Résumé : Les chapitres de ce livre sont tirés du premier Festival de psychologie africaine organisé par l’Association Sikotwomatis ak Afrikanite (SITWOMAFRIKA), un Institut de recherche sur les traumatismes de l’esclavage et la psychologie africaine, en partenariat avec l’Institut de Recherches et d’Études Africaines de l’Université d’État d’Haïti,  à Port-au-Prince du 27 au 29 mai 2016. Ce livre cherche à nourrir la réflexion sur la place de l’histoire de l’esclavage dans le développement psychosocial des pays colonisés et sur l’incapacité de la psychologie occidentale à comprendre les personnes de culture africaine dans toutes leurs dimensions. Il vise aussi à faire (ré)-émerger ou à promouvoir des paradigmes théoriques, des outils, des techniques et méthodes thérapeutiques alimentés par la vision du monde cosmocentrique africaine.

SIGNALS – an Exhibition of the Snowden Files in Art, Media and Archives

SIGNALS – an Exhibition of the Snowden Files in Art, Media and Archives

September 12-26, 2017 | DIAMONDPAPER Studio | Köpenicker Straße 96 | Berlin

For more information see www.berlinergazette.de/signals

SIGNALS is the first project to critically engage with artists responding to the NSA-files leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden. Considering the most relevant contexts in which the files have ‘surfaced’ (including media and archives), it reflects on how artists are deploying the files as raw material.

With contributions by Zeljko Blace (CRO), Andrew Clement (CAN), Naomi Colvin (GBR), Simon Denny (NZL), Christoph Hochhäusler (GER), Evan Light (CAN), Geert Lovink (NED), M.C. McGrath (USA), Henrik Moltke (DEN), Deborah Natsios (USA), Julian Oliver (NZL), Trevor Paglen (USA), Laura Poitras (USA), Norman Posselt (GER), SAZAE bot (JPN), Stefan Tiron (ROU), University of the Phoenix (CAN), Andi Weiland (GER), Maria Xynou (ESP), John Young (USA) and more.

The title of the project takes its cue from the special language used by intelligence agencies: they refer to any communication that takes place within society as a ‘signal’, and they collect and analyze these ‘signals’ on a massive scale. The exhibition translates this special language into the language of culture, where the world is coded and decoded in the form of ‘signals’ shaped by political and economic contexts.

Exhibition

The exhibition is partitioned into two sections: frontend and backend. These terms designate on the one hand computerized user interfaces, on the other data bases which reside behind the interfaces. The latter, the backend, structures the possibilities of the frontend, e.g. by monitoring all interactions and by using that data to optimize and predict future uses. All of this remains unaccessible and opaque to users. The exhibition turns the tables on these conditions and complicates them.

The exhibition program is complemented with talks, performances and workshops as well as two publications that extend the dialectical frontend/backend narrative of the exhibition.

Events and books

The exhibition program is complemented with talks, performances and workshops (see dates below) as well as two publications that extend the dialectical frontend/backend narrative of the exhibition.

A Field Guide to the Snowden Files. Media, Art, Archives. 2013-2017, edited by the exhibition curators Magdalena Taube and Krystian Woznicki, gathers for the first time a representative selection of artists working with the Snowden files and places them in context with appropriations by media folks and archivists.

Fugitive Belonging is a monographic publication by Krystian Woznicki. Containing an extensive essay and more than 100 photographs, it reflects the broader socio-political context behind the Snowden disclosures, focusing on the politics of citizenship in the networked state.

Both books are published by DIAMONDPAPER: https://diamondpaper.net/

Uitnodiging: Presentatie The Riddle of the Real City – 13 september Academie van Bouwkunst

THE RIDDLE OF THE REAL CITY
Hoe staat het met de verborgen premissen van de stedenbouwkunde? Zijn we wel toekomstproof? Zijn de theoretische kernbegrippen van de stedenbouw en de architectuur wel geschikt voor het tijdperk van de media? Kan historisch onderzoek een creatieve manier van denken stimuleren over de stedenbouw, landschapsarchitectuur en architectuur?

We moeten proberen de architectonische cultuur voorbij zijn eigen grenzen te denken!

Over bovenstaande vragen en stelling gaan we in gesprek met Wim Nijenhuis. Hij schreef het uitzonderlijke en mooie boek THE RIDDLE OF THE REAL CITY, or the Dark Knowledge of Urbanism. Een drieluik, uitgeven in print en epub in een samenwerking tussen 1001 Uitgevers en het Instituut voor Netwerkcultuur. Bestaande uit een traktaat over de geschiedenis van de stad; essays over de conditie van de stad in ons mediatijdperk en ‘meditaties’ over kennistheoretische kwesties. Ze zijn elk op een eigen manier geschreven en gecomponeerd als een ‘wolkessay’ dat ‘democratisch lezen’ mogelijk moet maken.

Programma
Architectuurhistorica Rixt Hoekstra gaat in gesprek met Wim Nijenhuis over zijn historisch onderzoek van het denken over de stad en de grondslagen (herkomsten) van de stedenbouw. Aan bod komen zijn onderzoeksmethodiek – de genealogie- en de uitgangspunten daarvan, de rol van de bestaansesthetiek in het stedenbouwkundig werk in heden en verleden, de relatie tussen stedenbouw en mediatechniek en vraagstukken van geschiedenis en kritiek.

Waarom zouden we moeten proberen om de architectonische cultuur voorbij zijn eigen grenzen te denken?

Miriam Rasch van het Instituut van Netwerkcultuur (HvA) bespreekt hoe experimentele uitgaven zoals THE RIDDLE dienen om de positie van het medium boek te onderzoeken, de grenzen van de hedendaagse digitale techniek op te rekken en het bereik van theoretisch werk te vergroten tot de schaal van de wereld. Met Wim Nijenhuis bespreekt ze zijn manier van denken en schrijven en hoe dat nu juist nieuwe vormen van publiceren oproept.

Maike van Stiphout, hoofd afdeling Landschapsarchitectuur van de Academie van Bouwkunst Amsterdam is moderator.

Woensdag 13 september 2017 van 17.00 – 18.30 uur in de Balkenzaal
ACADEMIE VAN BOUWKUNST – Waterlooplein 211-213, 1011 PG Amsterdam
Vrije toegang, reserveren is niet nodig

Wim Nijenhuis studeerde stedenbouw aan de TU Delft, promoveerde in Theorie en Geschiedenis van de Architectuurs, doceerde aan TU’s en Academies en is publicist, o.a. van De diabolische snelweg en Eating Brasil.
Miriam Rasch (Instituut voor Netwerkcultuur van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam) doet onderzoek naar nieuwe publicatievormen. Dit voorjaar verscheen haar essaybundel Zwemmen in de oceaan, berichten uit een postdigitale wereld.
Rixt Hoekstra is internationaal architectuurhistorica (Duitsland, Oostenrijk en Italië). Zij promoveerde op “Building versus Bildung, Manfredo Tafuri and the construction of a discipline”. Onlangs ontving zij de Milka Bliznakov Price for Research on Women and Architecture.

So what about Politics?–Call for contributions (iMAL Brussels, Nov. 3/4, 2017)

“If the past 10 years have been about discovering post-institutional social models on the Web, then the next 10 years will be about applying them to the real world.” Chris Anderson, 2010, www.wired.com)

So, what about politics? (November 3/4 2017 @  iMAL, Brussels)  looks at initiatives that could be seen as the avant-garde of a new political era. In a critical period of crisis in our political systems, we welcome artists, activists, academics, and everyone using innovative technological tools to reclaim political processes or to shape new forms of organisation, from local collectives to global movements.

As  Rebecca Solnit says, “It’s equally true that democracy is flourishing in bold new ways in grassroots movements globally”, and “There is far more politics than the mainstream of elections and governments, more in the margins where hope is most at home.” How does this apply to the margins of our technological imagination? Which tools and practices are being dreamed of, tested and explored?

What is the impact of today’s Internet-inspired post-institutional thinking on the practice of political action? For this we focus on tactics, tools and visions of grassroots initiatives, as well as on changing government policies and strategies.

iMAL wants to invite its guests to look beyond the often-perceived neutrality of technology and unveil underlying narratives. The symposium revolves around questions such as: What are the politics of a P2P society? How can we perceive a network as a real “distributed agora”? What can we learn from artist- or activist-led experiments focusing on collectivity and political agency? And most important: What are the concrete tools and initiatives today that really try to facilitate and use new forms of agency such as liquid democracy, e-governance, civic intelligence, platform cooperativism and autonomous self-organisation?

OPEN CALL: Digital culture and technology. But what about politics?

This is an open call for contributions by artists, activists, technologists, designers, researchers, citizen initiatives, collectives or groups to the symposium ‘So, what about politics?’. The event will be held on November 3-4, 2017 in Brussels at iMAL, the Brussels-based center for digital cultures and technology.

Send your proposal to SoWhatAboutPolitics@imal.org
Deadline: September 1st, 2017

This Open Call is not restricted to specific kinds of contributions. You can send us proposals for a lecture, workshop, performance, installation… Day 1 of the symposium will be focusing on lectures and presentations. Day 2 is reserved for participatory activities such as Open Assembly Lab or Workshops.Proposals will be selected according to their relevance and feasibility (logistics, budget).

The symposium is curated by Bram Crevits in collaboration with Yves Bernard (iMAL.org). This event is organised by iMAL (Brussels center for Digital Cultures and Technology) in collaboration with the Institute of Network Cultures (Amsterdam), Medialab Prado (Madrid) and KASK/School of Arts (Ghent).

After the symposium Blockchain.Fact.Fiction.Future in 2016, So what about Politics? continues our exploration of how society can be improved with the digital world. So what about Politics? is supported by Saison des Cultures Numériques 2017, Ministery of Culture (Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles).
