An Art and Technology of Understanding
(Vice Publishing, 2011) Allen, Jamie
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?

Contemporary coding of a street culture
(Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Basel FHNW, 2023) Palluce, Jeremy; Morger, Priska; Wiesel, Jörg; Salner, Wally
Jeremy Palucce works with the goal to embody an idea that overcomes materiality and can therefore only be fully understood by human emotions. He is active in three fields of interest: The visual art world, the fashion world and the music world. Those worlds are perceived in the same three aspects, the visual, the musical and the emotional aspect. The exhibition shows a sound installation with adlibs from 15 musicians, 9 advertisement posters with spray-painted brand names on it and a video with the artist's grandmother's voice talking about love. “FOR MY THESIS I WANT TO RESEARCH CODES, PRINCIPLES AND IDEAS OF A CULTURE THAT RAISED ME. IT IS ABOUT TODAY'S FORMS OF BEHAVIOR AND EXPRESSION, AS WELL AS PRINCIPLES AND IDEAS AND CODES THAT SHAPE THE CULTURE I LIVE IN. HIPHOP IS A CULTURE THAT IN AN IDEAL WAY LIVES FROM THE REFLECTION OF THE PRESENT AND IS THEREFORE, LIKE EVERYTHING HAPPENING IN THE WORLD, A WITNESS OF A CERTAIN MOMENT IN WORLD HISTORY.”

Cum On Feel the Noize
(Continent, 2012) Allen, Jamie
As someone who’s knowledge of “art” mostly began with the domestic (Western) and Japanese punk and noise scenes of the late 80’s and early 90’s, practices and theories of noise fall rather close to my heart. It is peeking into the esoteric enclaves of weird music and noise that helped me understand what I think I might like art to be: A way of learning about the world through perturbation—exploration by incitement and speculation of possible conditions. What I have always loved about artistic investigations influenced by noisy aesthetics or sensibilities is that they can be simultaneously transcendent and absurd, amusing and revelatory, singular and pluralistic, mindless and intensely penetrating. The provocative friction that noise brings to bear on aesthetic experience, artistic practice, and “the” Art World acts as a kind of impulse response, proposing new energies while revealing underlying structure; noise signals are a simultaneous synthesis and analysis of spaces, subjects and relations.

Eighty-Seven Questions on Artistic Research
(Swiss Artistic Research Network (SARN), 08/2015) Caviezel, Flavia; Schwander, Markus
After more than ten years of experience with research at art schools in Switzerland – and internationally since the beginning of the 1990s – scholarly statements and visions about the future development of artistic research have become well known. SARN’s aim is to investigate the impact of artistic research with a focus on non-school protagonists in Switzerland and abroad – by collecting questions. In a first step, and inspired by the book by artists Fischli/Weiss, Findet mich das Glück?, we looked for questions – straightforward, multi-layered, enigmatic, inspiring – presenting the personal experiences of artists, curators, researchers, and observers of the field or representatives of a funding organisation. The present notebook includes 88 multi-faceted questions and is the starting point of a long-term project dealing with the impact or ‘added value’ of artistic research in society. We invite you to step into the flow of questions in order to enable a deepened reflection. By accepting the current ambivalent situation in which there might be no (simple) answers, we would like to keep the discussion going. In a second step, after the conference, SARN will continue the project by including various points-of-view. The space left in the notebook is provided for you to sketch your thoughts. You are very welcome to send further questions, remarks and answers to SARN under the following address: camille.dumond@hesge.ch. Get inspired!

Learning Lab Arts and Design: Re-Processing the Future of Art and Design Education
(Christoph Merian Verlag, 2019) King, Dorothée; Langkilde, Kirsten
In this article I reflect on changes of learning in art and design as shifts in methods and cultural practices. I link an historical overview of learning processes to contemporary art and design making to identify methods of research and teaching for the Learning Lab Arts and Design (LLAD). Western art academies supported learning as imitating aesthetic standards. Learning design in guild systems combined knowledge transfer and the invention of new products for changing societies. Later, learning in art and design schools moved away from pre-set métiers and media. It came to refer to individual creativity and transformation, a way to protest or express an attitude. In the 80s, learning art becomes a practice with focus on process, not outcome. In 2019, I propose that LLAD approaches the processes of art and design making as multifaceted practices of learning within digital and virtual learning environments. Learning is to be situated in various activities: imagining, repeating, improvising, documenting, researching, prototyping, playing, simulating or transforming.

Letter from the Editors: Acoustic Infrastructure
(Continent, 2016) Allen, Jamie; Khaikin, Lital; Linder, Isaac
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.

Letter from the editors: Arrete
(Continent, 2011) Allen, Jamie; Jenkins, Nico; Boshears, Paul
We here at continent. gratefully share with you the fourth issue of our first volume. As 2011 draws to a close, we've finished up our first of what promises to be many years building and collecting manifestations of thought in its many forms. Guiding our thinking in this issue is the term arête. A thin sharp line, a lateral peak which separates valleys, ribs of sifted rock made mounds. With one stutter, the term becomes areté, a form of virtue, of goodness. Another stuttering, and we hear the French arreter—to stop. All of our stuttering is perhaps a form of nervous anticipation; a call for rest as well as an echo for change. For this December issue, we've drawn out these stutters: the solid fluidity of geology; the virtuous skill of craft; the possibility of a repose. Among many other givings in continent.1.4, we bring you Alain Badiou's hopes for neg through his interview with John Van Houdt, and John A. Sweeney's veiling and unveiling of politics in the pit-stop urban space.

Letter from the editors: Encounter I
(Continent, 2012) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Jenkins, Nico
Since we last checked-in with you, dear readers, there has been a tremendous amount of activity among the continent. crew. In September, we joined the Editors of Speculations at the University of Basel to discuss the aesthetics of para- academic publishing during the Aesthetics in the 21st Century conference. Just the following weekend, we were on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston, to discuss similar matters during the Biennial Meeting of the Babel Working Group. An inspiring set of discussions, and some meetings with friends we'd only theretofore encountered through somewhat less fleshy networks and communiques.

Letter from the editors: Firn
(Continent, 2012) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Jenkins, Nico
For this, our sixth issue, we offer firn as our constellating theme. From the Old High German firni, meaning “old” and related to the Swedish forn connoting “former,” firn is the term used to indicate snow that has survived the summer months. Firn is rounded, wellbonded snow that, like continent., has existed for more than one year and has a density greater than one would expect from snow pack. Firn snow is a moment between glacial ice and the wet snow that packs. The material recrystallizes, and affirms its surface tensions and as it becomes impermeable to moisture, the transition to glacial ice is consummated. We again have elected to emphasize a term that translates the passage of time into the spatialization of time.

Letter from the editors: Fulgurite
(Continent, 2014) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Linder, Isaac
As Gadamer reflects in The Beginning of Knowledge, "Anyone who has ever been a guest in Heidegger's hut in Todtnauberg [to be so lucky!] recalls the saying scratched into a piece of bark and placed above the lintel: ta de panta oiakizei keraunos; 'Lightning steers all' (Heraclitus, Fragment 64)." Fulgurites, sometimes referred to as petrified lightning, are the evidentiary traces of lightning strikes left as mineraloid debris on beaches, or soil, where the strike has occurred with a temperature of at least 1,800 °C (3,270 °F). Today, as markets crash at speeds faster than human thought, Quentin Meillassoux argues that the laws of nature must be considered to be able to change at a moment's notice. As fulgurites are formed in a second's time, like an error in a spreadsheet left to our retrospective perplexity...

Letter from the editors: Intangible architectures
(Continent, 2015) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Khaikin, Lital; Bernico, Matt
This issue of continent. deals with the theme of intangible architectures. While in keeping with the theoretical and experimental nature of previous issues, this release intends a balance with an urgent grounding in current events, political schemas and areas of research that demand broadened dialogue. An underlying conversation represents some response to the tension that is enabled through systems that shape experience, behaviour and meaning – examining the imprints and traces that are left on our beings by these forms.

Letter from the editors: Isthmus
(Continent, 2011) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Jenkins, Nico
continent. seeks to map a topology of unstable confluences and ranges across new thinking, while traversing interstices and alternate directions in culture, theory, biopolitics and art. We seek to engage the paradigm of academic journals, informing---as well as criticizing---the existing standards through active engagement with art, politics and philosophy, while also remaining "media agnostic" and cross-pollinated. To this end we have gathered a number of contributing editors and distinguished advisors from around the world and plan to produce a quarterly publication of significance and meaning.

Letter from the editors: Lost & Found
(Continent, 2016) Bruder, Johannes; Gerloff, Felix; Allen, Jamie
This issue was found in the lost conversations of continent.’s Jamie Allen and guest editors Johannes Bruder and Felix Gerloff. It is the crystallization of interests in the empirical, in notions of ‘evidence’, and the act of ‘returning’ something from a site of investigation. Developed through the Swiss National Science Foundation project Machine Love?[1], a project by researchers from the Institute of Experimental Design and Media Cultures at the Academy of Art and Design FHNW[2] (Claudia Mareis, Johannes Bruder and Felix Gerloff), these articles and artefacts stem in part from a workshop (All Eyes on Method in Basel on the 4th and 5th of June 2015) attended by contributing authors Sarah Benhaïm, Hannes Krämer, Luis-Manuel Garcia, Priska Gisler and Stefan Solleder. We also sought to expand the constituency of this continent. issue through a discussion of the role that media artefacts and material objects play in empirical research more generally. We have reached out to thinkers and doers who have developed ways of productively navigating the ambiguities of losing and finding, forgetting and remembering, capturing and deleting. Works by Geraldine Juarez, Mara Mills, Verena Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor with a response by Nina Jäger and Bronwyn Lay, Natasha Schüll, and the Times of Waste research team further elaborate the thematic of ‘Lost & Found’ for this issue. We (re)present here attempts to (re)create experience, waving our flag of surrender at a world that is forever slipping through our fingers.

Letter from the editors: Moraine
(Continent, 2011) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Jenkins, Nico
In this issue of continent., which takes as its theme the idea of the moraine, or that which is left behind, we attempt to think, and look beyond that horizon of the possible cataclysm, not in naive ways of hope and gleeful sounds, but in an attempt to present different directions in thought and looking and hearing. Beyond the cataclysm, or within it—or even, precisely anterior to it (anterior to an event not yet happened)—there are new ways of thinking “beyond” already becoming apparent. These ideas are speculative, in a sense irresponsible: Graham Harman writes about Quentin Meillassoux’s God who does not exist now, but may do so in the future while Paul Ennis describes the speculative line backwards to Kant’s distinction between phenomena and noumena. Michael O'Rourke assesses the future of Queer Theory and we are compelled to ask if queer theory is a theory of everything. Karen Spaceinvaders “maps” the brain through sound leaving us to wonder where is the mind, while Phillip Stearns, as though echoing Spaceinvaders’ work, remaps digital photography, creating images from the stray electrical currents in the apparatus. In fiction, Ben Segal gathers the blurbs of the books yet possible. And there is more.

Letter from the editors: Pitch Drop
(Continent, 2015) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Abell, Marin
In the American vernacular of the 1990s, people actually used to say that things “rocked.” “That rocks!” we’d say. The ‘we’ of our mostly 1990s teenagehoods could never have imagined that 20-something years later, a rather strange un-ironic interest in the literal referent of a pretty stupid exuberant rejoinder would arise. And yet, here we are, and here we go.

Note from the Editor: Autonomy
(Continent, 2011) Allen, Jamie
With this third issue of continent. we welcome you to join these conversations. The announced thematic for this issue, autonomy, was announced out of an interest to understand the contours of our being together, not the qualities or conditions necessary to identify what might exist in isolation. This summer brought some significant events and comminglings: we sponsored a symposium, with Christian Hänggi, a symposium at the historic Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich; we welcomed several new talented folks into the organization; and our dear Nico had back surgery.

Reshaping the Spoon: René Block in Conversation with Anna Bromley and Anneli Käsmayr
(Taylor & Francis, 16.05.2018) Bromley, Anna; Käsmayr, Anneli; Block, René
Re-Edit on a previously published conversation between the authors held in 2012 on Art, Eating and Hospitality. Employing the format of marginalia the authors induct a meta-dialogue that reflects on some of the topics of the original conversation, which seem not dated at all.

The gustatory-olfactory staging of art
(Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Basel FHNW, 2023) Elsner, Zoë; Wenger, Andreas; Scheel, Ruth; Ehleiter, Martina
My master's thesis is dedicated to the gustatory-olfactory staging of art. It deals with the sensory presentation of art and tries to find an extension of the traditional art presentation. In doing so, the attention is directed from the visual-verbal presentation to a presentation that appeals to all senses, emphasizing the senses of taste and smell. I created a 7-course menu that was put together in relation to the art-inspired themes. I also designed and produced a water lily service made of porcelain. I have spanned a dramaturgical arc and an overall scenographic concept all inspired by the painting ""Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas"" by Claude Monet. "Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas, the famous water lily pond of the impressionist Claude Monet, becomes the main protagonist of the gustatory-olfactory art experience. Seven courses are dedicated solely to the painting and open up a wide variety of themes over the course of the dinner.”
