    Improvising institutions. Art & its institutional borders
    (De Gruyter, 25.10.2021) Allen, Jamie; Frye, Annika; Kruse, Christiane [in: Kunst an den Rändern, Wie aus Bildern und Objekten Kunst werden kann]
    Images are not born as art. With his ready-mades Marcel Duchamp embro-iled the art business in a debate about the inclusion and exclusion of every-day objects in ‘high’ art. Since then, it has been possible to cite Arthur Danto and talk of the „end of art“. In retros-pect it becomes clear that Duchamp’s expansion of what constitutes art resulted in an explosive increase of art objects and concepts of art, a trend still evident today. Moreover, images and objects from non-art areas with their own tradition provoke the art system by adapting art criteria. The contributions in this book address pro-vocations and interventions, the trans-fer or melding of image and object cultures and explore images, objects and actions in their cultural contexts to get to the bottom of the art system that is in a state of dissolution.

    Infrastructural Unrest
    (BCS Learning and Development, 2021) Allen, Jamie [in: POM Berlin 2021]
    ‘Infrastructural Unrest’ characterizes a growing nexus of knowledge, awareness, participative and activist practices that indicate how people are waking up from the contemporary logistical nightmare of infrastructure and global logistics. It is a wake-up that newly resonates with theories of infrastructure by provoking a systems-level, decentralised field of awareness and action, revealing the interconnections of ecologies of “invisible” systems, ways of life, work and people. The wilful, unwitting and projected invisibility of infrastructures, which modes of technological progressivism (e.g. “ambient computing”) attempt to disappear, prove available to rifts and interruptions in the smooth operations of infrastructural globalism. The specific ways in which infrastructures are (made) invisible, to whom and for what purposes, remains an ever more important consideration in the Technosphere, during the Anthropocene, and under conditions of planetarity. The 2020 Canadian pipeline and railway protests, the Wetʼsuwetʼen blockades, a series of blockades across Canada in solidarity with indigenous land defenders, are an example of ‘infrastructural unrest’. Actions like this are hopeful examples of a growing, situated awareness of how scaled infrastructures are (made) un-invisible and impactable, as sites where the localized effects and defects of colonial logics of extractive capital can be traced, diagnosed, subverted and halted.

    Manual Manuals: Media Reflexivity in Reading Through Tangible Artifacts
    (ACM, 2015) Allen, Jamie [in: TEI '15: Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction]
    Reading is a manual activity. The touch hands are ever- present: holding, turning, pointing, scrolling, clicking and scribbling are physical practices that engross people in the printed word. The project “AIME Tiles” began by thinking about howsystems of ideas can be translated into hybrid physical-concept tools. Further, the project attempts to resituate the scholarly activity of reading as a practice with its own material culture and media affordances. AIME Tiles, their design intent and construction are described as a modest sketch of tactile tools for scholarship— game pieces for playing with ideas while reading.

    Walkthrough research: methodological potentials for head-mounted cameras as reflexive tools in museum contexts
    (13.09.2014) Soares Paiva, Dionísio; Descure, Catherine; Bak, Jakob; Whitehead, Chris; Allen, Jamie [in: UbiComp '14 Adjunct: Proceedings of the 2014 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing: Adjunct Publication]
    This study investigates the potential of head-mounted video cameras as a technique for understanding human experience in museums. Goals of the research are to avoid over-determination of experience, instead providing digital tools for reflection and understanding. The work uses a head-mounted video camera, an interview, and a set of simple image processing techniques to explore methods for understanding relationships between people, objects, and museum spaces.

    Creative Ecologies in Action: Technology and the Workshop-as-artwork
    (ISEA International, 2013) Clarke, Rachel; Galani, Areti; Wajda, Kamila; Allen, Jamie [in: Proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on Electronic Art, ISEA2013]
    As practice-theory orientations the arts and sciences have often seemed juxtaposed. We are interested in how a new generation of artist-scientists think, operate and communicate. We argue that it is crucial to find new forms and formats for engage- ment and communication in communities of inter- disciplinary research and practice. In this paper, we investigate the discursive and communicative relation between different disciplines, in social and experiential events (conferences, festivals, and the like). For this purpose, we will build upon the experiences and observations from various ‘Re- mix’ situations in which art-scientists meet in conference and festival settings.

    Reconsidering experiential knowledge in the relation of art and science practices

    Creative Ecologies in Action: Technology & the Workshop-as-Artwork
    (2011) Clarke, Rachel; Galani, Areti; Wajda, Kamila; Allen, Jamie
    A shift is occurring, particularly evident in art-and-technology contexts, in which the artist-led workshop is transformed into an important and distinguishable artistic form. Resulting from, and contributing to, the new accesses and relationships people have to information, creative culture, materials and one another, the "workshop-as-artwork" is proposed, outlined and exampled.

    An Ecology of Practice: Chiptune Marching Band
    (ACM, 2011) Kazuhiro, Jo; Galani, Areti; Allen, Jamie [in: C&C '09: Proceedings of the seventh ACM conference on Creativity and Cognition]
    Chiptune Marching Band (CTMB) is a workshop- performance held in diverse public venues internationally (http://chiptunemarchingband.com/). The CTMB project proposes a contemporary form of dialogic art – an inclusive, participatory event designed to provide direct experience of resource, social and creative dynamics. In this poster we invoke the phrase “ecology of practice” to describe CTMB in terms of a number of interrelationships: amongst skills, with materials, in creativity and between participants. We also present our evaluative methods for ‘participant’ feedback within this type of event that are designed to be congruous with the overall intention.
