- PublikationAeolian Technology(2022) Allen, JamieA talk for the "In the Wind" sessions of Anant National University Design programme, relating environmental art, design to principles and ideas of elemental media, ecological and material philosophy, and the history of infrastructure. Using the aeolian harp as a metaphor and actual designed instrument for the tracing of both human and natural actualities and histories, this session asked students to interrogate and reconfigure relationships between ecology and technology, technique and elemental flows.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationTechniques of North: Sitting on Top of the World(Sternberg Press, 2021) Allen, Jamie; Zyman, Daniela [in: Oceans Rising: A Companion to Territorial Agency: Oceans in Transformation]Louis-Edmond Hamelin, the Quebecois elder statesman of northern geographies, has worked for half a century on fertile concepts such as “winterity” and “nordicity” in order to juxtapose real, extreme environments of high-latitude regions with the rich and complex ways they are perceived, imagined, depicted, and talked about. Hamelin even developed a “nordicity” scale, used by governments to allocate infrastructure and environmental resources. He named it the VAPO, or valeurs polaires. The VAPO is a composite and somewhat subjective measure that tracks ten different aspects—things like “annual cold,” “types of ice,” as well as “accessibility by means other than air” and “degree of economic activity”—rating each on a scale between 0 and 100. The total score, out of a thousand, must be over 200 for a place to be consid- ered “in the North.” The North Pole itself has a theoretical value of 1000, as VAPO as possible.04A - Beitrag Sammelband

- Publikationtransmediale Marshall McLuhan Lecture by Sara Diamond: Anxious to see change…(2017) Diamond, Sara; Allen, JamieThe artistic appropriation of the term "Age of Anxiety" emerged as a critique of the modernist era. Adapted by W.H. Auden in his famous 1947 poem The Age of Anxiety, it was taken up in the post-war west by social theorists as well as other artists. The term re-emerges with regular ferocity in the context of rapid social change and economic turbulence. It was also a consistent theme in the post-war era of the United States and Canada, as popular psychoanalysis diagnosed women's “anxious” experience within the confines of domestic labor. Drawing from her work as a historian of society, technology, and media, as well as a collaborator with science and new media artists, for the 2016 Marshall McLuhan Lecture Dr. Sara Diamond will provide a wide-ranging think piece on shifting definitions in the understanding of anxiety that have informed feminist concerns. This presentation will both reflect back on her career and examine current developments, exploring the challenges and the possibilities for interdisciplinary work between art, science, and technology today. In particular she will consider the role of women in media art and research, including the revival of critical discussion on the topic with projects such as FemTech. She will end with her own anxieties about the value of the historical record and the loss of specific histories, which we need to preserve in order to more effectively navigate present and future.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationImpossible Escapes(2017) Greiner-Petter, Moritz; Allen, JamieImpossible Escapes is an escape and evasion map publication developed and distributed in collaboration with Neural magazine and transmediale festival Berlin. The project addresses illusive tendencies to escape – be it from technology, society, or earth – and gathers various strategies of how to handle this most modern impetus of escaping. Technoculture promises many ways out of our problematic modernity and we keep running away from ourselves in iteration. But it is more than doubtful, that escape is truly possible – or desirable. How can we nevertheless value the benefits of escape as a temporary gesture, movement or process? What might be forms of effective everyday micro-escapes? And what could be alternative notions and attitudes to confront our problems? The map publication was exclusively distributed through special editions of Neural magazine’s issue 56 (which also features an essay about the project) as well as throughout the 2017 anniversary edition of transmediale festival “ever elusive” in Berlin. As part of the festival program, three parallel workshop sessions took place at different exits of Haus der Kulturen der Welt, the festival’s venue. The workshop was concluded by a field trip around the building, led by invited artist Leanne Wijnsma, who has made digging tunnels an essential part of her artistic practice.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationFunctional Failures, Operative Fakes & Tenuous Techniques(2017) Roszkowska, Maria; Maigret, Nicolas; Allen, JamieProgress, innovation and linear growth are cornerstones of our contemporary economies, social systems, even personal faith and belief. The very pervasiveness and prevalence of these models and values requires that we unearth, create and circulate alternative, counter-narrative and parallel accounts. Technological development is often recounted as the exploitation and instrumentalisation of heroic moments and individuals, ignoring the long shadow of aborted projects, flops, errors, malfunctions, ethical disavowals and disasters.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationShift Register: Launch Event(2016) Allen, Jamie; Howse, Martin; Kemp, JonathanAs part of RIXC Open Fields Conference in Riga, Latvia (RIXC Art Science Festival 2016, 29.09 – 01.10. 2016), Shift Register will host a project launch workshop on Saturday 1st October at 14.30-16.00. This launch workshop will examine through action, discussion and the construction of experimental situations responses to the potential un-earthing of both en-cycled and grounded technological and infrastructural impulses. Questions to be addressed within the workshop include: What is contained and released within global industrial process and how can we experience this materiality? How can we access and experience these buried and atmospheric technical infrastructures (psychogeophysics)? What could it mean to re-bury the technological (computation) literally in the earth, to view techno-ecology as a shift register in earth, sea and atmosphere within a context of global climate change/shifts? How can we intervene within the multiple shifts (of register) which take place between earth-magnitude energies and the energies of constructed electromagnetic transmission? How can we shift the assumptions of ecology into a non-pastoral and less than harmonious ecological thought?06 - Präsentation
- PublikationHow to Build a Lie(2016) Allen, Jamie; Greiner-Petter, Moritz“How to Build a Lie” is a lecture/video by Jamie Allen and Moritz Greiner-Petter, the final part of an apocryphal technologies artistic research project into media objects and technologies associated with “lie detection” and “truth verification”. The arc of this research includes a physical recreation of a voice stress analysis machine that analyses the self-read audiobook versions of presidential autobiographies, The Lie Machine (2014); a residency with the Media Archeology Lab in Denver, Colorado; a thematic exhibition at Dateline gallery; a publication with Counterpath Press upon which this lecture/video is based. Texts contains excerpts of writing by Ursula Le Guin, Avital Ronell, Paul Feyerabend, Geoff Bunn, Charles Darwin, amongst others. Video materials were culled from various online sources, including “The Old Typewriter”, “Die Wiege des Kinos” and “Der Mensch als Industriepalast”, also amongst others. “How to Build a Lie” lecture/video was commissioned by the Archaeologies of Media and Technology (AMT) group at University of Southampton, Winchester School of Art (Dr. Jussi Parikka and Dr. Ryan Bishop) for the group’s public launch event, Future Past Tense on October 26, 2016, organised in collaboration with the transmediale festival.07 - Audio- oder Videomaterial
- PublikationThe Forbidden, the Doubtful and the Moral. What Could be Known but Isn't(2016) Allen, JamieWhile it is difficult enough to develop what has been termed “negative knowledge”, that is, knowledge about the limits of knowledge (Karin Knorr-Cetina), also later in the process it continues to be a challenge to understand how to deal with these identified fields of non-knowledge. This panel will deal with such known unknowns, and present experimental methods of investigation as well as the resulting question related to the responsibility for not-knowing in moral and ethical terms: While Joanna Kempner will present her exploration and work within the territories of “forbidden knowledge” in medical science research, Jamie Allen will give insight into his artistic work and research related to “apocryphal technologies” as examples for ignorance through the false believe of being knowledgable. The ethical questions related to these and other forms of willful (that is, motivated, affected, or strategic) forms of ignorance, to what can and should have already been known, will be presented by Jan Willem Wieland. Taking new forms of slavery and our so-called slavery-footprint as an example, he will discuss the question of whether people who are willfully ignorant can be held responsible for it.06 - Präsentation
