    Microreview: Dialectic Diatribes on the New European Bauhaus
    (2021) Allen, Jamie; Gruendel, Anke
    Launched on 14 October 2020, the New European Bauhaus (NEB) Initiative is a project initiated by the European Commission with the express purpose of using design for politics, politics for design, or both. Bound up in it are numerous histories, ambitions, and conceptions of what it means to make policy, practice art and design, or use media for political purposes in a fraught European landscape today

    Teaching Lies
    (Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts, 2018) Ricci, Donato; Artut, Selcuk; Young, Michael Edward; Kiesewetter, Rebekka; Verjat, Benoit; Patelli, Paolo; Allen, Jamie; Boelen, Jan
    Teaching Lies is a public School of Schools, a workshop about illusory deceptions at work in the designed modern world. Its scope is to identify, expose, discuss and make public these modes, through the collaborative writing of a syllabus for a spurious studio-based class. the workshop is aimed at participative production and play, modulations and dissimulations of designed deceptions in pedagogy and beyond. Over multiple days, a workshop and exhibition elements develop around several thematics addressing different fabulative tropes, such as concealing (secret origins, hiding, shadowing, masks); camouflage (adversarial, being unmappable, decoys, hiding in plain sight); fabulation (fictionalization, re-narration, imaginaries); reduction (simplification, rules of thumb, common practice, ‘just enough’); misappropriation (metaphors, anecdotes, projection); misdirection (look over here! fakes, hoaxes, sleight-of-hand, puppets, apocrypha, data derives). For the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial, Donato Ricci, Selçuk Artut, Michael Edward Young, Rebekka Kiesewetter, Benoît Verjat, Paolo Patelli and Jamie Allen seek to analyze, explore and re-compose the rhetorical figures and material strategies behind communication, design, media, technology and art, as part of our pronounced post-factual condition; in a context where terms of art and artifice — like ‘fabulation’ — have become main means of doing art, design and by extension, communication, politics and life. A further instantiation of the project is exhibited as part of the 26th Biennial of Design in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

    Diagrams That Build Worlds
    (2020) Carver, Louise Emily; Allen, Jamie
    Visual devices in the form of diagrams (models, schematics) have been subjected to considerable critical theorization, noted in particular for their production of truth conditions, politics of scale and potential to prefigure realities of policy and practice. Diagramming can be dangerously abstractive, performative and value-laden—narrowing the directionality of approaches and/or reproducing colonial, capitalist or racist logics substantive to the policy or scientific topics they address. The agency of such devices may lie in cementing and conserving certain value systems, epistemologies, politics and funding allocations, while occluding and negating more emancipatory, just and/or radical alternatives. Diagrams have the added power of heightened mobility, speeding up and shaping perceptions and circulating through policy scales rapidly. The Diagrams That Build Worlds workshop convenes researchers with interests in the role of visual schematics, and hosts active discussions and exercises around the possibilities of critical design and artistic research intervening in the policies and practices of political ecology. Visual models from participants' own research and projects (in political ecology, earth science and media/art theory domains) and collective experimentation in iterating and composing new diagrams takes place. Group and individual research tasks co-learners to ‘bring back’ examples from diverse areas of interest in order to analyze, discuss and experiment with alternate possible renderings and forms, together.
