SUMMARY:Women in Focus: Monika Čejková
DESCRIPTION:Art historian\, writer and curator of the Modern and Contemporary Art Collection at the National Gallery Prague\, Monika Čejková\, will open our new talk series\, Women in Focus. Monika will discuss her interest in contemporary art\, which paved her journey to becoming an author and curator. She will also describe her recent projects\, mostly dealing with the notion and modification of art in the digital age. Specifically\, she will talk about the philosophy of new technologies\, artificial intelligence\, cyberculture and the topics of the post-gender world\, post-humanism and digisexuality. \n\n\n\nMonika’s talk will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: \n\n\n\nMonika Čejková is a curator of the next Fotograf Festival 2023: #Hypertension23 at National Gallery Prague and Ora et lege II at Broumov Monastery\, 2023. Recent exhibitions include\, e.g.\, The Palace of Concrete Poetry at Writers House of Georgia in Tbilisi (2022)\, Neo-rising at Polansky Gallery in Prague (2022)\, Ora et lege I at Broumov Monastery (2021)\, Fantasy Finery at Berlínskej model Gallery in Prague (2021)\, Blasted Heathat AM 180 Gallery in Prague (2020). She studied the History of Art at Charles University in Prague. She is currently undergoing a curatorial residency at the Delfina Foundation in London\, during which she plans to continue to explore the theme of art in the (post) digital age and extend her research to art about the new identity of the human being whose original form has been abstracted by digital space. \n\n\n\nIn 2020\, Monika launched a long-term nomadic project titled “Ora et lege” – a critical dialogue between contemporary art and the teachings of the Benedictine order and the Catholic Church. This project is thematically focused on the work of contemporary visual artists with text and paved the way for another subject that Monika is currently exploring: the literary turn in visual art\, which has brought various forms of authorial writing to the fore relation to the overabundance of digital text. \n\n\n\nMore info: \n\n\n\nwww.monikacejkova.com \n\n\n\nwww.instagram.com/monika_cejkova \n\n\n\nPART OF WOMEN IN FOCUS \n\n\n\nWomen In Focus is Czech Centre London’s new programme series introducing inspiring female personalities and their accomplished professional journeys. The themes of the discussions will include the arts\, the fashion industry\, architecture\, ballet\, and many other professional fields. \n\n\n\nThe series aims to unveil specific intricacies in various fields through dialogue and open discussion with the audience. Our speakers will also address the challenges that they encountered as professional women working in often male-dominated environments\, and they’ll share practices that led to their successful and rewarding accomplishments.

Born in Iraq\, surrounded by golden stone courtyards and impressive architecture\, she spent her childhood immersed in the rich landscapes of the Middle East before moving to London in the Seventies. Ahuva’s intimate understanding of the materials she uses for her sculptures\, for examples her process of casting handmade wax moulds into bronze\, shows her immersion in the creative process right down to the fingerprints still visible on the sculptures themselves. For this series of sculptures\, titled New Movement\, Ahuva has chosen to explore how bronze can be used to convey the same malleability and flexibility of the human form. The poses struck by the sculptures themselves are a direct representation of Ahuva’s love for yoga and her time teaching.

SUMMARY:Ethical Matters: Art and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:In June 2022\, Cosmopolitan revealed its cover for its AI issue. The image was generated by an artificialintelligence app and ‘Only took twenty seconds.’ The excitement about the possibilities of AI creativity became balanced with the ethical and creative concerns about how these images are generated and what it means for the future of art – human or otherwise. \nIn January 2023\, three artists in America placed a class action lawsuit against leading AI art tools Stability AI\, DeviantArt\, and Midjourney\, alleging that they infringed on the rights of thousands of artists and other creatives under the guise of artificial intelligence. They were using pre-existing images to create their supposedly quick\, artist–free images. Following this\, voice actors realised they had potentially signed their voices away by signing contracts that included an agreement that their voice could be synthesised by an AI in the future. \nHow do artists make a living in a world where art can be produced just by typing in a few words? Could art stagnate with machine produced simulacra silting up the flow of human art and creativity? Or are we missing the potential of machine art to enhance the art world? \nAdd your own voice to the conversation as we explore this creative uncanny valley with Arthur I. Miller\, author of The Artist in the Machine: The World of AI-Powered Creativity and Emeritus Professor History and Philosophy of Science\, University College London\, alongside Reema Selhi\, Head of Policy and International at DACS\, a not-for-profit visual artists’ rights management organisation.

SUMMARY:Digital Practices - Masterclass with climate change expert Angela YT Chan
DESCRIPTION:Develop a socially and environmentally responsible digital practice in this Masterclass with climate change specialist\, researcher\, curator and artist Angela YT Chan. Learn about the historical roots of the climate crisis\, gain tools for applying climate literacy in your digital projects\, and develop frameworks for building a sustainable future in the digital sector. \n\n\n\nPurchase tickets here! \n\n\n\n11:30-13:30\, 20 May – Session 1 \n\n\n\nSituating Digital Practices in Climate Change History and Toward Climate Justice \n\n\n\nThis session aims to provide an overview of the history of climate change to support the fundamental goals of intersectional climate justice. The focus will be on how the exploitative colonial histories of people and the planet have contributed to the climate crisis and how uneven global developments have perpetuated it. By grasping these concepts\, we can establish a foundation for exploring the significant role that evolving digital practices play in promoting positive change. \n\n\n\n14:00 – 16:00\, 20 May – Session 2 \n\n\n\nTools for Climate Literacy in Digital Practices \n\n\n\nIn this session\, you will be introduced to some of the tools available to digital practitioners to develop climate literacy while working on their projects. The different terms that will be covered include carbon footprint\, carbon offsetting\, sustainability\, sustainable development\, and others. Throughout the session\, we will prioritise a climate justice approach that places people at the centre of the climate struggle. Additionally\, we will examine the environmental impacts of software and hardware used in the creative process. \n\n\n\n16:30 – 18:30\, 20 May – Session 3 \n\n\n\nFrameworks for Environmentally and Socially Responsible Digital Practices \n\n\n\nIn this session\, the focus will remain on the climate justice approach to digital practices. The aim is to discuss the long-term infrastructures and resources digital practitioners would like to see in their sector. The session will explore the type of commissioning\, material\, and financial support required by digital practitioners to build a sustainable future. This includes support from funders and institutional hosts. Additionally\, the session will examine the grassroots and other digital practitioners’ existing resources. The objective is to cultivate sustainable digital practices that go beyond climate literacy and include a compassionate understanding of the cultural\, social\, and political dynamics associated with the climate crisis. \n\n\n\n——————————————————————————- \n\n\n\nTo participate in Session 1\, you should bring a laptop or tablet and a phone with a camera. You will also need to log into your Google account to access Creation tools in the Google Earth browser\, so please make sure you have the necessary devices and an internet connection. If you don’t have access to a Google account\, you can work in a small group with someone who does. Additionally\, you will need to use your phone camera to take pictures of collages and upload them to Google Earth. \n\n\n\nFor all workshops\, it is recommended that participants come prepared to reflect on their own practice. This includes considering material factors such as hardware\, software\, and other materials\, as well as immaterial factors such as your concepts and relationships\, especially in relation to the environment\, people\, and places. \n\n\n\n——————————————————————————- \n\n\n\n£20 per session \n\n\n\n£45 for the entire day (3 sessions) \n\n\n\n——————————————————————————- \n\n\n\nThrough workshops led by artists\, arebyte’s digital training sessions provide practical techniques for digital making. \n\n\n\nFrom introductory to more advanced sessions on coding\, 3D designing\, sound editing\, cross-platform game engines\, and virtual world-making\, the creative courses provide hands-on tools that participants can apply in their creative development for all educational levels. \n\n\n\nFor questions or enquiries\, please email arebyte Gallery at hello@arebyte.com.

SUMMARY:Towards a Cosmotechnic Psychedelia: film screenings and panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:Towards a Cosmotechnic Psychedelia is an event presented by arebyte in collaboration with artist and researcher Helen Knowles. The event comprises screenings of films by artists and a panel discussion that seeks to explore various topics described in Yuk Hui’s ‘Cosmo technics’\, from alternate states and entity encounters to ethical\, moral\, and social influences. These factors continue to shape the use of psychedelics and plant-based medicinal tools by communities in the Global South\, like Putumayo in Colombia\, and in affluent Western societies. \n\n\n\nThe event is part of Helen’s current PhD research\, titled “More Than Human Healthcare”\, which involves collaborations with the Psychedelic Trials Team at King’s College London\, the London AI Centre\, and members of the Inga community in Putumayo\, Colombia. \n\n\n\nThis event looks beyond the West to move towards anti-universalist and pluralist perspectives on technologies and tools of connection. It aims to explore how artistic interventions and methods of narrative-building can assist us in creating collective awareness and connection in the contemporary context of the climate emergency\, as well as questioning how we cement solidarity without extractive or hierarchical agendas. \n\n\n\nThe event will begin with the screening of the experimental documentary film True Hallucinations\, directed by Péter Bergmann and based on Terence McKenna’s book Journey to La Chorerra. The film details his brother’s journey to Putumayo and the experiments that ensued\, blending 90s computational aesthetics with found footage of McKenna and his brother\, alongside McKenna’s famously hypnotic oration. This complex historical work forms the basis for understanding the problematic\, extractive\, Western-centric botanical objective to discover and sail the psychoanalytical seas of inner consciousness. \n\n\n\nFrom here\, we see more contemporary takes on the points raised (or ignored) in McKenna’s lifework: Ursula Biemann’s exploration of intelligence in nature from both shamanic and scientific perspectives and Patricia Dominguez’s enquiry into experimental ethnobotany and organic connection technologies that expand the perception of the vegetal and the spiritual world. Looking towards an embodied approach of psychedelics in medicine and mental health\, Andrea Khora visualises the effects of 10mg of ketamine inserted intravenously\, creating hallucinogenic and otherworldly images. Suzanne Triester approaches non-colonialist plans towards a techno-spiritual imaginary of alternative visions of survival on earth via a body of work titled TECHNOSHAMANISM. This sees an expansion and redefinition of technology that is engineered and redirected in new ways for positive global futures away from mainstream economic\, corporate and governmental forces. Rebeca Romero’s Voyager also questions the legitimacy of the notion of “discovery” and proposes a reassessment of dominant notions of intelligence\, technology\, and knowledge. \n\n\n\nPanellists include artist Helen Knowles\, Clinical Trials Manager at King’s College\, London\, Catherine Bird\, and artist Andrea Khora\, with contributions from Dr Hernando Chindoy Chindoy\, former Inga Community Leader\, Legal Representative of the Territorial Entity of the Inga Awai Population ATUN WASI IUIAI (AWAI)\, and co-founder of the AWAI Indigenous University. \n\n\n\nEvent Programme \n\n\n\n1.00 – 3.50 pm: Film screening \n\n\n\nPéter Bergmann\, Terence McKenna’s True Hallucinations – 2h 48’ \n\n\n\nYou can also watch the film here at home ahead of the panel conversation \n\n\n\n1.00 – 3.50 pm: Film screenings\, on loop \n\n\n\nAndrea Khora\, Bolus – 4’31” \n\n\n\nPatricia Domínguez\, Matrix Vegetal – 21’ \n\n\n\nRebeca Romero\, Voyager – 5’45” \n\n\n\nSuzanne Treister\, Technoshamanic Systems – 3’26” \n\n\n\nUrsula Biemann\, Forest Mind – 31’ \n\n\n\n4.00 – 5.30pm: panel talk \n\n\n\nHelen Knowles\, artist and researcher \n\n\n\nCatherine Bird\, Clinical Trials Manager \n\n\n\nAndrea Khora\, artist \n\n\n\nWith contributions from Dr Hernando Chindoy Chindoy\, former Inga Community Leader \n\n\n\nBiography of the speakers \n\n\n\nHelen Knowles (b.1975) is an artist and curator of the Birth Rites Collection. She has a BA Hons from Glasgow School of Art and an MA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths University. A former British Council\, Young Creative Entrepreneur\, she has curated and commissioned work for internationally renowned projects\, which include; Oxytocin in collaboration with Procreate Projects\, seven site-specific installations across Guys Campus\, 2019\, BRC Bi-annual competition for New Work at Media CityUK\, The Whitworth Art Gallery and Kings College in 2013/15/17\, ‘Birth Rites’\, Manchester Museum / Glasgow Science Centre\, 2008\, ‘Don’t Cross the line’\, ‘Agitate’ and ‘Radio Halo’ 2000\, a show of eleven site-specific installations at Jodrell Bank Science Centre and Arboretum. Knowles has secured grants from ACE\, The Amateurs Trust\, Awards for All and Millenium UnLtd\, amongst others. \n\n\n\nBook free tickets here! \n\n\n\nCatherine Bird is the Senior Clinical Trials Manager at Psychoactive Trials Group\, Centre for Affective Disorders\, Institute of Psychiatry\, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN). She works in psychedelic research as part of the psilocybin research group at The Institute of Psychiatry\, Psychology and Neuroscience\, King’s College London. \n\n\n\nAndrea Khôra is an artist and researcher based in London. Her practice seeks to comprehend the malleability of reality on personal and societal scales. As a PhD researcher in the Art Department at Goldsmiths\, her practice-led project New Sight: The Alchemy of Surveillance into Resistance in Near Future Worlds\, looks at the history of surveillance\, specifically focusing on the mining of occult knowledge systems by the CIA in the cold war as well as the correlation between the 1960s-1970s utopian countercultures and the rise of Surveillance Capitalism. Through the uncovering of systems and correlations\, she is creating a speculative proposition for the future reclamation of personal and community agency through the creation of sculpture\, writing\, and performance.

SUMMARY:WORKSHOP WITH DIGITAL ARTIST SHINJI TOYA Lives of Your Smartphones
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on workshop uses a website-based version of Lives of Your Smartphones to contextualise the ecological issues of e-waste and planned obsolescence. \n\n\n\nDuring the session\, the participants will produce decaying versions of their smartphone handsets as png images to be uploaded online. The workshop contextualises the materiality of smartphones and their ecological implications to consider how the operation of the current mainstream technological development is harming the environment. The participants will collectively create a toolkit of alternative cosmological and cultural frameworks – this includes the poetic aesthetics of decay to counter the progress narrative of mainstream tech development and the cultural perception associated with Japanese animism and other ideas to think about alternative technologies with empathy and provision of de-anthropocentric views. \n\n\n\nParticipants are required to bring their smartphones. \n\n\n\nThe workshop has been developed with the support of Tanya Boyarkina (Compiler).

SUMMARY:Innovations for a Sustainable Future; AR Interactive Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A brand-new interactive exhibition touching on the fast-evolving digital revolution as well as the pressing challenges faced by our generation. With both Europe and the world undergoing a major technological transformation\, new phenomena such as artificial intelligence are slowly making their way into all aspects of our lives\, from communication to health\, from culture to sustainability. What are the innovations and scientific discoveries shaping our future? \n\n\n\nThe Innovations for a Sustainable Future exhibition seeks to create a dialogue between science\, society\, culture\, and art. Its main aim is to address current global issues and the inevitable role science and new technologies will play in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set up by the United Nations in 2015 as a blueprint for a better\, more sustainable future for all. The 17 SDGs were adopted by all UN member states agreeing to work on\, among other things\, a plan to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger\, achieve gender equality and avert climate threats by 2030. \n\n\n\nThis interactive augmented reality exhibition was artistically rendered by the renowned Czech graphic designer Pavel Fuksa\, drawing from the concept of the successful Czech Innovation Expo which travelled the world presenting Czech scientific discoveries and innovations. The new London exhibition highlights innovations and issues on a European level\, reflecting the higher purpose of science with special emphasis on the means needed to implement the ambitious SGDs. \n\n\n\nHow the Exhibition WorksVisitors will see seemingly static outdoor panels with abstract symbols on the walls. After downloading the exhibition app (available free for Android and iOS)\, they will see the space around them come to life on their devices\, allowing them to explore in a fun and unique way a variety of scientific stories and fascinating information about technological innovations contributing to our sustainable future. \n\n\n\nEXHIBITION WEBSITE \n\n\n\n\nExhibition dates: 14 July – 15 October\n\n\n\nPrivate View: Thursday 13 July 2023\, 6.30-8.30 pmFree\, all welcome\, with complimentary drinks – REGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition was created by the Czech Centres in collaboration with the Czech Technology Agency. Organised by the Czech Centre London in association with the Czech Embassy.

SUMMARY:AI: Prompting Images of Digital Life
DESCRIPTION:With the recent emergence of image-generating AI systems such as DALL-E\, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney\, the task of generating images with computers has been remodelled as a text-based process known as ‘prompting’. \nPrompting involves instructing a pre-trained AI model to hallucinate images in reaction to the specifics of text-based inputs. Prompts dictate image style\, composition and genre to the extent that images generated using these systems often appear as weird pastiches\, with giveaway aesthetic signals – 8-fingered hands\, for example – that point to their artificial origins. \nWorkshop participants will experiment with trying to find the cracks in these systems\, using creative prompting to explore whether these systems really are the dawn of a new horizon\, offering the potential for breakthroughs in digital image-making beyond the offset of human labour. \nParticipants are required to bring their laptops. \nJames Irwin’s bio \nJames Irwin is an Artist\, PhD researcher at Kingston School of Art\, Lecturer at UAL and Digital Media Tutor at the Royal Academy Schools. He works with web technologies\, AI systems and digital sound and image to investigate the notion of a vital life force inherent within digital media. \nBy creating cognitive assemblages – made from a combination of networked digital hardware\, software and human wetware – his work builds from new materialist ideas around recentering the human\, undoing our role as autonomous individuals and pointing to the ways in which the production of subjectivity is offset to forces outside of our bodies; the posthuman is biological\, but also networked and dispersed through machines. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:For Data You Are\, And To Data You Shall Return / 为数据所生，亦归数据而去
DESCRIPTION:For Data You Are\, And To Data You Shall Return is an online exhibition of generative\, video and gamified works exploring diverse perspectives surrounding digital death\, renewal and reincarnation in the virtual domain. Surveying the nuance of long-standing and newer ruminations around the circularity of life and death\, in technological\, bodily\, and spiritual contexts\, the exhibition sees death as a narrative with which to discuss life. Death in the digital world is\, in a particular dimension\, describable\, observable\, and even manufacturable\, as well as manageable and repairable. Life in the digital world is\, on the contrary\, more mysterious. \n\n\n\nThe online exhibition comprises works that span a range of digital media processes and outcomes; from hypnotic encounters with concealed code to custom playful gamifications\, and planetary-scale simulations\, the exhibition presents expanded video practices\, role-playing narratives and reconnection with devices and their material origins\, drawing links between communications across ethers and the encounters of rogue or unknown agents acting on behalf of their meatspace counterparts. Decay\, sites of renewal\, and rethinking our existence in the digital and environmental domain are foregrounded. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition title is a subtle twist on the theological reference in the book of Genesis which infers non-immortality. This concept aligns with the Chinese Buddhist philosophy of “sheng-si-lun-hui\,” which is tied to the idea of karma and its role as social currency in the afterlife. By imbuing the interface with a uniquely generative background – a mystical quality of exposing the underside of codified processes – and by referring to data as the dust you shall return to\, the exhibition seeks to symbolise this continuous cycle of existence of all things. \n\n\n\nAccess the project here.

SUMMARY:Heart of Care - An Installation by Rosetta Life
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis visual arts exhibition is the culmination of a two-year project working with carers\, who are often excluded from cultural activities because of their responsibilities\, Heart of Care is an artwork made up of a series of images with a sound score that will be projected in three public spaces. The artwork will shine a light on the invisible role that carers play in families and communities\, and challenge the perceptions of care in an inclusive society. The images were inspired by the movement workshops and were developed into curated images\, and express the compassion displayed in the role of carer. The artwork will be over 10 metres high and projected over the course of one to two hours\, accompanied by original music composed by Matthew Peters blended with poems written by carers and recorded in their own voices. \n  \nLocations:  \n5pm\, 19th January 2024 \nAncient Market House\, Market Place\, Kingston upon Thames KT1 1JS \nLinskill Centre\, Linskill Terrace\, North Shields NE30 2AY \nBristol Council\, Bristol City Hall\, College Green\, Bristol BS1 5TR

SUMMARY:Algorithmic Unconscious
DESCRIPTION:Algorithmic Unconscious is a group exhibition by UCL BA Media students responding to arebyte’s current artistic focus on The Body\, the Mind\, the Soul\, an exploration of the complex nature of humanity in the realm of technological progress. \n\n\n\nDeveloped with curatorial and production support from arebyte team and UCL tutors\, students present new media projects that examine the impact of digital transformation on the mind\, focusing particularly on unconscious processes such as emotions\, addiction\, and dreaming. \n\n\n\nIn the non-traditional game by Aaron Wang\, anger\, fear\, joy\, and sadness provide the backdrops for quests. Emotions play a crucial role in decision-making\, yet human decisions can veer off course\, leading to addiction when addictive substances are introduced into the game. James Thom‘s installation serves as a cautionary message\, urging us not to press the button of addiction\, even though the only way to explore his work is by pressing the button repeatedly. The generated film 0714 by Ellena-Maria Kappos\, Imogen Adeoye\, Hany Radwan-Radulescu\, Cara McDerment\, and Daisy Lang – reveals how generative algorithms experience dreaming. Meanwhile\, in Dream Diary by Eric Wei\, Stephanie Lin\, and Allison Zhong\, the artists delve into the surreal landscapes of the human mind. In The Epoch’s Elegy\, Artificial Intelligence is portrayed as a malevolent force rather than a creative agent. Through this installation\, Maria Mujib envisions a future marked by environmental degradation and societal collapse as a consequence of AI’s rule. \n\n\n\nThe student’s projects unveil the impact of merging human consciousness with the digital and ethereal realm\, leaving a lasting imprint on internal thought processes\, shaping our perception\, organisation\, and expression. Their works question whether this evolution leads to increased autonomy or deeper entanglement with collective intelligence\, and if humanity’s aspirational concept of collective intelligence is being hindered by a detrimental and numbing collective algorithmic unconscious.

SUMMARY:Areas Of Effect: Planar Systems\, Critical Roles\, and Gaming Imaginaries
DESCRIPTION:*This event has been postponed to 9 March 2024 due to train strikes\, we apologise for any inconvenience caused.*\n\nCurated by artist David Blandy and writer Jamie Sutcliffe in association with Strange Attractor Press\, Areas Of Effect: Planar Systems\, Critical Roles\, and Gaming Imaginaries is a one-day symposium on Tabletop Role Playing Games (TTRPGs) with live game sessions.\n\n\n\n\n\nForming part of arebyte’s programme The Body\, The Mind\, The Soul which questions the complex nature of humanity in the realm of technological progress\, the event brings together artists\, game designers\, theorists\, and philosophers to discuss these wildly expansive forms of play in which players utilise both their imaginations and chance mechanics (such as dice rolls) to determine the actions of fictional characters and the scenarios surrounding them.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe symposium looks at TTRPGs as the physical interface between the body and the imaginary\, addressing the hopes currently instilled in tabletop play to act as a transformative activity. As such\, this form of play presents novel opportunities for immersive experience\, problem solving\, moral dilemma\, but perhaps most importantly\, communal storytelling.\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers at the event include acclaimed RPG designers Emmy Allan\, Kayla Dice\, Mike Mason\, Chris McDowall\, Samuel Mui\, and Zedeck Siew\, alongside writers\, historians and theorists such as Stu Horvath\, Timothy Linward\, Mark Pilkington\, and Simon O’Sullivan.\n\n\n\n\n\nAn exhibition of TTRPGs-inspired video games by artists Kitty Clark\, Uma Breakdown\, John Powell-Jones\, Petra Szemán\, and Holly White are hosted on computers and available to play for visitors throughout the whole event.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe day culminates in live TTRPG play sessions of the games ECOMOFOS!! by artist David Blandy and SUPERZEROES by TTRPG game designer Samuel Mui\, amongst others\, inviting the audience to play with a deck of uniquely designed TTRPG playing cards.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event features a selection of merchandise and publications from Strange Attractor Press and independent London-based bookshop Igloo Tree.\n\n\n\n\n\nRead more about the event here.\n\n\n\n\n\nSymposium programme:\n\n\n\n\n\n11 – 11:15am: INTRODUCTION TO TTRPGS by David Blandy and Jamie Sutcliffe\n\n\n\n\n\nStarting off the symposium\, Jamie and David welcome visitors\, introduce the programme for the day and touch upon the world of TTRPGS.\n\n\n\n\n\n11:15 – 11:45am: ON ROLEPLAYING GAMES by Simon O’ Sullivan\n\n\n\n\n\nArtist and theorist Simon O’Sullivan will begin the symposium with a keynote talk considering the imaginative spaces and practices of role-playing games considered a distinct form of fiction.\n\n\n\n\n\n11:45am – 1pm: BETWEEN HEXCRAWLS AND BIOSPHERES with Holly White\, Zedeck Siew\, David Blandy (chair)\n\n\n\n\n\nExploring the myriad functions of speculative ecology in role-playing environments\, addressing the creation of flora\, fauna and folklore that work to colour and complicate diverse worlds of play in a time of ecological collapse.\n\n\n\n\n\n1:40 – 3pm: FROM ODD PASTS TO GRIMDARK FUTURES with Timothy Linward\, Kayla Dice\, Chris McDowall (chair)\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom privately imagined locales to vast\, communally written mega texts\, this discussion will focus on the process and practice of worldbuilding\, interrogating the various textures of myth and fabulation\, asking to what ends our novel worlds might be put.\n\n\n\n\n\n3 – 3:25pm: MONSTERS\, ALIENS\, AND HOLES IN THE GROUND by Stu Horvath\n\n\n\n\n\nTTRPG historian and co-host of the Vintage RPG Podcast Stu Horvath introduces his landmark new book Monsters\, Aliens\, and Holes In The Ground: A Guide to Tabletop Roleplaying Games From D&D To Mothership\, published in 2023 by the MIT Press.\n\n\n\n\n\n3:35 – 5pm: NAMELESS HORRORS! CREEPING FLESH! with Mike Mason\, Emmy Allen\, Sam Mui\, Mark Pilkington\n\n\n\n\n\nFocusing on the aesthetics\, politics\, and arresting experiences of horror\, this conversation will look to various exercises in the macabre\, horrific\, and supernatural to test role-playing’s capacities for innovative storytelling\, moral quandary\, and new forms of autobiographical fiction.\n\n\n\n\n\n5:15 – 8:30pm: LIVE TTRPG PLAY with David Blandy\, Samuel Mui\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing these insightful talks\, have a go at playing alternative TTRPGs with friends and other visitors! The games will be facilitated by TTRPG experts and game designers.\n\n\n\n\n\nThroughout the entire symposium\, a selection of TTRPG-inspired video games will be free to be played on computers in the gallery. Spanning from ecological utopias to imaginary lives\, see below for the full list of games and their retrospective game designers.\n\n\n\n\n\n***\n\n\n\n\n\nJamie Sutcliffe is a writer\, curator\, and co-director of Strange Attractor Press. His work explores artistic encounters with science fictive fabulation\, the politics of gaming\, animation and its multiple entanglements with developments in the life sciences\, haunted media\, the digital uncanny\, and the persistence of myth\, all understood as technologies of selfhood. He is the editor of Documents of Contemporary Art: Magic\, published by The Whitechapel Gallery and The MIT Press\, and his essays\, reviews\, and interviews have been featured in Art Monthly\, Frieze\, The White Review\, Rhizome\, Art Review\, The Quietus\, Art Agenda\, Bricks From The Kiln\, and IsThisIt\, amongst others. @intron_depot\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Blandy (1976\, UK\, Lives & Works in Brighton) makes work that slips between performance and video\, digital and analogue\, investigating the stories and cultural forces that inform and influence our lives. Collaboration is central to his practice\, examining communal and personal heritage and interdependence. With research spanning multiple forms of archives\, from fandoms to the archive of the body\, historical texts to academic libraries\, archaeology and ecological theory\, twitch streams and film archives\, Blandy weaves poetic works that explore the complexities of the contemporary subject. @david_blandy_\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent made in partnership with Strange Attractor Press and Igloo Tree.

SUMMARY:Seeing Art with the Whole Body - A New Workshop Series by Claire Loussouarn
DESCRIPTION:‘Seeing art with the whole body’\, we will explore how to listen and receive an artist’s artwork\, and world with the three-dimensionality of our sensory bodies. \nFor our first workshop in this series at IMT Gallery we will have the pleasure to dialogue with Fran Hayes’ artwork. Her exhibition Thick\, Stretchy\, Sticky Space features digital paintings and video works that delve into speculative landscapes\, inspired by damaged ecologies\, science-fiction\, and the uncanny; all viewed through a profoundly human lens. \n🪩 For a glimpse of what to expect\, watch Claire’s Moving Meditation via our link in bio. \nClaire Loussouarn is a movement artist and somatic wizard. She’ll bring some of her magic to make you look at artwork from a fresh and new perspective. You will be invited to follow simple movement scores to attune to your senses\, change your perspective through space and challenge our normal default position of focused forward vision. You will learn to trust your body and its subtle felt sense in response to artwork\, letting go of preconceptions about how you should conduct yourself in an art gallery. \n🎟️ ‘Seeing Art with the Whole Body’ will take place on Tuesday 18 June at 7pm. Get your tickets via our link in bio. Tower Hamlets residents attend for FREE! \nSee you there!
