Collective Sisyphus draws a straight line between Fish Story (1989–95), one of his better-known photographic essays, and his last work project Ship of Fools / The Dockers’ Museum (2010–13). Along this trajectory, we findDeep Six / Passer au bleu (1996/98) and the film Lottery of the Sea (2006). In all of them Sekula laments the loss of the sea due to a global economy that favors a connected world.

  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas

    Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas

    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Judith Barry: untitled: (Global Displacement: nearly 1 in 100 people…) On View: January 17, 2018- June 27, 2018 Artist rendering on the Anne H. Fitzpatrick Facade BOSTON, MA (Dec. 2017) – For her forthcoming installation on the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s Anne H. Fitzpatrick Façade, American born artist Judith Barry explored hundreds of drone images circulating the internet that depict people fleeing their homes and seeking a new life elsewhere. Her installation, untitled: (Global Displacement: nearly 1 in 100 people worldwide are displaced from their homes. Source: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/10/05/key-facts-about-the-worlds- refugees/), is a collage of asylum seekers from around the world in an inflatable boat and will be on view beginning Jan. 17. “These images shot by drones are poignant reminders of the trust and hope that, even in the most dire circumstances, abiding human qualities remain”, says Barry. “Looking up, these asylum seekers greet the effortlessly hovering drone with a mixture of relief and elation – even though the drone is unmanned and not human, and even though the resulting encounter is no guarantee of a rescue or of entry into another country.” “There are hundreds of these images circulating on-line,” says Pieranna Cavalchini, Curator of Contemporary Art. “The refugee crisis is on-going and shows no sign of abating. For so many of these people, there is still no place that will welcome them. The crisis exists in this country, as well, as we witness the countless natural disasters displacing residents from their homes.” In thinking about a façade project for the Gardner Museum, the artist was struck by its shape.
  • Flow, Process, Fold: Intersections in Bioinformatics and Contemporary Architecture

    Flow, Process, Fold: Intersections in Bioinformatics and Contemporary Architecture

    FLOW, PROCESS, FOLD: INTERSECTIONS IN BIOINFORMATICS AND CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE Timothy Lenoir and Casey Alt History of Science Program Stanford University This paper traces shared terms –– metaphors –– in two registers of discourse, bioinformatics and architecture, with the goal of teasing out the mutually informing contexts of each. We are becoming immersed in a growing repertoire of computer-based media for creating, distributing, and interacting with digitized versions of the world. Computer-mediated communication has already been significant in biology and medicine. In this essay we want to juxtapose several developments –– not all of them integrally connected –– in fields of computational biology, bioinformatics, robotics, and computer-aided design, which are significant for other areas in which computers have begun to mediate processes of work and creativity. We are particularly concerned with architects' engagement with information technology in their own work. Oft-noted features of the growth of computer-mediated forms of work and communication –– particularly evident in the biomedical areas with which we are concerned – are the acceleration of nearly every aspect of design and production, along with the high degree of both modularity and adaptability of processes. IT workers have responded to the explosion of data created by digital technology by generating dynamic systems for facilitating the information flow, replacing static forms with fluid architectures for extracting meaning. We want to suggest ways in which some architects are using information technology to address critical contemporary issues of philosophical, ethical, and social concern. Many have found philosophical resonance in the writings of Deleuze and Guattari, particularly in their effort to displace key modernist notions of difference as other, lack, or negative, with difference as a positive source.

    Simon Penny Professor, Electronic Art and Design Department of Art, University of California, Irvine Resume April 2018 Simon Penny is an Australian artist, researcher, scholar and teacher whose work over 40 years has focused on the intersection between electronic/digital systems and embodied and materially engaged practices. This work has taken the form of technical R+D for innovative systems directed at embodied interactive experiences, culminating in new interactive art forms. He has published extensively on interactive and media art, has edited volumes, curated and produced exhibitions and directed and produced major conferences. Penny curated and produced Machine Culture - the first international survey of interactive installation- at SIGGRAPH 93 in Anaheim, CA - and edited the associated catalog and anthology. He edited the anthology Critical Issues in Electronic Media (SUNY Press 1995). He has spoken widely on Digital Cultural Practices around the world. His essays have been published in seven languages. Documentation and publications at simonpenny.net. His critical analysis of computer culture and AI engages phenomenology, cognitive science and philosophy of mind, anthropology and cognitive archeology. His current theoretical focus is on application of post-cognitivist theories of cognition to theorisation of art, design and cultural practices. This work culminated in the publication of Making Sense – Cognition, Computing, Art and Embodiment (MIT press 2017). In 2014, he began a new major project Orthogonal – the construction of an experimental 30’ (10m) asymmetrical outrigger sailcraft based in the design and dynamics of Micronesian voyaging canoes. The slogan of Orthogonal is design, build, sail, with a dash of anthropology. sites.uci.edu/orthogonal He teaches (and has taught) in a wide range of modalities, from studio/shop/lab classes (Gizmology and Kinetics, Mechatronic Art) to STS-oriented historical classes (From Steam to Steampunk – 200 years of Technoculture) to graduate seminars in Embodied cognition and the Arts.

This book challenges the canonical interpretation of two of the most revered institutions in the history of modern architecture—the Werkbund and the Bauhaus—and presents a critical interpretation of the relationship between modern architecture and luxury, which first appeared a generation ago. Keywords: architecture; design; luxury; AEG; Werkbund; Bauhaus; Germany; modernism Luxury and Modernism: Architecture and the Object in Germany 1900–1933 challenges the canonical interpretation of two of the most revered institutions in the history of modern architecture—the Werkbund and the Bauhaus—and presents a critical interpretation of the relationship between modern architecture and luxury, which first appeared a generation ago. In the founding documents of the modern movement, architecture and luxury were framed as irreconcilable opposites. To be modern was to reject ornament—the traditional aesthetic signifier of social status (Veblen [1899] 1994; Sombart [1913] 1967; Massey 2004). Cheapened by thoughtless application, ornament was seen as wasteful and excessive—a superfluous excrescence to be sloughed off through purifying processes of subtraction and elimination. Framed in terms of social evolution, to take pleasure in ornament was evidence of a primitive or retarded stage of racial development (Loos [1908] 1970; Muthesius [1903] 1994).

The exhibition title is a reference to the figure of Okeanos – the son of Gaia, the mythical goddess of the earth – who ruled over the oceans and water. His aquatic perspective – from and of the oceans – represents a shift of focus that counters the terrestrial narratives of even the most advanced contemporary discourses on the environment. Drawing from the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21) collection, the exhibition features a selection of seminal works from Sekula’s multi-faceted oeuvre. Three chapters from Sekula’s magnum opus “Fish Story” evocatively document maritime spaces and the effects of globalization. By describing shifting labor locations and relations, complexities of containerization, shipping logistics and economic pressures, “Fish Story” weaves observations of global socio-political and economic configurations and explores histories of the seas. Other important works featured in the exhibition include two films: “Tsukiji” 2001, and “Lottery of the Sea” 2006, as well as photographic works from Sekula’s series “Black Tide / Marea negra” 2002–03: “Large and small disasters” (Islas Cíes and Bueu, 12-20-02), 2002–2003 and “Self-portrait” (Lendo, 12-22-02), 2002–03.
