Non-knowledge, Laughter & The Moving Image HFBK Seminar Sose22

Di 11.00 - 13.00 (Raum 11 Le, digital: BBB)

In this seminar we will examine the moving image and the laughing body’s potential to overturn our habitual course and change the order of things. We will look into situations in where bodies, images and sounds speak through unstable and unforeseen movements and encounters. How is this relevant today in a time with big data and algorithms? Like the sudden invasion of laughter that for a moment sets us off course, it explores ways in which we, organisms, bodies, technologies and environments communicate beyond instrumental language, subjectivity and reason, to experience what moving images and bodies can do and how they can teach us about the limits of our thinking. The seminar includes excursions, practical moments, screenings, and discussions, together and with invited guests.

Chto Delat, Canary Archive (2022)
I sometimes wondered what the use of any of the arts was. The best thing I could come up with was what I call the canary in the coal mine theory of the arts. This theory says that artists are useful to society because they are so sensitive. They are super-sensitive. They keel over like canaries in poison coal mines long before more robust types realize that there is any danger whatsoever.” Kurt Vonnegut Quoted by the artist group Chto Delat

31 May 2022, 11.00 (Room 11)

Screening of Trace Evidence, Susan Schuppli, 53’, UK, 2016,

Trace Evidence (2016)
The Trace Evidence video trilogy explores the geological, meteorological, and hydrological appearance of nuclear evidence secreted within the molecular arrangement of matter. It focuses upon three events: the unearthing of ancient nuclear reactors in Oklo in 1972; the discovery of Chernobyl’s airborne contaminates in Sweden in April 1986; and the 7600-kilometre, five-year journey of Caesium-137 from Fukushima-Daiichi through the waters of the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of Vancouver Island.

Susan Schuppli is an artist and researcher based in London whose work examines material evidence from war and conflict to environmental disasters. Current work explores the ways in which toxic ecologies from nuclear accidents and oil spills to the dark snow of the arctic are producing an “extreme image” archive of material wrongs. Creative projects have been exhibited throughout Canada, the US, Europe and Asia. She is Senior Lecturer and Deputy Director of the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths.

Meeting ID: 836 1923 4668
Passcode: 160509

Assignment until our meeting:
Please think of a place in Hamburg that you would like to visit.
(it could be a place you know well, that you only heard of but never been to or a place
that is totally unknown to you and that you would be curios to visit)
During our meeting you will present these sites to the rest of the group (with a word or a few words, with its address, or just by mentioning something about it). On 17th of May (11.00-13.00) we will explore some of these spaces two & two.

2 May (Room 11)

26 April 2022

Imagine we are gathering 100 years from now.

We interact with an object or entity to communicate with the human and non human world.
What would this object or entity be, what would it be made of? How would we engage with it? How is it connected to our pasts and presents?

Please bring it with you. (as well as something to sit on)
