Symposium & Public Presentations
with formations/RYBN.ORG/Hood
23. – 27. NOVEMBER 2016
How and where do alternative realities come about both in and between different fields of knowledge? How can we productively uncover contradictory “rift zones” in today’s world? What kind of frameworks for action can we cultivate?
4-day symposium with extensive interdisciplinary exchange
30 participants (artists, scientists and experts from other varied fields)
3 one-day workshops with 3 artist collectives
IMPACT16 is aimed at artists and advanced students, practitioners and theoreticians from the natural and social sciences, technology, architecture and urban planning, philosophy, political activism, as well as from the visual and performance arts.
With the artist collectives:
FORMATIONS (DE), a transversal working group consisting of practitioners from the arts, philosophy, human geography, computational biology, yoga, urban design et al., aiming at practical responses to the insufficiency of modern categories of thought and their disciplinary and institutional sedimentations,
RYBN.ORG (FR), an extra-disciplinary artistic research platform, leading long term investigations within the territories of high-frequency markets, algorithms and automated procedures, occult and kabbalistic traditions, the economization of semantics, language, architecture and urban planning,
HOOD (DE), comprising former performers from the Forsythe Company, the artist collective HOOD considers how contemporary art and performance can be utilized to reevaluate normative positions in the world or to initiate new practices for creating art, producing knowledge or taking social and political action.
