Contingent Agencies: Cross-Disciplinary Symposium, 19-25 September 2022
We all live in and with atmospheres. We all inhabit worlds that appear to us first and foremost in a perceptual and emotional way. We all perform our lives in and with atmospheres.
The artistic research project Contingent Agencies explores the coming-to-be of atmospheres. The fundamental hypothesis of this inquiry is that atmospheres are all-over, non-objectual presences that arise by virtue of the entanglement of contingent agencies - the agencies of the human and non-human, living and non-living components of the situations in which atmospheres appear.
In this symposium, a cross-disciplinary group of researchers addresses this complex subject matter as well as the specific research methodology developed in this project, based on practices of notation and reflection in diverse media.
Participant researchers are Karen Barad, Arno Boehler, Emma Cocker, Gerhard Dirmoser, Mika Elo, Tim Ingold, Sabina Holzer, Paula Kramer, Lambros Malafouris, Erin Manning, Dieter Mersch, Hans Jörg Rheinberger, and Andreas Spiegl, together with the principal investigators Nikolaus Gansterer and Alex Arteaga and the head of the Zentrum Fokus Forschung Alexander Damianisch.
All public lectures, panel discussions and public showings are admission free and can be attended in person at Zentrum Fokus Forschung or simultaneously via live streaming on RU-vid.
