‘A hurricane is also a prompt’ at ‘Hurricanes and Scaffolding’, the Symposium on Artistic Research in Umea, Sweden.
December 4, 2024
I´ll be presenting ‘A hurricane is also a prompt. Emergencies as the state-of-my-art.’, an artistic research poster as part of Session M, a Parallel session for Installations and Posters at UmArts, the Research Centre for Architecture, Design and the Arts at Umea University.
From ‘Hurricanes and Scaffolding: Symposium on Artistic Research’:
This year the Swedish Research Council Symposium on Artistic Research explores the dynamic interplay between more-than-human forces and culturally resilient structures. Drawing inspiration from Nora N. Khan's contrasting concepts of "hurricanes and scaffolding", we invite researchers in the field of art to identify the frameworks, practices, perspectives and themes that art can bring to the broader discourses of society, environment, technology and politics.
More about the theme:
The concepts of hurricanes and scaffolding will be used to identify new critically reflexive frameworks that the arts bring to the wider discourses of society, technology and politics. The hurricane being a non-human force, and scaffolding being the built infrastructure on which systems can grow. Nora N.Khan outlines her concepts of hurricanes and scaffolding in her essay ‘Towards a poetics of Artificial Super Intelligence’ (In: ‘The Atlas of Anomalous AI’ edited by Ben Vickers and K Allado-McDowell). The symposium presentations will explore human and non-human perspectives on infrastructures for new ways of thinking and making.
