011|2012 der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften „ArteFakte. Wissen ist Kunst – Kunst ist Wissen“ statt.

[rohrpost] Vortrag: The Con-Sequential Narrative
EINLADUNG zum Vortrag The Con-Sequential Narrative von Gabriel S. Moses Donnerstag, 10. Juni 2010, 19:30 Uhr Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Einstein-Saal Akademiegebäude am Gendarmenmarkt, Jägerstraße 22/23, 10117 Berlin Programm Begrüßung: Ingeborg Reichle Interdisziplinäre Arbeitsgruppe ‘Bildkulturen’ Einführung: Oliver Lerone Schultz und Martina Baleva Interdisziplinäre Arbeitsgruppe ‘Bildkulturen’ Vortrag: Gabriel S. Moses Illustrator und Autor von Graphic Novels The Con-Sequential Narrativ Präsentation der Ausstellung »Auf dem Sprung« Gabriel S. Moses ist israelischer Illustrator und Autor von Graphic Novels, in denen es um soziale und ästhetische Aspekte der vielfältigen Schnittstellen zwischen den nationalen, internationalen und lokalen Jugend-Subkulturen im heutigen Israel geht. In seinem Vortrag spricht er über »Sequential Art«. Mit diesem Begriff ist ursprünglich die narrative Abfolge von Bildern und Texten, wie etwa in Comics, gemeint. Heute wird er auch für die Analyse und Dekonstruktion neuester Phänomene angewendet. Darunter fallen auch interaktive Netzwerke und Plattformen wie Myspace, Facebook und verwandte Internetforen, in denen der Eindruck narrativer Strukturen mit Hilfe einer endlosen Anreihung von scheinbar zurückverfolgbaren Informationsfragmenten geschaffen wird. Die Ausstellung »Auf dem Sprung« ist vom 25. Mai 2010 bis zum 11. Juni 2010 zu Gast an der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und wird von der Interdisziplinären Arbeitsgruppe »Bildkulturen« im Rahmen des Jungen Forums für Bildwissenschaften V. präsentiert. Diese Ausstellung des Archiv der Jugendkulturen e.V. versammelt Bilder und Texte von zwölf Berliner Jugendlichen mit unterschiedlichen kulturellen Hintergründen. In ihren während einer Literaturwerkstatt und einem begleitenden Fotoworkshop im Archiv der Jugendkulturen entstandenen Arbeiten setzen sich die Jugendlichen mit ihrem Alltag und ihrer Lebenswelt in Berlin auseinander. Die ausgestellten Arbeiten erlauben einen unmittelbaren Einblick in die kulturellen Begegnungen mit ihren vermittelten Sichtweisen und in die neuen Alltags- und Lebenswelten einer transkulturellen Gegenwart. Die Ausstellung »Auf dem Sprung« ist Teil des Projektes »Migrantenjugendliche Jugendkulturen« des Archivs der Jugendkulturen e. V. und wird gefördert im Rahmen des Bundesprogramms »VIELFALT TUT GUT. Jugend für Vielfalt, Toleranz und Demokratie«, vom Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend, von dem Integrationsbeauftragten des Berliner Senats und von der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung. Weitere Informationen finden sich unter: www.jugendkulturen.de, www.culture-on-the-road.de). Die Ausstellung bildet die visuelle Entsprechung zum Thema des diesjährigen Jungen Forums für Bildwissenschaft. Unter dem Titel »IMAGE MATCH. Visueller Transfer, ›Imagescapes‹ und Intervisualität« diskutieren zwölf Nachwuchswissenschaftler/innen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen über neu entstehende Bildräume und Repräsentationsformen in Zeiten der Globalisierung und der medialen Moderne. Erörtert werden Fragen nach der Geschichte und Formierung neuer Bilder und Bildkulturen im Zuge der vielfältigen bedeutungstragenden Begegnungen, Transfers und Austauschbewegungen vorhandener Bildkulturen. Die Interdisziplinäre Arbeitsgruppe »Bildkulturen« wendet die auf die Vielfalt von Bildern bezogenen Fragen der Bildwissenschaft auf die Vielfalt der sie prägenden Kulturen an. Erstmals werden Bildkulturen hinsichtlich ihrer Darstellungen von Raum und Perspektive auf ihre Einmaligkeit und ihren Anspruch auf Allgemeingültigkeit hin untersucht. Sowohl das Besondere einer jeweiligen Bildkultur gegenüber anderen als auch das Universelle mit Blick auf eine globale Bildkultur sollen durch die Forschung der Arbeitsgruppe eingehend profiliert werden. Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt. Der Eintritt ist frei. Eine Anmeldung ist nicht erforderlich.

[rohrpost] conference ART AND TECHNOSCIENCE, March 24, 25 Helsinki
ART AND TECHNOSCIENCE Practices in transformation A conference by the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki Finland, in collaboration with the Finnish Bioart Society and Pixelache festival. Time: 24-25.3.2010 10-17h Location: Auditorium, Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, Kaikukatu 4. Accessible for everyone and free entry Detailed schedule and more information: www.kuva.fi www.kilpiscope.net www.pixelache.fi Keynotes by Roy Ascott and Jill Scott The beginning of the 21st century is characterized by an overwhelming awareness of environmental issues. Facing the threat of global warming, the findings of scientific research have become a subject of intensive political debate. The ethical questions traditionally discussed in the green-wing marginals have become mainstream, as science has become a coffee-table topic. The field of art that interacts with the practices of science and its technologies is commonly referred to as ARTSCIENCE. During the past decades, this hybrid field has become more or less established, with landmark works, major institutions and written histories. However, with the new wave of environmentalism, a further wave of artists working with methods and questions related to scientific research has also emerged. The conference seeks to contextualize the practices of ARTSCIENCE both in the contemporary political atmosphere and the history of contemporary art. The first day of the two-day conference focuses on the practices in transformation as a result of research-orientation and cross-disciplinarity, characteristic to the field of ARTSCIENCE. The second day of the conference looks at the technologies of encounter between human and non-human worlds. The aim is to address the ethical discourse taking place in art practices which look at the interaction between humans and non-humans. Speakers include: Pau Alsina (researcher, ESP) Roy Ascott (artist, theorist, UK) Laura Beloff (artist, researcher, FI) Erich Berger (artist, coordinator ArsBioarctica, AUT/FI) Andy Gracie (artist, UK/ESP) Terike Haapoja (artist, FI) Eija Juurola (forest researcher, FI) Jan Kaila (artist, professor, FI) Tuija Kokkonen (theatre director, FI) Minna Långström (artist, lecturer, FI Anu Osva (artist, FI) Ingeborg Reichle (art historian, DE) Antti Sajantila (professor, medical doctor, FI) Jill Scott (artist, researcher, AUS/CH) Helena Sederholm (professor, FI) Raitis Smits (artist, curator, LV) Ulla Taipale (curator, FI/ESP) Manu Tamminen (microbiologist, FI) Adam Zaretsky (artist, US) Contact Erich Berger Coordinator ArsBioarctica e...@randomseed.org http://kilpiscope.net Terike Haapoja Artist, Phd researcher m...@terikehaapoja.net http://kuva.fi ART AND TECHNOSCIENCE - taiteen muuttuvat praktiikat Kansainvälinen konferenssi, järjestäjänä Suomen Kuvataideakatemia, yhteistyössä Biotaiteen seuran ja Pikseliähky - festivaalin kanssa Aika: 24-25.3.2010 10-17h Paikka: Auditorium, Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, Kaikukatu 4. Tilaisuus on avoin yleisölle. Vapaa pääsy. Konferenssiohjelma ja tarkemmat tiedot osoitteissa: www.kuva.fi www.kilpiscope.net www.pixelache.fi Keynotes: Roy Ascott ja Jill Scott 2000-luvun alkua leimaa ympäristökysymysten voimallinen politisoituminen. Ilmastonmuutoksen edessä tieteellisestä tutkimuksesta on tullut poliittisen tarkastelun kohde ja kiihkeiden väittelyiden välikappale. Perinteisesti vihreään marginaaliin liitetyt aiheet ovat virranneet valtavirtaan, samalla kun tieteestä on tullut kahvipöytäkeskustelujen puheenaihe. Tieteen ja teknologian suhteita tarkasteleva, leimallisesti monialainen ja poikkitieteinen nykytaiteenalue otsikoidaan usein sananparilla ARTSCIENCE. Viime vuosikymmenten aikana tämä perinteisiä genrerajoja ylittävä kenttä on vakiinnuttanut asemansa: merkkiteokset ja alan instituutiot ovat jo osa taiteen kirjoitettua historiaa. Ympäristökysymysten politisoitumisen myötä on kuitenkin noussut esiin uusi aalto tieteen ja sen teknologioiden parissa työskenteleviä taiteilijoita. Konferenssi pyrkii hahmottamaan artscience -kentän praktiikoita sekä suhteessa ajankohtaisiin poliittisiin kysymyksiin, että nykytaiteen perinteisiin. Konferenssin ensimmäinen päivä keskittyy taiteen muuttuviin praktiikoihin tutkimuksellisuuden ja poikkitieteellisyyden seurauksena. Konferenssin toinen päivä tarkastelee ihmisen ja ei-inhimillisen suhteita määrittäviä kohtaamisen teknologioita ja niitä eettisiä kysymyksiä, joita ihmisen ja ei-inhimillisen suhteita tieteen kehyksessä käsittelevä taide nostaa esiin. Konferenssin puhujina ovat mm. Pau Alsina (tutkija, ESP) Roy Ascott (taiteilija, teoreetikko, UK) Laura Beloff (taiteilija, tutkija FI) Erich Berger (taiteilija, suunnittelija ArsBioarctica, AUT/FI) Andy Gracie (taiteilija, UK/ESP) Terike Haapoja (taiteilija, tutkija FI) Eija Juurola (MTT, ekologi, FI) Jan Kaila (taiteilija, professori, KuvA, FI) Tuija Kokkonen (ohjaaja, FI) Minna Långström (taiteilija, lehtori KuvA, FI) Anu Osva
