Raft of Incoming, A
Greta Adorni was born in Milan where she graduated in Philosophy and continued her studies with an MA in Curatorial Practices at the Brera Academy. At Birkbeck, she completed her MA in History of Art, which gave her the opportunity to combine philosophical theoretical frameworks with memory and trauma studies. This article is the result of her MA dissertation [email protected] / __________________________________________ This article intends to look at the ways in which three works of art have attempted to deal with the issue of representation and mediation of the refugee crisis. 1 Rather than delving into historical or political discourses surrounding this humanitarian crisis, this article will analyse three works of contemporary art: Fuocoammare (Gianfranco Rosi, 2016), Raft of Lampedusa (Jason deCaires Taylor, 2016) and Incoming (Richard Mosse, 2017) mostly through the spectrum of Professor at UNSW National Institute for Experimental Arts and curator Jill Bennett’s theory of ‘empathic vision’ and ‘transactive art’. Political Philosopher Giorgio Agamben’s notions ‘bare life’ and the ‘Muselmann’ will also be regarded as crucial to an empathic visual engagement with art. These theories have the purpose of injecting new approaches to the idea of ‘breathing through the medium’ as a way of activating representations, and thereby maintaining the meaningfulness of representations of refugees. The three works were selected for their alternative approach to the representation and utilization of the art medium. I will analyse Incoming, a documentary made by Richard Mosse in collaboration with Ben Frost and Trevor Tweeten and screened for the first time at the Curve Gallery, at the Barbican Centre in London from 15 February to 23 April 2017. -
Anita Kocsis Doctor of Philosophy School of Media Arts Icinema Centre for Interactive
Co-Designing New Media Spaces Candidate: Anita Kocsis Doctor of Philosophy School of Media Arts iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema Research University of New South Wales 2010 1 Abstract Human centred design is a design philosophy that places the human at the centre of any design program. It engages in co-design practices that rely on participatory collaboration between designer and stakeholders. This thesis investigates how making meaning in digitally augmented exhibitions can satisfy the objectives of designers and content providers through the use of human centred design principles. It contends that a reflective analysis of collaborative design processes can improve stakeholder relations and meet the diverse needs and interests of audience members. New media museum exhibits position designers to represent the research of expert content providers. However differing stakeholder visions can turn collaborative design into an incoherent, competitive process in which audience experience, digital mediation, visualisation techniques and the meaning of the work become contested territory. In this thesis two key concepts, “brokering by design”, and the audience experience, are proposed as central to understanding and improving collaborative digital design. Firstly, “brokering by design” can resolve conceptual differences where a design impasse between stakeholders (such as curator, artist, designer, historian, scientist, museum staff) presents itself. Secondly, a study of the audience experience in the digital exhibition makes visible hitherto unseen levels of social interaction and profound experiential aspects. Two Case Studies serve as the analytic foundation of this thesis and assist to address the twofold purpose of this thesis. These are: (a) the problems in the design process and; (b) the reception of the resulting exhibition by the audience. -

Telephone Calls in Gianfranco Rosi's Fire at Sea (Fuocoammare, 2016)
Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media no. 17, 2019, pp. 12–23 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33178/alpha.18.02 Telephone Calls in Gianfranco Rosi’s Fire at Sea (Fuocoammare, 2016) Emma Wilson Abstract: The Hollywood Reporter feature on Gianfranco Rosi’s Fire at Sea (Fuocoammare, 2016) reads: “Where journalism leaves off, Fire at Sea begins”. The director spent months living alone on Lampedusa looking for ways to film the current refugee tragedy in the Mediterranean. The poetic film that he made (and that won the Golden Bear at Berlin) is an indirect reckoning with its subject, and, I argue no less political for this. Referring to the work of Adriana Cavarero, Christina Sharpe, Anne Dufourmantelle and Judith Butler, this article explores the uses of recorded telephone calls and other transmitted voices and songs in the film. These calls and voices offer forms of appeal and aural, non-visual, but bodily, affective traces. The film emphasises the political importance of listening, and of attending to these calls and voices, envisaging a mesh of connectedness, of threads of human attachment. You don’t know who’s calling or what you are going to be called upon to do, and still, you are lending your ear, giving something up, receiving an order. It is a question of answerability. (Ronell 2) (1) On 30 March 2016, a man in the Marconi district in Rome, Gianni Brusadelli, was woken at six in the morning by telephone calls, voices speaking in English and French, over the sounds of the wind and a boat motor. -

1 Mediterranean Aesthetics and the Visual Culture of African
1 Mediterranean Aesthetics and the Visual Culture of African Migration in Contemporary Italy Diego Alejandro Atehortúa “We have been sailing for years We’ve been traveling for years We’ve been drowning for years.” -Dagmawi Yimer, Asmat, 2015 Coinciding with the Information Age and post-Cold War globalization, a proliferation of images showing humans from Africa embarking on turbulent and often deadly maritime crossings, have transformed a liquid Mediterranean Sea into a necropolitical borderland imbued with competing symbols and sensibilities regarding who and what constitute Italy’s Mediterranean imaginary.1 How then, does a hegemonic and romanticized image of the Mediterranean––created partly by the prevailing discourse of modern/colonial aesthetics and perpetuated by an increasing nationalist rhetoric––come under threat when probing into the notion of blackness and Italy’s geopolitical centrality in Mediterranean migration?2 In 2017, photographs and videos showing the illegal auctioning of people in North Africa, a vital intermediary region for migrants and refugees entering the European Union via the Italian peninsula and its surrounding islands like Lampedusa, provoke considering a contemporary and historical Mediterranean dimension to Saidiya Hartman’s theorization of the “afterlife of 1Here, ‘imaginary’ follows Benedict Anderson’s understanding of a nation as an “imagined political community,” in order to consider the Mediterranean Sea’s geopolitical and symbolic importance for the making of Italy’s own construction of a nation. See Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism (London, New York: Verso, 1983), 6. The relationship between the making of an Italian state and the question of race and racism has been traced since the Unification period during the late nineteenth century and the first World War in the early twentieth century by Rhiannon Welch in Vital Subjects: Race and Biopolitics in Italy (Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, 2016). -
