#Additivism residency and events in Auckland March 21 – April 5, 2016

by Lloyd Sharp

Hi Just thought I might draw attention to this interesting series of events based in Auckland from this next week onwards. Haven’t seen any mention of it on this list so hope that it is appropriate to post info here. I’m originally from Auckland but based in Sydney Australia for some long time - but dropping across to attend part of the #additivism Workshop being run as part of this residency. They are both entertaining speakers and artists and I would recommend them highly. ____ March 21 – April 5, 2016 | Colab, AUT City Campus. #Additivism Residency and Event Series A series of events with the creators of the 3D Additivist Manifesto Morehshin Allahyari and Daniel Rourke Morehshin Allahyari (@morehshin) Morehshin Allahyari is a new media artist, art activist, educator, and occasional curator. She thinks about technology as a philosophical toolset to reflect on objects; a poetic mean to document the personal and collective lives we live and our struggles as humans in the 21st century. Morehshin has been part of numerous exhibitions and workshops around the world. Her work has been featured in Huffington Post, NPR, VICE, Parkett Art Magazine, Rhizome, Hyperallergic, Art F City, Creators Project, Dazed Digital, Neural Magazine, Global Voices Online, and Al Jazeera among others. Morehshin is the Co-Founder of the Experimental Research Lab at Pier9/Autodesk. http://www.morehshin.com Daniel Rourke (@therourke) is a writer/artist and academic. His research hijacks speculative and science fiction in search of a radical ‘outside’ to the human(ities), including extensive writing on the intersection between digital materiality and the arts. He is a feature and review writer for Rhizome.org and Furtherfield.org, lecturer in Digital Media Arts at London South Bank University, and associate lecturer for the History of Art, Design and Film at Kingston University. Daniel will complete his PhD at Goldsmiths, University of London, in early 2016. http://machinemachine.net ____ https://colab.aut.ac.nz/events/additivism-residency/ There are a number of associated talks and ‘meetups’ aside from the week long workshop. The Additivism residency and event series is being run by Colab in collaboration with the 3D printing Lab with support from the Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies at AUT. _________________ Lloyd Sharp - lsharp(a)bigpond.net.au [Digital Art & Design] www.chickenfish.cc [Food Growing] www.chickenfish.cc/bio/ __________________

Call for submissions-Journal of Comparative Media Arts SUMMER ISSUE 2016

by CMA Journal

Hello, I'm forwarding a call for submissions from the CMA Journal for the Summer Issue on Bare or Bear life. The Journal of Comparative Media Arts provides a dynamic, scholarly forum to discuss contemporary topics in the audio, visual, performing and media arts by publishing the finest work from graduate, post-graduate, post-doctoral and early-career scholars. It is trans-disciplinary, open-access, peer-reviewed and run by graduate students in the Comparative Media Arts Program at the School for Contemporary Arts, Simon Fraser University. We welcome experimental and creative writing, works-in-progress, collaborations and lively debates that are critically engaged in the ever shifting range and scope of the humanities, fine arts, and critical and cultural studies. Please consider submitting to the Journal and forward to your networks. For questions, please contact the Editorial Committee at info(a)cmajournal.ca ************************************************************************************************** CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: THE JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE MEDIA ARTS (AT THE SCHOOL FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTS, SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY) The Journal of Comparative Media Arts is calling for artworks, long papers, short papers and photo essays on the theme BARE LIFE OR BEAR LIFE for our SUMMER ISSUE 2016. Forward-thinking submissions that take up contemporary culture and the fine arts will be carefully reviewed by our Peer Review Committee. We select works for publication based on their importance and originality, along with their quality of presentation and relevance to the remit of the Journal. Your submission must not have been published elsewhere. Deadline for submissions: Friday April 15, 2016, 23:59 PST For more information visit THE CMA Journal online: http://cmajournal.ca/call-for-submissions/ SUMMER ISSUE THEME The words “bare life” bring to mind Giorgio Agamben’s concept of homo sacer – a permanent and invisible space of maximal political power. Here, persons legally reduced to the status of mere life can be subjected to any manner of violence with impunity. Agamben suggests that we have all become “bare life,” because state powers sublimate the natural life (zoe) within the body politic (bios). Modern politics have produced an “anthropological machine” that liquidates anything in itself that it deems non-human. Agamben’s critique can be applied to conditions of life such as those suffered by the First Nations in Canada, political prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and migrants randomly executed while trying to cross national borders. Achille Mbembe, expanding Agamben’s line of thought, argues in Necropolitics that we face “the interest of maximum destruction of persons and the creation of death-worlds, new and unique forms of social existence in which vast populations are subjected to conditions of life conferring upon them the status of living dead.” We have to ask, do these anti-human death-worlds not also include our vast impacts on bio-diversity and species extinction? More positively, vitalist writers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari privilege the creative potential of sub-individual singularities: “bare” nomadic becomings that push beyond the all-too-human. Similarly poised on the radical promise of a “bare” and free “zone of indistinction” between human, animal and automata, Rosi Braidotti speaks of “becoming-other-than-human.” She urges us to a “life beyond death” and to the formation of new post-human subjectivities, ethics and politics. Is it time to get beyond the singular importance of human life? And if so, in what ways, and for what purpose? For instance, in Buddhism “bare life” is found in conditioned arising and non-conceptual awareness during meditation. The philosophy expresses radical non-alignment to all forms of ideology, while its heroic resistance to power, for instance the self-immolation of monk Thích Quảng Đức during the Vietnam War, expresses non-violence, calm exposure to death and a willing acceptance of “emptiness.” Walter Benjamin says something, perhaps, not so different in his Critique of Violence. A human being is in no way equivalent to the mere life of man, no more than the mere life in him is any one of his situations and qualities, indeed not even to the uniqueness of his physical person. As sacred as the human is (or also that life in him, which consists identically in earthly life, death and afterlife), so little (sacred) are his situations, his physical, humanly vulnerable life. It would surely be worthwhile investigating the origin of the dogma of the sacredness of Life. Possibly, indeed probably it is recent, the last aberration of a weakened Western tradition in search of its lost saint. What is bare life? How can it be used? We referred to a number of writers who opened up the topic in the hopes that our Call for Submissions can enable wild and free thinking on BARE LIFE (or a post-human BEAR LIFE). We invite you to creatively and critically respond to our questions from the myriad scholarly, artistic and spiritual ways available. And, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
