As part of the Dutch Electronic Art Festival (www.deaf07.nl), V2_ presents:
DEAF07 Symposium: Interact or Die! The Search for a Living Art
The symposium will discuss the ways organization and structure come
about, and become effective, through interaction within networks. We
will consider this question from artistic, architectonic, social,
political, biological and cognitive perspectives. The program, to be
held at Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAi) at April 14, will be as
follows:
- On Bioconstructivism
11:00 - 12:00: Detlef Mertens (professor and chair, department of
Architecture, University of Pennsylvania, USA)
- On the Aesthetics of Variation
12:00 - 13:00: Lars Spuybroek (professor and chair, department of
Architecture, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA)
- Lunch break
13:00 - 14:00
- On Energy and Information
14:00 - 15:00: Howard Caygill (professor, department of Cultural
History, Goldsmiths College, University of London),
- On Public Involvement in Politics and Technological Societies
15:00 - 16:00: Noortje Marres (research fellow, department of sociology,
Goldsmiths College, University of London)
- On Interactive Public Art Works
16:00 - 17:00: Jeanne van Heeswijk (artist)
- Informal chat with the speakers
17:00 - 18:00
Interaction is a defining characteristic of every living being. Bodies
and objects build connections, form networks, and then, through
interaction, achieve organization, structure, memory and heredity. The
only selection criterion for interaction is whether it works, that is,
whether it is operational. Interactivity is on the other hand both a
method of bringing something into being – a form, a structure, an
organization, a body, an institute, a work of art – and on the other
hand a way of dealing with it.
