What could visual art afford for people involved in making technologies? Could artistic practices show us ways to embed technologies better in society?

In his inaugural lecture as Socrates Professor on the topic of Making Humane Technologies, Prof. Dr. Erik Rietveld aims to show that artistic practices afford embedding technologies better in society.

By analysing artworks made at RAAAF, an art collective that makes visual art and experimental architecture, he describes three aspects of making practices that may contribute to improving the embedding of technology in society.

OPEN CALL

The haunting digital - Workshop I

7 March - location tbd

Living in a connected world also means grieving in a connected world.

Losing someone generates a materiality of absence, be that letters, photographs, and a person's belongings, and now of late, digital objects such as photos on one's phone and clouds, WhatsApp messages, voice messages, social media accounts, and emails. These objects (and data) evoke comfort and connection as well as a sense of haunting. Digital things exist between the material and immaterial, always present in mobile devices while vulnerable to deletion. Losing the last WhatsApp messages sent by loved ones because of an app update, losing a phone with precious photos and videos, visiting the social media accounts of people missing, and texting with the dead are all contemporary grief-related experiences.

In this workshop, Natalia Sánchez Querubín invites you to discuss the concept of the haunting digital, share theoretical or personal examples, and speculate (and perhaps design) rituals for caring, conserving, translating, and letting go of digital objects.

the scene is fluid is a recently developed work by Dutch artist Esther van der Heijden that resulted from a wider research into human relationships with the ocean and its aquatic ecosystems. In this research, the knowledge and values on which we as humans base this relationship are explored and questioned.

Additionally, it asks the question of how fiction, performance and costuming can function as tools to weave current oceanic crises and global warming together, while providing the means by which to care for – and relate to – the ocean and those most affected by oceanic crises.

The works of the scene is fluid consider the bodies and senses of two species living within the man-made Bileća Lake in Bosnia & Herzegovina, the Proteus Anguinus (endemic and endangered cave salamander) and the Quagga-mussel (invasive species), as situated answers to the question of how to perceive the world.

Esther offers special thanks to Kamen Artist Residency and Brian Lewarne (The Proteus Project in Bosnia and Herzegovina).

“An [Interrupted] Bestiary” is an expanded publication project by Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca and collaborators.

It comprises an artist’s book, exhibition and the animated short film, “Done Dying”.

The project was developed through a process of ‘thinking alongside’ the US-based performance company, “Every house has a door” during their process of creating the performance, “Broken Aquarium” (2019-2022).

To learn more about it and watch the short film, visit the ARIAS website or subscribe to our newsletter via the link in bio.

In another meaningful addition to our Ecologies of Care thematic line, UK and Netherlands-based artist Harriet Rose Morley led a workshop centred around her artistic practices of furniture building, architectural installation and collaborative making projects.

Harriet welcomed the group into collective thought surrounding the topics of gendered labour and feminist pedagogy, questioning standardised measurement systems and assumptions often associated with manual labor.

A fascinating discussion emerged as she invited the group to introduce themselves in connection with a tool that they use within their own life or practice. Retreating away from the typical “hard” tools often found in a work belt, the group instead proposed “soft” tools such as: deletion, reembodying language, pausing, scraping information, breaking the ice, and distraction.

Michael O'Connor and Alan Cienki take two seemingly disparate practices as the foci for this work — dance and prehistoric cave art — in order to illuminate commonalities in embodied practices that reveal new theoretical insights. Whereas dance clearly uses temporal traces of the body to shape space and create meaning, cave drawings have also begun to be explained and interpreted through kinesthetic and embodied metaphorical techniques. A key element that these fields have in common is the role of lines.

Considering the animate nature of lines and the kinesthetic response they have on the body, contemporary artistic practices can find parallels to the nature of ancient rock art if we recognize the similarity these fields share in the formation of and interpretation of meaning through movement and material engagement.

It is with great excitement that the Contemporary Commoning research team announces the publication of their one-off magazine "About Art and Living Together on Zeeburgereiland."

It contains an overview of the various artistic research projects which have been taken place in Amsterdam's newest neighborhood over the last two years. The magazine includes reflections on Black Water, RAAAF's temporary intervention highlighting the hidden dark side of a bright new neighborhood, and on the Wielemaatjes, mobile objects developed by Socrates Schouten and Jeffrey Bolhuis in an attempt to add a disruptive element to its public spaces.

More information on the project can be found on contemporarycommoning.nl, where you can also find a free pdf of the magazine.
