- PublikationThe Rewrite Collaborative Framework Browser Extension(15.02.2022) Bruder, Johannes; Sobecka, Karolina; Granzotto, Alberto; Frei, Fabian; Suess, Solveig; Kolb, LucieA browser extension, based on the open access framework hypothes.is, which allows for collective reading and annotation of complex texts (e.g. policy texts, legal texts, international treaties). The extension can be used for teaching & research, consensus-building and negotiation, reviewing or rewriting. Please consult the manuals before installing and using the extension.09 - Software
- PublikationVisualizing climate science: the poster between science and politics(2020) Brönnimann, Stefan; Allen, Jamie; Sobecka, Karolina; Suess, Solveig; Chatterjee, SiraThe geosciences play a role outside of the natural, research sciences as agents responding to geopolitical crises like climate change and corporate and military interests that seek strategic advantage in planetary repair and control. The notion of the neutrality of science has increasingly eroded with researchers more frequently becoming embroiled in public deliberation and policy. Geoscientists are being asked to project the future of physical earth systems as well as evaluate the performance of policies (Beck and Mahony 2018) contributing to solutions and providing metrics for “climate services” (Daly and Dilling 2019). How the story of the earth, its climate and ecology, are told, is developed in specific ways, evoking different kinds of value and purpose for different communities.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationConcerning Circulations: Cybernetic Stewardship & Planetary Engineering(2019) Allen, Jamie; Chatterjee, Sria; Sobecka, Karolina"Our age of climate crisis brings with it intimate, acute relations between informational environments and real ecologies. Technoscience has understood ecological change, environmental crisis, and human and non-human climate migrations through imagery — circulated through scientific publication, popular media, our devices, networks and imaginations as photographs of fieldwork, and an iconography of starving polar bears. Applied scientific powers attempt to regulate real, situated natures through inversions of this imagery as visual rubrics and illustrations. Pixels and CO2 molecules, data streams and jetstreams, abstract diagrams and engineering practices amalgamate. What results is a vision of elemental automation, planetary machinic worlding and technological care that authorises real conservation and geoengineering practices, growing green in Silicon Valley and explicitly trying to bring about »Gaia 2.0.«. »Concerning Circulations« is articulated through two media streams, one ongoing and the other summative, culminating at the end of the web residency. Collaborative, online-research recovers the image-ecosystem of new regimes of planetary scale management of nature, such as carbon markets. The project reposts, contextualises and critiques the circulation of images and diagrams of control, creating a visual archive of contemporary cybernetic attentions. This archive, continuously updated in instagram-like fashion, in turn creates materials for three, narrated short essay-films, confidentials of the stories that new ecological engineering and climate innovation propaganda propagates."06 - Präsentation
- PublikationThis cycle, here, this one(2019) Allen, Jamie; Sobecka, Karolina"It is that which at this instant, issuing out of a labyrinthine tangle of yeses and no’s, makes my hand run along a certain path on the paper, mark it with these volutes that are signs: a double snap, up and down, between two levels of energy, guides this hand of mine to impress on the paper this dot, here, this one. – Primo Levi, “Carbon,” from The Periodic Table (1975) If there is a universe in every word, each atom also creates its own narrative. In this performance lecture spanning a contemporary history of its composition, markets and capture, a literary cycle of Carbon is developed in moving image, text and diagram. The use and abuse of cycles as models of exchange and circulation are examined for their appropriateness and applicability, and new models are proposed for our relationship to this building block of life, petrocultures and capitalism. Karolina Sobecka and Jamie Allen present a cyclical discussion in six elements for element number six. The lecture will include a hands-on element: we will ask the audience to re-draw the carbon cycle, based on their personal experiences."06 - Präsentation
- PublikationCycles of Discussion, Circulation of Images(2018) Allen, Jamie; Sobecka, KarolinaKarolina Sobecka (karolinasobecka.com) and Jamie Allen (jamieallen.com) are collaborating researchers, part of a research group interested in environmental humanities, art, design and science at the Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst FHNW in Basel, and associated with the media arts production facilities at the Critical Media Lab Basel. We are artist-researchers who often manifest our work as artworks, events and through mediums other than text-based publications, while writing and publications focus on the relationships between aesthetics, knowledge and environment (Allen 2017). Methodologically this work and research often encounters interdisciplinary collectives as a means of evoking, reflecting and understanding communities of practice (Allen et. al 2011) and attempts to devise alternative representations of these. Our current project and focus is on exploring the ways that climate science and planetary magnitude technologies are represented, deliberated and thought about in science, engineering on through policy, governance, technology and popular media.06 - Präsentation
