Shift Register: Tokyo Earth Observatory Workshop
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.
Shift Register: Launch Event
As 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?
