IMAGINARY > PROPERTY is a concept that can be read in at least two directions: > property produced by imagination, as well as: images turning into > properties. the bourgeois or modern conception of property has been > characterized by anonymity and pure objectivity. the fundament > of western individualism, often characterized as "possessive > individualism" is the ability to "own" something and "own up" to > something. today, in the age of immaterial production, digital > reproduction, and networked distribution - property relations need to > be made visible in order to be enforced. property exists first of all > as imagery and rapidly becomes a matter of imagination. > > my work on IMAGINARY PROPERTY began more than two years ago when > i came across a sequence of nine seconds news footage taken by > surveillance cameras of the spanish border police in the night of the > 29th september 2005. animated in fast motion these images show how > hundreds of immigrants are climbing with self-made leddars across the > three meter high fences that sorround the spanish enclave of ceuta. in > the following days the news around the globe were gabbling on a "storm > on fortress europe". both, the self-authorized and self-organized > transgression of the border as well as its subsequent scandalization > in the mainstream media refer to a concept of the border that is not > anymore just a demarcation line. it is a border that is performed > through a scandal; it manages its violations rather than ignoring, let > alone preventing, them. > > since the very begining i was intrigued by the question of "ownership" > of these images. not in the trivial sense of possession and copyright, > maybe rather in a sense of: what are these images owning up to? what > does it mean to "own" these images? and what could we learn by this > example about the "future of images"? > > the project at Jan van Eyck will be presented at a symposium on june > 6th, 2008 in Maastricht. invited guest speakers are: anselm franke > (antwerp) and franco berardi bifo (bologna). > > if you have any questions, comments and proposals, please do not > hesitate to contact me. i am looking fwd very much to any form of > collaboration! > > very best, > > florian > > --- > > Call for applications: > IMAGINARY PROPERTY > > Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht > http://www.janvaneyck.nl > > Imaginary Property, a new research project of the Design department, > initiated by Florian Schneider, aspires to explore new potentials > for design practices across various registers.

The analytical part will start off with > a symposium (on 6 June) that shows the scope of the project and its > impact on contemporary design practices. The symposium will bring > about an interview and lecture series in which guest speakers partake. > > The second part consists of a series of evaluations and examinations > of experimental design, counter-design or re-design > projects. open-source and free circulation of networked images will > be developed > and realized. Supposing that images are the products of struggles > for imagination, this part examines in a practical way how social > relationships are configured, designed and performed in connection > with the images that are supposed to be owned, used and displayed as > one's property. > > Imaginary Property deals with the imagination and the redrawing > of social relationships with people who could also use and enjoy > images, modify or alter images, play images or play with images. Is > it possible, practically and conceptually, to (reverse) engineer > imaginary property? How to show highly valuable images and > visualize processes modulations, modifications and unpredictable > proliferation? Can a > museum redesign a show and make it or even parts of its collection > freely accessible through the digital public domain? Is it possible > for a political campaign to go fully open > source? How can such a public release be realized and what would it > actually look like? > > Thirdly, the results of the analytical part and the examinations will > be documented more or less in real-time and made accessible on a > multimedia website. The idea is further to make a publication in print > as well as a collaborative, networked video project. > > The research project Imaginary Property is looking for design > practitioners who wish to tackle fundamental issues and query > conventions of disciplines such as film, multimedia, web design, > networking and architecture. It further seeks to involve theory-minded > researchers who are not afraid of an image. > > Symposium: 6 June 2008, 4 PM Speakers: Franco Berardi, Anselm Franke, > Florian Schneider > > Candidates interested in this project can apply with a research > proposal.
