DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION October 1st 2020 10:00 am (UTC+01:00) Belgrade, Bratislava, Budapest, Ljubljana, Prague. WORKSHOP CONTENT Does an algorithm/atom/octopus/bacteria have a world? Our perception has been limited to what is visible to the human eye and human world. Science and technical fields see the universe more expansively and fundamentally that we as artists and designers are only beginning to explore. But what does the world look like through radically different eyes? Can we even comprehend this new perspective? For this workshop, you are asked to imagine what the universe looks like from the perspective of a non-human. This can be an invented creature or an existing one. You will begin by living and thinking as this organism for at least a day, document your experiences, thoughts in writing, visual and auditory form. In this experimental media art workshop we will employ video, sound, 3D scanning to engage others around us—both human and non-human—and create new fictional worlds in concert with the life forms around and inside us. We will discuss imminent texts from contemporary posthumanist philosophy, enhance our understanding of qualia, other minds, object oriented ontology and learn to translate these concepts to our visual practice.
