Performance Human-Computer Counter-Choreographies
No full textHuman-Computer Counter-Choreographies (HCCC) is a performance that combines live coding with choreographic methods to expose online tracking on stage. It uses custom-made programming scripts and a modified version of the DuckDuckGo privacy extension, an open-source tool that monitors online tracking, to make trackers visible and audible on stage. Throughout the performance, the audience is encouraged to participate by following a sequence of choreographic prompts embodying various aspects of online tracking, such as fingerprinting and profiling

Towards a Life-Conducive System Reset for Textile Colouring
Get PDFHow can new bio-informed textile colouring practices participate in the process of regenerating our soils, our oceans and our biodiversity? We are on the cusp of a colour revolution in the textile sector. Two key factors are driving this change. First the relatively recent emergence of biodesign – the integration of biological tools in the design process – is expanding our approach to colouring textiles. Secondly, an increased understanding of the environmental impact of the fashion and textile industry is fast stimulating radical innovations. There is a rise in start- ups developing disruptive nature-positive colourants made with microbes, algae and biomass waste. Whilst for millenia, we have solely relied on using natural ingredients derived from plants, minerals, soil, metals and insects to pattern fabrics, the twentieth century advancement in oil-based chemistry has established the prevalence of synthetic dyes harmful to life. Today a whole new landscape of possibilities is opening up with the development of alternative bio-informed dye technologies. Some of these techniques rely on fermentation, bio-assemblage or bio-engineering. Understanding their ecological contribution and limitation is critical in the context of our planetary emergency. This chapter proposes a framework centered on living systems thinking to position bio-colouring processes in relation to life-conducive environmental and ethical principles
Object, Use, Index: Archives in and of Artists’ Moving Images
Get PDFOnline talk for Yale Architecture Gallery as part of the events series for the exhibition 'A Marvellous Entanglement' by artist Isaac Julien.
London-based researcher Claire M. Holdsworth, lecturer at the University of the Arts London (UAL), draws from her experiences working in artists’ and other private collections, including those of Isaac Julien. Considering how experimental film and video works made in the UK since the 1970s have critiqued history, Holdsworth responds to Julien’s multichannel film installation Lina Bo Bardi—A Marvellous Entanglement (2019). The talk traces queer and decolonial aesthetics, examining how this work enacts complex dialogues between sounded and visualized materials, the past and the present, and what this means for artwork/artist archives and the institutions that house them
A Research Journey through Pictures, Postcards, Objects and Words
Get PDFExhibition in Chelsea libraries highlighting a series of research projects.
This small selection of works represents some of the material evidence from a series of research projects that Coldwell has engaged in over the last fifteen years. Each project has had as its starting point, a particular site and collection. These have included the house at Kettle’s Yard and the Scott Polar Research Institute (both located in Cambridge), the Freud Museums in both Vienna and London, the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art in London, the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo and the Sir John Soane’s Museum in London. The intention is to highlight the role of practice within Coldwell’s research and bring to the fore ideas and themes that have crossed over between projects. Paul Coldwell is Professor in Fine Art at CCW
Abstraction, Activism, and Collective Endeavour Daniel Sturgis on the Casablanca Art School at TATE St Ives
Get PDFA particular politics of abstraction figure centrally in the current show at Tate St Ives: those formulated by the members of the Casablanca Art School. Established after Morocco’s independence in 1956, the school was led by professors who brought with them an international network that they continued to build, thereby interweaving practices from different regions and times with the aim of transforming the Western institution of the art academy. Original works as well as archival materials introduce a British audience to this locally grounded and transnationally connected modernism for the first time.
