Publikation A hybrid transmedia storytelling. Amplifying voices and presence of emerging photographers(Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Basel FHNW, 2023) Hilpertshauser, Mégane; López, Paloma; Hollaus, Invar Torre; Bircher, ThomasIn an era of constant connectivity, individuals are perpetually exposed to images, coexisting in a realm where representations, artificial intelligence, and robotisation dominate. Paradoxically, this increasing interconnectedness may foster a sense of disconnection from reality. Consequently, the boundaries between reality and the digital sphere significantly impacts photography, transforming established artistic practices. Photography remains in constant transition and evolution, rendering the once prominent term post-photographic inadequate to encapsulate the prevailing phenomena it was meant to describe (Brückle, Vitale, 2021). Through an examination of the historical evolution of photography and an exploration of media theory, a dynamic landscape of ever fluid and evolving images emerges, characterized by repetitive patterns and the proliferation of insular cultural spheres. The advent of image recognition technology further narrows perspectives and selectively shapes perceptions. Simultaneously, our experience of the present assumes diverse temporal dimensions, presenting a challenge for emerging photographers and designers who must navigate a fast-paced, fluid, and fragmented world (Goeting, 2022). Given the profound cultural and transformative impacts of contemporary media and technology, an imperative emerges to adopt a critical, thoughtful, imaginative, and alternative approach to digital tools. These emerging media and technologies engender new ways of perceiving, thinking, and acting, thereby transforming designers into active agents who reimagine the complex interplay between technology and culture. The project, entitled "A Hybrid Transmedia Storytelling – Amplifying Voices and Presence of Emerging Photographers", seeks to explore how the convergence of physical and digital realms demands a re-evaluation of how photographic content is shown, presented and distributed. Transmedia storytelling becomes a powerful means of uniting our digital and physical spaces, enabling a deeper understanding of our presence in this hyperconnected world. The name of the platform "Presence" encompasses both the presence of photographers within the artistic realm and the impact of new technologies on photographic creation and representation, along with our own presence in this fast-paced, interconnected society. The project aims to create an environment conducive to discovery and dialogue, with artists such as Arthur Fechoz, Alice Pallot, and Massimiliano Rossetto, while encouraging contemplation and deceleration in the first issue around Sense of Belonging. Deliberately incorporating elements of seriality into the magazine, the project aims to pique readers’/guests’ curiosity, with a foresight of forthcoming digital additions. This concept of deceleration and anticipation fosters an environment favourable to imagination and freedom. Readers actively contribute to shaping the narrative by interrupting chronology and offering fresh perspectives and visions. Ultimately, the project seeks to analyse how contemporary photography and design critically reflect on, experiment with, and envision alternative approaches to engaging with technologies and their cultural ramifications.11 - Studentische ArbeitPublikation The Earth is an Art, Like Everything Else(Osage Publications, 2020) Allen, Jamie; Merewether, Charles; Zielinski, SiegfriedThe contributed chapter The Earth is an Art, Like Everything Else takes the the poem Lady Lazarus by Sylvia Plath and the related essay by Michael Taussig as a starting point for developing the ways in which digital art, media and creative practices might 'reattach' us to the earth. Fujihata's Masaki (literally) groundbreaking 1992 project, "Impressing Velocity (Mount Fuji)", in which the artist packed a rucksack with what then a rather large and heavy kit-of-parts — a serial GPS module, a laptop computer and a (then, not-commercially-available) head-mounted video camera — and climbed up the side of Mount Fuji, serves to example knowledge practices in the future in art, science, research and experience, that might ground and attach us more intimately to the planet and its processes.04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation 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 ZeitschriftPublikation Letter from the editors: Moraine(Continent, 2011) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Jenkins, NicoIn 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.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Letter from the editors: Firn(Continent, 2012) Allen, Jamie; Boshears, Paul; Jenkins, NicoFor 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.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
