As technological development accelerates, it becomes essential to establish a critical distance that allows a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of technology. This enables to better question its purpose, scale, scope, speed, and material and ecological effects. The program series (un)learning bodies<\/em> will explore how to critically engage with technology while still encouraging a relationship between humans and machines that enables trust, pleasure, and the formation of social connections.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nHow do we regain agency? How do we resist nonconsensual interactions and surveillance of bodies for corporate profit? How do we reckon with technology\u2019s influence on our society?\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWe consider \u00bbunlearning\u00ab as not only questioning ingrained interactions and letting go of outdated knowledge and beliefs, but also creating space for new learnings. This process of \u00bblearning\u00ab involves experimenting with and establishing<\/span> new practices and rituals around digital tools to critically engage with the current discourse. It further welcomes a plurality of knowledge(s) by recognizing and inviting various forms of knowledge production and practice. Emphasizing experience, the program focuses on physical, tangible forms of interaction to reveal insights into and reflections on our present relationship with technology. <\/span>Essentially, this<\/span> means moving the body toward new experiences and unexpected connections.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

Participants are encouraged to engage in an embodied exploration of technology by making, sensing, and doing. The program will explore connections and relationships with technology across several chapters: the practice of engineering as a connector between communities; the practice of threading to understand the principles of computing; examining our relationship with food, changed through social media trends; and exploring the relationship between movement and data-driven technologies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The program is curated by Nata\u0161a Vukajlovi\u0107. With Ren Loren Britton, Sarah Ciston, and Luiza Prado among others.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As we increasingly consume food through content on screens, the realities of food production and its environmental impact have been hidden under digital layers of gold-leaf everything; long, melty strands of cheese; and dramatic reality-TV storylines.\r\nThis talk both examines how ritual and meaning become diluted when food is subsumed to the exclusive role of entertainment, and weaves between the negotiations of our social location, the political economy of food networks, and the status of food as content.\r\n\r\nA poetic lecture by Jasmin Sch\u00e4dler and Joannie Baumg\u00e4rtner<\/strong>\r\nDancing on Oblivion<\/em>\r\n\r\nExploring on the whereabouts and lifespan of moments of unmonitored time in a present that is governed by <\/span>datafied<\/span> decisions<\/span>, artists Jasmin Sch\u00e4dler and Joannie Baumg\u00e4rtner engage in a poetic stream of consciousness to explore the temporal dissociation associated with dance floors and doom scrolling. <\/span>They ponder, sing, sound, and swipe while being served by their feeders \u2013 content is flowing, eyes and ears overlap, layering, blending, challenging a linear <\/span>perception<\/span> of time.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>","program_el_content_img":null}]}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_download","bgcolor":"has-bg-blue","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":8,"download_txt":"Detailed workshop program","download_file":41436},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_cta","bgcolor":"has-bg-blue","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":8,"cta_link":{"type":"url","value":"mailto:digitalsolitude@akademie-solitude.de","title":"","target":true},"cta_txt":"Registration workshops","cta_button_txt":"Send E-Mail"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_sponsors","sponsors":[{"sponsor_name":"In cooperation with:","sponsor_link":"","sponsor_img":33032}]}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/41427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
