    Testing Against the World
    (Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, 01.03.2020) Ricci, Donato; Allen, Jamie [in: Diseña]
    This special issue explores how do we account for the sensitive, intimate ways in which our toolsets ‒ and our choices of these ‒ become the infrastructures that co-produce and co-constitute knowledge and meanings. Testing Against the World aimed at addressing, exploring, and making more explicit the following questions: What drives the choice of toolsets in empir­ical investigations? Why does contemporary research demand to be ‘grounded’ empirically? What professional, personal, and emo­tional attachments afford the selection of particular means of observation and translation? What do we expect from our tools? What do they expect of us? How are tools and technologies instrumen­talized? How have tools and research adapted or been forced to adapt to new empirical demands, and knowledge economies? What have such settings required us to assume, acquire, or impose? How do choices of instruments and tools pre-format worlds under investigation and authorize the creation of new worlds?

    The Earth is an Art, Like Everything Else
    (Osage Publications, 2020) Allen, Jamie; Merewether, Charles; Zielinski, Siegfried [in: Art in the 21st Century: Reflections and Provocations]
    The 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.

    Message 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.

    Shift Register: Tokyo Earth Observatory Workshop
    (2018) Howse, Martin; Allen, Jamie; Kemp, Jonathan
    Located 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.

    Letter from the Editors: R3PAIR VOLUME
    (Continent, 2017) Allen, Jamie; Houston, Lara; Rosner, Daniela K; Jackson, Steven J. [in: Continent]
    Like all collaborative endeavors, bringing together an edited collection is about fixing as much as gathering the insights and details (and yes, flaws and limits) of individually or jointly conceived pieces to bring about a larger conversational whole – a drawing forth, or drawing together, of scattered threads and pieces into something considerably messier than a quilt. All the more so when the collection is the result of a generative collaboration, bringing guest editors Lara Houston, Daniela K. Rosner, Steven J. Jackson in conversation with the continent. collective to present this special issue “R3pair Volume”. The conversation of course runs deeper and longer than the 17+ months of engagement among the contributors here. For the last 5, 10, 20 or 100 years (pick your starting point!), a motley and heterogeneous band of thinkers from Europe, North America, and the world have grown suspicious of the stories we tell about objects as stable and therefore rather settled things (whose drama, if any, inheres only at moments of design); and the way these stories render invisible a whole range of human relationships with and to objects that turn out to be central to sustaining the worlds around us, however provisional.

    Letter from the Editors: The Technosphere, Dialogues II
    (Continent, 2017) Allen, Jamie [in: Continent]
    It is with warmth, appreciation, and exuberance that continent. presents a new issue which extends the dialogue on the technosphere. "The Technosphere" is Peter Haff's term for the planetary-scale networks of transport, information, energy, and media operating at a scale that we can now compare with geologic and climatic forces. It is a term, aligning with discourses about the Anthropocene, that helps characterise and describe an earth enwrapped and forever reworked by the human modulations and amplifications of matter and energy.

    free wifi here
    (Continent, 2017) Allen, Jamie [in: Continent]
    I am writing these words in an airport, and into a text file, because I’m having trouble getting online. Due to quite a few misaligned techno-bureaucratic constellations, I cannot connect to the internet.

    The Longest Lightbulb
    (Continent, 2017) Allen, Jamie [in: Continent]
    There is a light bulb in America with a name, and its name is the “Centennial Light”. It is the world’s longest-lasting electric light. Although it has slightly dimmed over its long life, this incandescent bulb has never burnt out or otherwise failed. It has not required any particular care from the human beings who installed it and turned it on over 115 years ago, save the provision of electricity.

    Letter from the Editors: The Technosphere, Now
    (Continent, 2016) Allen, Jamie [in: Continent]
    The technosphere is an emergent weft of our geo-systemic fabric. The Technosphere project team of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) and the para-academic collective and publication group continent. have collaborated here on an unwinding of technospheric matters, ideas and experiences, that we hope you, dear reader, will trace out with us.

    Acoustic Infrastructure
    (Continent, 2016) Allen, Jamie; Khaikin, Lital; Linder, Isaac [in: Continent]
    The street-level sonic cultures, acoustic ecologies and personal interventions available to us have, during this long 20th Century, become proliferated by speakers, microphones, synthesised and recorded playbacks, beeps, buzzes and alarms. Roving gangs of indignant mobile-phone music-listeners disrupt the public transit experience. iPhones chirp out the sound of something called ‘crickets’, creatures many a listener may very well never encounter. Airlines pass on the extravagant levy of ‘noise charges’ to their customers, a kind of psychic and acoustic bandwidth fee. Microwave ovens, automobiles and authoritative ahuman voices chime out an acoustic ecology that is neither ‘natural’ nor ‘cultural’, neither ‘societal’ nor ‘technological’, but something that is a heterogeneous mixture of all of these sources, causes and categories. These are 'acoustic infrastructures', and although human-made, they are naturalised by their ubiquity and always-on-ness, along with our allover, everyday, experience of them.
