- PublikationWhat on earth is the planetary?(2023) Allen, Jamie; Bolen, Jeremy [in: Anthropocene Curriculum]There are efforts being made, and forced upon us, to grapple with the earth as an entity, object, and force. Under the guise of “planetarity,” these efforts span pursuits in the natural sciences of atmospheres, environments, and geologies, the biologies of living and ecologies of nonliving things, and the human knowledge practices that chart social, geopolitical, logistical, and infrastructural globalism. In their video essay project, “The Impossibility of a Planet,” artists and researchers Jeremy Bolen and Jamie Allen engage in dialogues with those who seek to compose planetary-scale images, thinking, narratives, and models. In a companion essay to the video segments, an inquiry into the media and methods of such compositions provides complement. Where do planetarities come from, and where are they taking us?10 - Elektronische-/ Webpublikation
- PublikationTrace Carbon(2020) Sinders, Caroline; Allen, JamieThe workshop, Trace Carbon, is an online discussion and workshop, framed around the markets and techniques for carbon measurement and management currently proposed and underway in environmental, ecological, governmental, industrial and technological contexts. Participants of the 2020 Art Meets Radical Openness festival (in 2020 AMRO was 100% online) were given space for discussion, a few short assignments and provided with an extensive collection of published resources through the Trace Carbon Reader. A collaboration with artist, designer, writer and researcher Caroline Sinders, the workshop features presentations of ongoing related work as part of the Cycles of Circulation project. The activities involves recording, sharing and collecting ‘carbon traces’ — stories and narratives recounted by and with participants.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationThe Overgrounds and Undergrounds of Pure and Applied Science: Cosmic Collisions and Industrial Collusion(Springer, 2018) Allen, Jamie [in: Media Theory]Archeology and geology are presumed to be "pure" knowledge practices, curiosity-driven investigations of the material histories of humankind and the Earth. Underwritten by Enlightenment techniques and tropes like clarity, organisation, cleanliness and illumination, there is in all the sciences a similar drive and imaginary toward a valuation of purity, against application, in all the sciences. These practices of observation, sampling, inscribing, analyzing and publishing are, of course, much more untidy than we sometimes imagine. What other sciences might be possible, were we more sensitive to the complicity of specific material practices as collusive affairs, amalgams of the pure and the applied, the clean and the messy, the ecological and the infrastructural, of light and shadow, of overground and underground?01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationShift Register: The Eye Altering(2018) Allen, Jamie; Ibach, MerleDepuis des millénaires, les vertus préservatrices et thérapeutiques des distillats de pétrole ont donné lieu à d’étranges pratiques corporelles: embaumer les morts de goudron, baigner les vivants de naphtalène, et enduire les nouveaux-nés de vaseline. De manière similaire, la plupart des traitements pharmaceutiques à prise entérale (interne) dérivent de matières premières d’origine pétrochimique. À travers la fabrication de produits d’application cutanée à partir de substances pétrolières, ce workshop proposé par Shift Register (shiftregister.info/) observera l’empreinte mutuelle des matières fossiles terrestres et des corps humains. Il permettra de discuter le paradoxe suivant lequel les combustibles fossiles, d’origine naturelle et organique, retournent aux corps pour alimenter leur régénérescence, leur santé et sublimation.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationShift Register: Tokyo Earth Observatory Workshop(2018) Howse, Martin; Allen, Jamie; Kemp, JonathanLocated all over the world, each EOA is composed through workshop formats, feld sites, textual resources, and the active construction of an EOA. Each workshop is locally resonant with the physical environment where each EOA is installed, and each EOA remains distinct to any other. Tus EOA's are designed to perform as part of a network of 'subaltern' obser- vation stations that generate aesthetic knowledge that escapes formal instrumentation and analysis such that each attempts to elude indexical and colonial epistemologies – for example, 'samples' are not gathered in centralised labs or institutions, but relations are set up and played out, in situ, extemporised and disaggregated. Each EOA provides a mediation and medi- tation on climate, atmospheric, cosmological and/or geophysi- cal science, using parasitic techniques for gathering an uneven, localised, inconsistent impression of the earth.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationThe Copenhagen Invitation(Continent, 2015) Allen, Jamie [in: Continent]What is a metaphor for? We might first assume that these unassuming little devices are fixers against incomprehension. They are often translative, mnemonics tricks, linguistically metamorphosing the unknown of a murky, muddy idea into to the crystalline clarity of the familiar. Language itself functions analogously — ”that is a chair” solidifies reference, subtended by tradition, culture and practice, from a concrete object to a gaseous concept, and sublimating back again. “No ideas but in things,” wrote W.C. Williams. (Duffey, Litz, & MacGowan, 1987) Karan Barad inverts this relation with her own rejoinder: “Language matters. Discourse matters. Culture matters. There is an important sense in which the only thing that does not seem to matter anymore is matter.” (Micciche, 2014)01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
