Acoustic Infrastructure
(Continent, 2016) Allen, Jamie; Khaikin, Lital; Linder, Isaac [in: Continent]
The street-level sonic cultures, acoustic ecologies and personal interventions available to us have, during this long 20th Century, become proliferated by speakers, microphones, synthesised and recorded playbacks, beeps, buzzes and alarms. Roving gangs of indignant mobile-phone music-listeners disrupt the public transit experience. iPhones chirp out the sound of something called ‘crickets’, creatures many a listener may very well never encounter. Airlines pass on the extravagant levy of ‘noise charges’ to their customers, a kind of psychic and acoustic bandwidth fee. Microwave ovens, automobiles and authoritative ahuman voices chime out an acoustic ecology that is neither ‘natural’ nor ‘cultural’, neither ‘societal’ nor ‘technological’, but something that is a heterogeneous mixture of all of these sources, causes and categories. These are 'acoustic infrastructures', and although human-made, they are naturalised by their ubiquity and always-on-ness, along with our allover, everyday, experience of them.

Aeolian Technology
(2022) Allen, Jamie
A talk for the "In the Wind" sessions of Anant National University Design programme, relating environmental art, design to principles and ideas of elemental media, ecological and material philosophy, and the history of infrastructure. Using the aeolian harp as a metaphor and actual designed instrument for the tracing of both human and natural actualities and histories, this session asked students to interrogate and reconfigure relationships between ecology and technology, technique and elemental flows.

Affect and Atmosphere in Controlled Responsive Environments
(Springer, 07/2016) Simon, Andreas; Torpus, Jan-Lewe; Heibach, Christiane; Navarro, José Javier; Streitz, Norbert; Markopoulos, Panos [in: Distributed, Ambient and Pervasive Interactions. DAPI 2016]
We explore the atmospheric potential and the affective connection between humans and their instrumented, responsive environments and develop corresponding artistic design strategies, evaluating ubicomp environments from a critical perspective, beyond pure application and usefulness. We have designed an abstract, cocoon-like, responsively mediated space and conducted a series of experiments with a total of 17 participants. Results show that participants experience affection, a coupling between themselves and the designed environment, and show strong cognitive engagement to understand and structure the environment through patterns of situation awareness and sensemaking.

Allowance & Choice. Über den Prozess, wie ich Verbindungen eingehen lerne
(Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Basel FHNW, 2023) Heinrich, Sarah Dorothea; Walthard, Catherine
In meinem Studium befasste ich mich mit den Themen Geborgenheit, Gewohnheit, Heilung, Verbindung, Trauma, Kommunikation, Transformation, Allowance & Choice, Vertrauen und Gesundheit und übte mich in einer Art Umgang, der zu authentischer Verbindung einlädt. Dabei erkannte ich immer klarer die Wichtigkeit des körperlichen Erlebens. So wuchsen Projekte heran, wo Geborgenheit, Sinneswahrnehmung und Neugierde im Zentrum stehen. Aus diesem Erleben empfinde ich zunehmend Klarheit darüber, dass ich eine Wahl habe, wie es mir geht und dass ich mein Leben selbst gestalten kann. Und dass ich gleichzeitig als Geschenk annehmen kann, was schon da ist. Diese Gleichzeitigkeit zu untersuchen, auszuhalten und schätzen zu lernen, ist meine Lehre aus den vergangenen Jahren.

Apocryphal Technologies. Trials of the Engineered Imaginary
(2014) Allen, Jamie
For the occasion of the Zeitigung von Medien workshop, this keynote lecture Trials of the Engineered Imaginary examines how technology presents itself as the forward image of our desires, and how these forward movements often keep us from sensing, expressing or allowing legitimate disappointment in them. In an argument derived from media histories that presage the ways that tech entrepreneurs and 'founders', aided by venture capitalists, the lecture and media presented examined how a great number of in-use, contemporary technologies promise apocryphal functionalities (or impossible 'world-changing' returns). Examples examined include truth-telling tech, bodily enhancement techniques and cognitive amplification systems. The discussion here derives much of its argumentations from the Lie Machine project, a re-constructed voice stress analysis computer. Reframing all technological promises as, in some sense, 'apocryphal' (of doubtful authenticity or function, even if widely circulated as being functional or true) attempts to engender a more authentic and equal relation with technics.

Approaches to audiovisual media in the scholarly body
(2013) Verbruggen, Erwin; Allen, Jamie
Force11 (the Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship) is a virtual community working to transform scholarly communications toward improved knowledge creation and sharing. The Beyond the PDF conference brings together scholars, librarians, archivists, publishers and research funders in a lively forum, not just to broaden awareness of current efforts across disciplines, but to define the future through discussions, challenge projects, demonstrations and seeding new partnerships and collaborations. CIID’s Head of Research, Jamie Allen is co-organising a satellite session with Erwin Verbruggen (Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision): ‘Approaches to audiovisual media in the scholarly body’ This session proposes to discuss the improvement of ways in which audiovisual media can be used in online scholarly publications. We intend to discuss the topic from two different angles: audiovisual media as original sources for research and as a means of expressing scholarly thought. Of interest here is the way that digital medias, and the opportunities posed to ‘manifestations of thought in all its forms’ wrought through have or have not been fully taken into the prospect of scholarly, academic and practice-oriented research culture.

Archive Earth. Ambiguous Conversations and Conversions
(Cantonal and University Library Fribourg, 15.04.2021) Allen, Jamie [in: Roadsides]
For the journal Roadsides, Archive Earth is a visual and textual essay that explores Earth as a home, a resource for industry and markets, a repository for traces of conjoined natural and human histories, and a laboratory for the measurement of planetary phenomena. The essay explores the social, cultural and political life of infrastructure through aphoristic text, global fieldwork footages from Chile, Canada, Finland, and elsewhere, and perspectival voices: “I have already said that we think like the world; now I am saying that the world thinks like us”, as Michel Serres wrote in 2017.

An Art and Technology of Understanding
(Vice Publishing, 2011) Allen, Jamie [in: Vice]
Those of us active in the work of art and technology seem a comparatively anxious, self-critical bunch. It has been pointed out elsewhere and often that communities engaged with "new media," "art and technology," and "multimedia" are rife with artist-researchers, craftsman-critics, and technologist-theorists. These people are in the business of simultaneously employing and critiquing the material and social complexes we call "technology" in ways more emphatic than other artistic methods, aesthetics and histories (Criticalengineering.org provides an encouraging and exciting recent example of these kinds of practical motivations). Why all this questioning of form, of motivation, of intention? What's with all the talk of context, architectures and infrastructures? Why continue to bother with the work of fusing and conjoining fields and conventions separated by historical, cultural, and institutional silos, misunderstandings and discords? In short: Why not just relax, and paint yourself a nice watercolour landscape?

The Art of Instituting
(Intellect, 2019) Allen, Jamie; Garnicnig, Bernhard; Toft Ag, Tanya [in: Digital Dynamics in Nordic Contemporary Art]
The authors examine a digital dynamic within a networked sense of collectivity, and how this has influenced and enabled institutional experimental sites of thinking and production. They locate a tendency to organize oneself in collective groups as particularly evident in the Nordic context, reflecting a cultural history of ‘instituting’ (i.e. the formation of associations and unions) and today forming sites of hacker spaces, DIY technology groups, and artist-run project studios that hover between science, art and technology. These sites are necessary, the authors argue, as institutional forms to diversify responsibility across collectives, while simultaneously helping to equalize agencies, energies and temporal resilience, and exert post-capitalist influence.

Art Research Work. 3rd conference of the Swiss Artistic Research Network SARN.
(08.12.2017) Caviezel, Flavia; Schwander, Markus; Schenker, Christoph; Preisig, Barbara; Rüegger, Romy; Gisler, Priska; Mader, Rachel; Peyer, Siri; Koehle, Petra; Hürzeler, Luzia
Collaboration of the SARN Board member Flavia Caviezel with the other members and organizers on the conference concept; conducting a table talk at the SARN conference Art Research Work. The 2017 SARN Conference explored the working conditions prevailing within artistic research. In the last 20 years, an institutionalization and academization of artistic work known as “artistic research” has taken place. Arts universities are establishing research institutes, promoting PhD programs, and competing against universities for funding. Most artists only have small workloads in institution-based research. As much time is spent on projects and exhibitions as on teaching and earning a living. Although much of this work receives great symbolic recognition, it remains unremunerated. Working in such diverse contexts demands great flexibility regarding methods, skills, and the ability to reconcile several roles. The two-day SARN Conference reflected on the processes involved in institutionalizing the changing material and ideological preconditions of artistic research in recent years from the perspective of artistic researchers. The conference aimed to better understand the current situation of artistic researchers, to outline concrete ideas for future work-life strategies and for other funding and job opportunities, and to formulate concrete demands for self-determined artistic research. The Conference took place at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). In line with the conference topic, we reflected on working conditions at ZHdK’s new building.

Articulating nomadic identities of radio signals
(Revistes científiques de la Universitat de Barcelona, 25.02.2022) Savic, Selena [in: Matter: Journal of New Materialist Research]
This article presents a new materialist approach to artificial neural networks, based on experimental research in categorization of data on radio signals. Picking up on Rossi Braidotti’s nomadic theory and a number of new materialist perspectives on informatics, the article presents identification of radio signals as a process of articulating identities with data: nomadic identities that are informed by all the others, always established anew. As a resistance to the dominant understanding of data as discreet, the experiments discussed here demonstrate a way to work with a digital archive in a materialist and non-essentialist way. The output of experiments, data observatories, shows the capacity of machine learning techniques to challenge fixed dichotomies, such as human/nature, and their role in the way we think of identities. A data observatory is a navigation apparatus which can be used to orient oneself in the vast landscape of data on radio transmissions based on computable similarity. Nomadic identities render materiality of radio signals as digital information.

Ästhetik der Materialität
(Wilhelm Fink Verlag, 2015) Heibach, Christiane; Rohde, Carsten
Materie und Materialität standen lange im Schatten des Geistigen und der Ideen. Alle Materie, so die Prämisse, ist beschränkt, weil in den Grenzen ihrer physikalischen Bedingungen verhaftet. Dass jedoch Geistiges und Materielles einander bedingen, dass Materie und Materialität unser Denken formen und den Umgang mit Artefakten prägen, wurde insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der Künste weitgehend ignoriert. Dabei hat die Ästhetik, verstanden als Kunst-Wahrnehmung und künstlerische Gestaltung, eine besondere Bindung an Materialität: Die Materialien der Künste erzeugen eine spezifische Sinnlichkeit, sie regen zu neuen Produktionsverfahren an und sind Gegenstand kultureller De- und Re-Kontextualisierungen, die einen veränderten Blick auf die Wirklichkeit ermöglichen. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes beschäftigen sich aus der Perspektive von Philosophie, Kultur-, Kunst- und Literaturwissenschaft sowie Design mit der Materialität von scheinbar Immateriellem wie Licht, elektromagnetischen Strahlungen und Düften, aber auch mit klassischen Materialien wie Plastik, Blei und Papier. Mit Beiträgen von Peter Sloterdijk, Thomas Macho, Cornelia Ortlieb, Claudia Mareis u.a.

Being Eaten
(2022) Allen, Jamie
Of the concerns of the project of Western, modern design, archi- tecture and culture, procuring food for ourselves and keeping ourselves from becoming food for other creatures, is central amongst them. How we eat and avoid being eaten, keeping our- selves on top of the food chain(s), constitutes metabolic anthro- pocentrism, or metabolic privilege, that also clouds and trauma- tizes the communal act of consume(ation). Yet the acts of eating and being eaten can help understand life «as in circulation, as a gift from a community of ancestors... flowing on into an ecological and ancestral community of origins» (Val Plumwood). The whole planet is conceived as a giant stomach, pre-preparing photosyn- thetic energies and unpalatable materialities so they can be ab- sorbed into our digestive system, our bloodstreams, our organs and neural tissues. «Plants and the space they occupy are just as much a part of man as his mouth, his teeth or his stomach... The whole globe in splendid flight around the sun is a part, an organ, of every individual human» (Silvio Gesell) As ecologically related and embodied beings, we also exist as food for other beings, even as «the human supremacist culture of the West makes a strong effort to deny [...] that we humans can be positioned in the food chain in the same way as other animals.» (Val Plumwood) Thinking and connecting anew with our own eco- logical intimacy couples the «gut-level intimacy» human beings have with deep-time planetary processes and with the globally systematized, mediated, infrastructural existence. These are imaginaries with potentials, as Huiying Ng writes, to «metabolize hope».
