workshop: figure-figure ground-ground
dinamizado por: CADA, +infos(LINK)
da apresentação surge:
“Day 1: Man/machine dichotomy: how the current atomisation within the data sphere leads to a digital environment with too little context (figure-figure), how digital media do not give enough relevance to evolution and history. In contrast, we explain how the numerous modernist and avant-garde movements have sought to privilege the background/context. Short presentations of the participants’ work.
Day 2: Analysis of ‘The Laws of Form’ by George Spencer Brown, a mathematician who sought the integral whole; his main argument is that the integral whole is not given: it is achieved, it is a performative act (“ground-ground”). Comparison between different concepts of experience.Pair formation and practical exercise: the task is to make versions of each other’s work, i.e. to find each other’s artwork and use it as a starting point for a new interpretation of the same experience. Brief recap of the theory covered.Practical work – development and presentation to the group.Feedback sessions, analysis of the results and group reflection.”
