- PublikationFaith Family Farming(11.10.2019) Allen, Jamie [in: Anthropocene Curriculum]Tracing the origins of the original “American Farmer” Johnny Appleseed via the various incarnation of the “Wild West” that have led to the era of Apple Inc. and the quantification and gridification of American landscapes, Jamie Allen for Temporary continent. unearths the role folklore has played—and continues to play—in harvesting worth of all kinds.

- PublikationGood River, Bad River, Little River, Big River(18.09.2019) Allen, Jamie [in: Anthropocene Curriculum]Just as a river can be read as a place where things go and a place in itself, it can also be simultaneously understood as a life-giving force by some and a resource to be mined by others.

- PublikationHeadwaters at the Head Waters(29.08.2019) Allen, Jamie [in: Anthropocene Curriculum]The “precise” geographical location of a river’s source is a label attributed much significance across a range of disciplinary contexts. Yet, as the example of the Mississippi asserts, the headwaters designation is typically one that is far from clear-cut. Despite this, the Mississippi’s touristically designated “source” remains a fixture on maps of North American territory and collective cultural consciousness alike, as Jamie Allen for Temporary continent. describes in this short reflection.10 - Elektronische-/ Webpublikation
- PublikationMessage Send Failure(27.05.2019) Allen, Jamie; Garnicnig, Bernhard [in: A*DESK]Message Send Failure is collaborative writing, messaging and texting on the topic of the iterative misfires, cyclical catastrophes and the perilous, treacherous pathways, breakdowns and breakthroughs of meaning we embark on every day. With Bernhard Garnicnig, it begins with a sense we have all had of how miraculous it is that anyone succeeds in communicating anything, ever. Our modern-day incantations of digital communication, these necessary methods, are the magical cornerstones of an edifice of economies, social systems, personal relations, friendships, societies, beliefs and philosophies. We are tested and fail before Hermes, the messenger of the gods, as we demand proof of one another’s faith, belief and trust, falling short with every badly penned email or miss-sent misread or misunderstood iMessage. We strive toward the integrity of intention, but don’t always hit the mark. As goes the relativizing liberation of “not crying over spilt milk”, so goes the invocation of cali-fornicative technologies to fail early, fail often and profit from these failure. “Progress” these days means to project projects, cantilever life, unreservedly and constantly risk to fail. And with the crash and burn comes a freeing clearing, a conjoined with an imperative to “emerge from the ashes”, together, to revel in misunderstanding one another.01B - Beitrag in Magazin oder Zeitung

- PublikationThis cycle, here, this one(11.02.2019) Sobecka, Karolina; Allen, JamieIt 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.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationThe Tuning of the World(2019) Allen, JamieSound is an important part of the eco-aesthetics and environmental pastoralism of hippiedom. Arising as a temporal and cultural nexus of late-twentieth-century art, writing and activism, music and “sonological competence” (Schafer) as acoustic landscaping, stage broader relations, value systems, class and race boundaries of hippie ethos that are as potent as they are problematic. From the early popular science writing of Rachel Carlson in Silent Spring to the ecomusicological design project of Murray Schafer’s World Soundscape Project, to works like Alvin Lucier’s “I Am Sitting in A Room,” sonic metaphors and practices of this era enclose potentials for integration with, and responsibility for, nonhuman surrounds. Projections of calm quietude, harmonious incorporation, balance and one-ness, charged with difficult cultural, racial and class presumptions, were a poison-cure for the hippie, and may still be prolonging our own ecological ruination today.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationNoisy Natures(2019) Allen, Jamie"For the summer semester lecture series at Humboldt Universität Berlin, two researchers from different disciplines are invited to discuss the limits of perfection and the potential of imperfections in natural organisms, hybrid bodies, synthetic materials and technical ensembles. Art historian Colin Lang, and Jamie Allen were invited to the July 2019 session. ""Noisy Natures"" tells the story of attempted perfections in nature-culture relations through technology, media and sound. Noise-as-nature and silence as its opposite, in the works of artists like Alvin Lucier, John Cage, David Tudor, in the context of the ecological milieu arising with Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, and later developments in Acoustic Ecology research and practices headed by R. Murray Schafer and the World Soundscape Project allow an acoustic ecology in which nature’s noise and human technological utopianism fuse as a kind of phenomenological environmentalism. The canonical work, I Am Sitting In A Room by Lucier literally and aesthetically enacts this gesture (an experience of the work interleaves this talk)."06 - Präsentation
