- PublikationHustle, Grind and Sleep(2022) Allen, Jamie; Kellermeyer, Jonas [in: The Posthumanist]We work endlessly. Whether it be justified by love,money, or both, it seems clear that the popular imaginary and contemporary conditions of the industrialised West are arranged such that there is always more work to do. We are always working — on ourselves, on others (things, relationships, people), presuming to understand its value and utility, and presuming that it will always increase the common good. Albert Camus’ famous inversion — to regard Sisyphus as the prototype of a happy person, always assured of work, always with something to do — is a seemingly benign allegory for microcultures in which continuous work is a must, a mantra, a mania and a meme; microcultures in which leisure is luxury, and sleep is optional.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationArchive Earth. Ambiguous Conversations and Conversions(Cantonal and University Library Fribourg, 15.04.2021) Allen, Jamie [in: Roadsides]For the journal Roadsides, Archive Earth is a visual and textual essay that explores Earth as a home, a resource for industry and markets, a repository for traces of conjoined natural and human histories, and a laboratory for the measurement of planetary phenomena. The essay explores the social, cultural and political life of infrastructure through aphoristic text, global fieldwork footages from Chile, Canada, Finland, and elsewhere, and perspectival voices: “I have already said that we think like the world; now I am saying that the world thinks like us”, as Michel Serres wrote in 2017.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationInterviews with the Swamp Thing, the Poacher and the Healer(11.12.2020) Kolb, Lucie; Garnicnig, Bernhard; Allen, Jamie [in: Passepartout]Interactions with and within institutions have characteristic qualities, styles, personalities, and tone. These aspects of institutional life are difficult to capture through formal description or professional obligation. Institutions comprise performed characters, each activating infrastructural scenography in their way, infusing physical, procedural architectures with particular tonalities. How might we trace these performers? What are these performances, and for whom are they enacted? Transcribed here are conversations with essential practitioners. These are the characters of art institutions, tracing outlines of who they are and what they do, and how they perform it. Necessarily veiled and anonymized, these personnel profiles have monikers following their ways of life within the institution: Swamp Thing, Poacher, and Healer. They recount and refract dimensions of the critically indivisible person-professional-practitioner entities that people in arts and cultural institutions find themselves impelled or compelled to become. Such exchanges about practices in institutions reveal how these contexts demand that we enact reactionary and curative roles, composed within the constraints and affordances of the scenographic infrastructure of buildings and publications, policies and procedures, presumption, and tradition.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationBeyond the Media Reveal(26.06.2020) Allen, Jamie [in: Seismograf]The ‘media reveal’ is a perspective and gesture of art and media-making, theory and writing. It is a staging of continuous surprises – reveals – that always attempt to denature and remove supposed myths and illusions from or behind media technologies and their infrastructures, often highlighting materiality or materialist function, and political economies. Beyond the Media Reveal is a keynote lecture, given at the 2019 RE:SOUND Media Arts Histories conference in Denmark, hosted by Aalborg University's RELATE Research Laboratory for Art and Technology. It is also the title of a peer-reviewed, published article derived from the lecture for the Seismograf journal of art and sound media. Beyond the Media Reveal attempts to characterize the media reveal narrative as it appears in media art, along with the stories media artists tell themselves through critical theory and thinking. Does this gesture expose or depose the always present power structures and technocratic didacticism that often remain? If we sought to go beyond this 'media reveal', what new practices of knowledge should emerge?01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationTesting 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?01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- 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
- PublikationThe 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.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationLetter 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.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationLetter 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.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- Publikationfree 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.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
