    Technics, Precarity and Exodus in Rave Culture

    29 Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture • vol 1 no 2 Technics, Precarity and Exodus in Rave Culture TOBIAS C. VAN VEEN MCGILL UNIVERSITY Abstract Without a doubt, the question of rave culture’s politics – or lack thereof – has polarized debate concerning the cultural, social and political value of rave culture not only within electronic dance music culture (EDMC) studies, but in disciplines that look to various manifestations of subculture and counterculture for political innovation. It is time for the groundwork of this debate to be rethought. Ask not what rave culture’s politics can do for you; nor even what you can do for it. Rather, ask what the unexamined account of politics has ever done for anyone; then question all that rave culture has interrogated – from its embodied and technological practices to its production of ecstatic and collective subjectivities – and begin to trace how it has complicated the very question of the political, the communal and the ethical. This complication begins with the dissolution of the boundaries of labour and leisure and the always-already co-optation of culture. To the negation of ethics, community and politics, this tracing calls for the hauntology of technics, precarity and exodus. And it ends with a list of impossible demands demonstrating the parallax gap of rave culture’s politics. Keywords exodus, precarity, technics, multitude, workplay He [Randy] predicted the [rave] parties will eventually disappear under the combined pressure of police, city and fire officials. “In the next year and a half it’s going to vanish”, he said. “Then, when they think it’s gone, it will come back, becoming more underground again”.

  • Spaces to Fail In: Negotiating Gender, Community and Technology in Algorave

    Spaces to Fail In: Negotiating Gender, Community and Technology in Algorave

    Spaces to Fail in: Negotiating Gender, Community and Technology in Algorave Feature Article Joanne Armitage University of Leeds (UK) Abstract Algorave presents itself as a community that is open and accessible to all, yet historically, there has been a lack of diversity on both the stage and dance floor. Through women- only workshops, mentoring and other efforts at widening participation, the number of women performing at algorave events has increased. Grounded in existing research in feminist technology studies, computing education and gender and electronic music, this article unpacks how techno, social and cultural structures have gendered algorave. These ideas will be elucidated through a series of interviews with women participating in the algorave community, to centrally argue that gender significantly impacts an individual’s ability to engage and interact within the algorave community. I will also consider how live coding, as an embodied techno-social form, is represented at events and hypothesise as to how it could grow further as an inclusive and feminist practice. Keywords: gender; algorave; embodiment; performance; electronic music Joanne Armitage lectures in Digital Media at the School of Media and Communication, University of Leeds. Her work covers areas such as physical computing, digital methods and critical computing. Currently, her research focuses on coding practices, gender and embodiment. In 2017 she was awarded the British Science Association’s Daphne Oram award for digital innovation. She is a current recipient of Sound and Music’s Composer-Curator fund. Outside of academia she regularly leads community workshops in physical computing, live coding and experimental music making. Joanne is an internationally recognised live coder and contributes to projects including laptop ensemble, OFFAL and algo-pop duo ALGOBABEZ.

Introduction Recent decades have seen a growth in travel and tourism abroad because of cheap air fares and holiday packages. This has been accompanied by a relaxation of border controls, especially within parts of Europe participating in the Schengen Agreement. As some people may be more inclined to use illicit substances during holiday periods and some may even choose to travel to destinations that are associated with drug use — a phenomenon sometimes referred to as ‘drug tourism’ — this means that from a European drug policy perspective the issue of drug use and travel has become more important. This Thematic paper examines travellers and drug use, with a focus on Europeans travelling within Europe, although some other relevant destinations are also included.

A Festival of Artistic Research (Graz, 5–7 October 2017) Artistic research is currently a much-talked about and highly innovative field of know- ledge creation which combines artistic with academic practice. One of its central features is ambitious artistic experiments exploring musical and other questions, systematically bringing them into dialogue with reflection, analysis and other academic approaches. ARTikulationen, a two-and-a-half day festival of artistic research that has been running under that name since 2016, organised by the Artistic Doctoral School (KWDS) of the Uni- versity of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG), expands the pioneering format deve- loped by Ulf Bästlein and Wolfgang Hattinger in 2010, in which the particular moment of artistic research – namely audible results, which come about through a dynamic between art and scholarship that is rooted in methodology – becomes something the audience can understand and experience. In Alfred Brendel, Georg Friedrich Haas and George Lewis, the festival brings three world- famous and influential personalities and thinkers from the world of music to Graz as key- note speakers. George Lewis will combine his lecture with a version of his piece for soloist and interactive grand piano. The presentations at ARTikulationen encompass many different formats such as keynotes, lecture recitals, guest talks, poster presentations and a round table on practices in artistic research.
