The “Lectures Series” in the Summersemester 2019, starting on the 22nd of may, is part of the researchproject The Dynamic Archive
The “Vortragsreihe” The Dynamic Archive endeavors to examine mechanisms of collaborative working beyond the perimeters of the University of the Arts.
The lectures will discuss potentials for collaborations based on continuous exchanges and reflections on the structures of sharing. What does collaboration actually mean referring to engaging beyond the boundaries of individual institutions in efforts to develop shared projects of a limited or broader nature? What kind of conditions to we need to craft for this?
Collaborative work and the sharing, copying and further use of modules developed by other members of a network have become practices in communities in the arts, design and academia in recent years. “Open Source” strategies in software development have served as a model for these efforts. At the same time, issues such as goals and motivations among practitioners, as well as questions concerning authorship, patents and trade secrets relating to know how and processes have arisen.
As we regard these relationships within our collaborative research project “The Dynamic Archive”, it becomes of essential importance to constantly work against the risk of immediately succumbing our effort of research, learning and shared production of knowledge to the logic of commercialization and self-optimization. We ask: Are there different practices that could be introduced and tested? By using the term “research” in context with “the Dynamic Archive” we talk about an activity to conceptualize in a critical sense while taking aim at the economization of knowledge as a framework.
The “Vortragsreihe” (Part 1) therefore intends to question, how can the transfer between the institutions (such as theaters, exhibition spaces and an university of the arts, as well as software companies) and artists und designers be effective for all parties involved? Could appreciative processes of reception, sharing and combining complement each other?
Informed by their newly established co-laborings and guided by a quote they can’t place, artists Eva Meyer-Keller and Ilya Noeì will set up a short-term laboratory in which their research around the limits of what can be seen and what can be known
Teaching together with Sebastian Lütgert and Jan Geber in WS2019/20 at HFK.
