Publikation Modulating Matters of Computation, Modelling and Hyper-Separations(BCS Learning and Development, 17.09.2021) Savic, Selena; Miyazaki, Shintaro; Christensen, Michelle; Conradi, Florian; Søndergaard, Morten; Beloff, Laura; Choubassi, HassanWe engage in a conversation with critical ecofeminism, which proposed to transform the colonialism-racism-capitalism-patriarchalism induced environmental crisis by non-essentialist countering of oppressions and hyper-separations produced by human/nature dualism. We modulate the critical ecofeminist approach by countering a similar dualism, namely that of nature/technology. Furthermore, our theoretical balance-act has a praxis-oriented side: we believe that computation can be included in ecofeminist action. By providing alternative forms of engagement to instrumentalization, we trace pathways to different futures, countering the binary narratives of technology but also its moralizing of socio-cultural mediation. We take an intersectional approach to outcomes of computational modelling (simulations, visualisations, forecasts) and discuss the ecofeminist method of synthesis as a way to include different perspectives into computational processes. We work with two ‘modulated models’ that pay attention to assumptions, observations and thinking about urban commoning initiatives, and amateur knowledge of radio telecommunications. We aspire to provoke discussions about different modes of inclusion in communities and archives that are centred on shared, environment-friendly, solidarity oriented life-style and mutual care. Our approach engages with feminist arguments and inquiries into ways patriarchalism is embedded in our relationship to technoscience and engineering. We explore modes of resistance by proposing skilled and alternative uses of these techniques.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Common Objects / Gewöhnliche Objekte(Museum für Kommunikation Berlin, 27.08.2022) Savic, Selena; Savicic, Gordan; Miyazaki, Shintaro; Schneider, Birgit; Silvestrin, DanielaThe present intervention is a temporary engagement with the exhibition Curious Communication. Unusual Objects and Stories from the Collection, which stages uncommon objects and rituals pertaining to telecommunication. We seek to complement this perspective with objects that are everyday, yet hidden in the heights of telecommunication masts and towers, such as 4G and 5G antennas, and satellite receptors. Proliferation naturalises them as mundane infrastructure, sometimes even mimicking nature. Antennas are objects that increasingly re-naturalise electromagnetism: engineered to facilitate communication between people, they put to use the disposition of metals to resonate with radio waves, picking up both human-made and natural emissions, and figuring in urban and rural landscapes to secure global interconnectivity.14 - AusstellungsbeitragPublikation Following The Elephant-Nosed Fish - Reimagining Our Sensorium(DIAMONDPAPER, 2021) Hertrich, Susanna; Miyazaki, ShintaroThis book presents an artistic research project called "Sensorium of Animals" that comprises media archaeological studying, technological experimentation, an art installation, and two short films. The project was conducted by Susanna Hertrich and Shintaro Miyazaki from 2016 to 2019 at the Critical Media Lab, Institute of Experimental Design and Media Cultures, at the Academy of Art and Design FHNW in Basel, Switzerland. We were inspired by the elephant-nose fish's sensory ecology – a species that can make sense of its environment through self-generated electromagnetic (EM) fields. We intertwined this fish's cyborgian, even electronics-like trait with the seemingly immaterial worlds of our signal-based information technologies. We wanted to ask if it could be possible to engineer and cultivate the EM sense similar to that of the elephant-nose fish for the human sensory apparatus? What kind of future society would unfold through the design of such altered sensory capabilities? Or conversely, what kind of society would develop the necessity for such sensory capabilities? The book mirrors this interdisciplinary research's different approaches and divides itself into several parts. Part one presents itself in a twofold way a theory-poetry (a rhapsody) and a theory-fiction (a short fictional scenario of our future). Part two is an in-depth theoretical exploration of the research project and its contexts. This part also features selected project documentation, such as a selection of images, exhibition views and video stills showing the objects, graphics, and diagrams we created.02 - MonographiePublikation Unmaking. Against General Applicability(Institute of Network Cultures, 2020) Allen, Jamie; Ibach, Merle; Büsse, Michaela; Gerloff, Felix; Bedö, Viktor; Miyazaki, Shintaro; Bogers, Loes; Chiappini, LetiziaAs belief in the applicability and efficacy of DIY production, open-source, and method sharing has broadened to include institutional hackathons and open-data-fueled and civic 'maker weekends', taking stock and articulating how certain approaches 'work' or 'do not work' within maker culture – and for progressive and expansive creator cultures more generally – continues to be essential. 'Making' is a key concept that frames a host of more specific practices, lending characteristic manual/moral, communal/communicational, aesthetic/ethical, and enacted/ economic inflections and values. Even simple historical, traditional, technological, or digital acts of object and media creation, of art and design, but also of writing and thinking itself, can be recast as 'making'. What is it that happens to the thinking and doing of such activities, when such recasting is desired, chosen, projected, enforced, or assumed?04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Recomposing the E-Meter(2015) Allen, Jamie; Miyazaki, ShintaroFocusing on the example of the E-meter, an electrical instrument used in Church of Scientology ‘audits’, Recomposing the E-meter is a practical hardware workshop and conceptual inquiry into the heterogeneous discourses this circuitry has provoked. A collaboration with Shintaro Miyazaki, the workshop supports people to make their own version of this galvanic detector, analyzing and recomposing its function. Participants create their own Scientology™ E-meter, and in the process better understand the over-coded, apocryphal, technological imaginary that continues to be built around it. Recomposing the E-Meter forms part of a series of projects on the topic of Apocryphal Technologies.06 - PräsentationPublikation クリティカル・メディア 歴史を知ることの重大性 (Critical Media.
