Publikation Affect and Atmosphere in Controlled Responsive Environments(Springer, 07/2016) Simon, Andreas; Torpus, Jan-Lewe; Heibach, Christiane; Navarro, José Javier; Streitz, Norbert; Markopoulos, PanosWe 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.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Metalle sterben nie.

Thursday, September 20 2018, 6:30 pm Welcome: Susanna Kumschick, Co-director Gewerbemuseum Winterthur Introduction to the exhibition: Flavia Caviezel, ethnologist/vidéaste, project manager, HGK FHNW Panel talk 'Metals never die': Flavia Caviezel HGK FHNW, head of research project Times of Waste; Gideon Chonia, IT engineer at Zurich University, electronic projects in West Africa; Astrid Schwarz, Professor Technoscience Studies, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg Moderation: Christoph Keller, SRF2Kultur Listen to the panel discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVCXeApIJAM https://www.gewerbemuseum.ch/ausstellungen/times-of-waste06 - PräsentationPublikation This cycle, here, this one(2019) Allen, Jamie; Sobecka, Karolina"It is that which at this instant, issuing out of a labyrinthine tangle of yeses and no’s, makes my hand run along a certain path on the paper, mark it with these volutes that are signs: a double snap, up and down, between two levels of energy, guides this hand of mine to impress on the paper this dot, here, this one. – Primo Levi, “Carbon,” from The Periodic Table (1975) If there is a universe in every word, each atom also creates its own narrative. In this performance lecture spanning a contemporary history of its composition, markets and capture, a literary cycle of Carbon is developed in moving image, text and diagram. The use and abuse of cycles as models of exchange and circulation are examined for their appropriateness and applicability, and new models are proposed for our relationship to this building block of life, petrocultures and capitalism. Karolina Sobecka and Jamie Allen present a cyclical discussion in six elements for element number six. The lecture will include a hands-on element: we will ask the audience to re-draw the carbon cycle, based on their personal experiences."06 - PräsentationPublikation Concerning Circulations: Cybernetic Stewardship & Planetary Engineering(2019) Allen, Jamie; Chatterjee, Sria; Sobecka, Karolina"Our age of climate crisis brings with it intimate, acute relations between informational environments and real ecologies. Technoscience has understood ecological change, environmental crisis, and human and non-human climate migrations through imagery — circulated through scientific publication, popular media, our devices, networks and imaginations as photographs of fieldwork, and an iconography of starving polar bears. Applied scientific powers attempt to regulate real, situated natures through inversions of this imagery as visual rubrics and illustrations. Pixels and CO2 molecules, data streams and jetstreams, abstract diagrams and engineering practices amalgamate. What results is a vision of elemental automation, planetary machinic worlding and technological care that authorises real conservation and geoengineering practices, growing green in Silicon Valley and explicitly trying to bring about »Gaia 2.0.«. »Concerning Circulations« is articulated through two media streams, one ongoing and the other summative, culminating at the end of the web residency. Collaborative, online-research recovers the image-ecosystem of new regimes of planetary scale management of nature, such as carbon markets. The project reposts, contextualises and critiques the circulation of images and diagrams of control, creating a visual archive of contemporary cybernetic attentions. This archive, continuously updated in instagram-like fashion, in turn creates materials for three, narrated short essay-films, confidentials of the stories that new ecological engineering and climate innovation propaganda propagates."06 - PräsentationPublikation Letter from the editors: Encounter I(Continent, 2012) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Jenkins, NicoSince 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.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Letter from the editors: Fulgurite(Continent, 2014) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Linder, IsaacAs 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...01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Letter from the editors: Pitch Drop(Continent, 2015) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Abell, MarinIn 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.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Letter from the editors: Intangible architectures(Continent, 2015) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Khaikin, Lital; Bernico, MattThis 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.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Letter from the editors: Lost & Found(Continent, 2016) Bruder, Johannes; Gerloff, Felix; Allen, JamieThis 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.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Letter from the editors: Arrete(Continent, 2011) Allen, Jamie; Jenkins, Nico; Boshears, PaulWe 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.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
