SymbioticA seminar

Just like a Semipermeable membrane, SymbioticA offers exchange between art and the life sciences. SymbioticA is developing a new research project entitled Semipermeable, which will be facilitated through a multiplicity of artistic and scientific approaches. This “quarantine” will allow for controlled hybridisation and will act as a membrane for cultural production.

21 March 2012

6-7pm

Webb Lecture Theatre (G21), Ground floor Geography Building UWA Alien Agencies: Research-Creation and Ethnographies of the Nonhuman Dr. Christopher Salter



What does it mean that nonhuman matter “performs”? How can contemporary techno-scientifically influenced and produced artworks be understood under the term “new materialism” – the increased interest in the acts of nonhuman objects, processes and matter itself promoted by such scholars as Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, Karen Barad and Andrew Pickering? What can fields and practices fields such as Science, Technology and Society (STS), anthropology and sociology offer to current technologically moulded practices in the area of “research-creation,” the Canadian term for creative practices that are informed by the methods and frameworks of the humanities and social sciences?



Salter will discuss new ways of thinking about performativity that bypasses anthropocentric world views while also exploring contemporary art works that challenge long standing notions of subject/object, human and nonhuman and the nature of aesthetic experience itself.



Dr. Christopher L. Salter is an internationally recognised artist, Director of the Hexagram Concordia Centre for Research-Creation in Media Art and Technology and Associate Professor for Design + Computation Arts, both housed at Concordia University in Montréal, Canada and will be Artist/Researcher in Residence at SymbioticA in 2012.



Salter's artistic and research interests revolve around the development and production of real time, computationally-augmented responsive performance environments fusing space, sound, image, architectural material and newly developed sensor-based technologies. He co-founded the art and research organization Sponge, whose works have stretched between the arenas of performance, installation, scientific research and publications and have toured internationally to festivals, exhibitions and venues. His work with Sponge as well as solo projects has been seen at major international exhibitions and presentation venues in over a dozen countries. Dr. Salter is the author of numerous publications in the areas of technology and performance, the senses and technology, real time responsive environments, mobile real time media and cultural politics. His first book Entangled: Technology and the Transformation of Performance was published in Spring 2010 from MIT Press.

SLSA 2012 takes up the “nonhuman turn” that has been emerging in the arts, humanities, and social sciences over the past few decades and welcomes proposals engaging such ongoing SLSA interests as: actor-network theory, affect theory, animal studies
assemblage theory, bio-art, brain sciences, feminist materialisms, neuroscience, new media theory, new materialism, speculative realism, systems theory
