Kunst nach der Arbeit: Die Kollektiven Aktionen und die ‚leere Handlung‘
No full textThis article addresses the relationship between artistic knowledge and employed work through the example of the Moscow-based Collective Actions group. In order to reflect on the specific social context of their artistic production, especially the time away from work, the term ‘art after work’ is introduced. The extensive production of knowledge and information by Collective Actions has had a significant impact on Moscow Conceptualism more broadly. However, if this is considered in the context of free time after work, then it can be argued that the art of the Collective Actions group goes far beyond the ‘aesthetics of administration’ ascribed to Conceptual Art and to Moscow Conceptualism
An den Rändern. Rahmen, Schwellen und Grenzen der Fernsehserie
No full textSpätestens seit der Ausrufung der neuen TV-Avantgarde der Nullerjahre ist die Fernsehserie auch im deutschsprachigen akademischen Diskurs angekommen. Vielfältige Untersuchungen widmen sich dem spezifisch Seriellen der TV-Serie, neuen Narrationsformen, stilistischen Besonderheiten, neuen Produktions- und Vertriebswegen und veränderten Rezeptionsformen. Die vorliegende Analyse kann auf diese Arbeiten zurückgreifen und schlägt zugleich einen anderen Weg ein: eine Annäherung an die Serie über den »Rand«. Unter »Rand« wird ein umfassendes Untersuchungskonzept verstanden, das Theoretisierungen zu Rahmen und »framing«, zu Schwelle und Übergang sowie zu Grenze und Peripherie integriert. Den Zugang über den Rand legt das serielle Konstrukt selbst nahe: Ob mathematische, literarische, künstlerische oder TV-Serie, ihre Zusammensetzung aus mehreren Teilen und ihre potenziell unendliche Ausdehnung führen dazu, dass das Ganze der Serie immer prekär und wandelbar ist, beschworen und zusammengehalten werden muss. Diese Eigenschaften lenken den Blick auf die rahmende Ordnung, die Gestaltung der Schwellen und Zugänge zur Serie, die Bestimmung der Grenzen der potenziell unendlichen Serie sowie der Lücken zwischen den einzelnen Teilen. Die Arbeit geht von der These aus, dass diese Beschaffenheit der Serie dazu führt, dass sie über ihre Ränder definiert ist: Der Rand wird zum Kern der Serie. Dieser vermeintlichen Paradoxie geht die Arbeit nach. Sie zeigt, wie verschiedene serielle Ränder beschaffen sind, was ihre Leistung für die Serie ist und wie der serielle Rand als ›Erkenntnisgenerierer‹ funktioniert
No-Win Situation Exhibition Catalog
No full textNo-Win Situation is an interdisciplinary exhibition, which took place from May 14th to May 16th 2021 in the Treptower Ateliers. Students, lecturers and alumni from the Universität der Künste Berlin showed their works.
In response to the current situation and beyond, the participants tried to find new forms and ways to approach media that can do justice to the fast-paced character of a human-made downfall. That is what we call "the pessimistic view“: The internet creates a network that is no longer comprehensible. Nature is burdened until the consequences harm the humankind itself. The market creates dynamics that no one can control. Regardless of the Covid-19 pandemic, there are more than enough reasons to be pessimistic about the world.
Spatial sculptures encountered sound installations, machines met performance, virtual realty came across Readymade.
The exhibition catalog tries to link various artistic and creative positions. In terms of design, the question arises to what extent it is possible to reproduce new media but also to interpret them in a documentary print publication – a search for the best way to transport the essence of an artwork, especially when it has more to it than a visual part. The individual artwork is presented in a unique layout, approaching every work with a different design concept which is asking for the right visual language to communicate what is important
Ideathek
No full textWhat does the digitization and mediatization of space mean for our physical and virtual knowledge spaces. How can architectural and interface design promote innovation and creativity through their spatial configurations and protocols? Which new approaches need to be deployed so that complexity is created instead of reduced
Stateless State. Marginale Bewegungen, Handlungsformen des Fiktionalen und Politischen in Eric Baudelaires Letters to Max
No full textLilian Haberer untersucht hier ausgehend von Henri Levèbres Raumtheorie der 1970er Jahre exemplarisch anhand des Filmes Letters to Max (2014) von Eric Baudelaire filmische und künstlerische Repräsentationsformen geografischer Ränder. Dabei geht sie der Frage nach, wie sich die Vorstellung eines Staates durch Wahrnehmung und (historisches) Wissen konstituiert und rückt die Verflechtung fiktionaler und politischer Handlungsformen in den Blick
Sohn-Rethel’s Critique of Epistemology and Art
No full textThis essay attempts to draw out the implications of Alfred Sohn-Rethel’s Intellectual and Manual Labour for the consideration of art. This is not something Sohn-Rethel intended or invited, but the aim here is to proceed immanently: by simply extending his critique of Kant’s epistemology to Kant’s aesthetics. The result is a critique of Kant’s influential account of aesthetic experience and art as an ideological form of commodity exchange abstraction
GENETIC LOCALIZATION OF SEMANTIC PROTOTYPES FOR MULTICLASS RETRIEVAL OF DOCUMENTS
No full textThe paper presents a novel method of multiclass classification. The method combines the notions of dimensionality reduction and binarization with notions of category prototype and evolutionary optimization. It introduces a supervised machine learning algorithm which first projects documents of the training corpus into low-dimensional binary space and subsequently uses canonical genetic algorithm in order to find a constellation of prototypes with highest classificatory pertinence. Fitness function is based on a cognitively plausible notion that a good prototype of a category C should be as close as possible to members of C and as far as possible to members associated to other categories. In case of classification of documents contained in a 20-newsgroup corpus into 20 classes, our algorithm seems to yield better results than a comparable deep learning "semantic hashing" method which also projects the semantic data into 128-dimensional binary (i.e. 16-byte) vector space
Power Consumption of Diverse Speech Command Classification Methods on the Raspberry Pi Zero
No full textAbstract. This study compares performance of different speech com-
mand classification systems which can be executed on an Raspberry
Pi Zero ARMv6 architecture. Three systems are evaluated: first one,
TREELITE_MFCC, is based on Treelite system cross-compiles a MFCC-
classifying Random Forest into a highly optimized shared library; second,
TFLITE_MFCC, performs classification of MFCC inputs by means of
convolutional neural network encoded as a lightweight TensorFlow Lite
model while the third one - labeled as TFLITE_RAW - uses more com-
plex network to directly classify the audio signal. We evaluate models
not only in terms of their accuracy and precision, but also in terms of
execution time, voltage, current and energy consumed. We observe that
while TFLITE_RAW offers superior performance in terms of accuracy,
TREELITE_RAW is also worth of consideration for low-latency real-
life applications since it offers relatively good performance (avg. micro-
precision=0.917) but its predictions, when executed on Raspberry Pi
Zero, are significantly faster and cost less energy than TensorFlow Lite
