Recent research on the impact of machines and technology on art places the machine in the centre of \u2018ecologies\u2019 (Fuller), \u2018archaeologies\u2019 (Parikka) and \u2018aesthetics of interaction\u2019 (Kwastek) pointing towards a \u2018techno-ontology\u2019 (Broeckmann).<\/p>\n<p>However, the growing interest in describing the phenomenon of the \u2018computer\u2019 as the electronic machine has risked to keep both the computer and technology more broadly trapped within a logic in which technology appears as our transcendence from which we \u2018cannot escape\u2019 (Heidegger, Zizek). Whereas the matter of technology should always be approached critically, the focus on machines as \u2018digital\u2019 and \u2018electronic\u2019 hides the alternative, experimental and different ontologies and materialities of the machine and the correspondingly \u00a0different epistemologies they may operate in. Throughout his writings, Bruno Latour, for instance, develops a thinking based on the notion of the \u2018politics of things\u2019, which may also give our relation to machines a less immaterial and semiological bias. How are the relationality and operationality of machines being negotiated into cultural and social ontologies? \u00a0With this conference we want to address the politics of machines and the \u2018inescapable\u2019 technological structures, as well as the critical infrastructures of artistic production in-between human and non-human agency.<\/p>\n<p>Where do experimental and artistic practices \u00a0work beyond the human \/ non-human dualisms and \u00a0into biological, hybrid, cybernetic, vibrant, uncanny, overly material, darkly ecological, critical, (etc.) machines?<\/p>\n<p>We welcome submissions that take a fresh approach to the politics of the machine, and exemplify, analyse and\/or contextualize alternative and experimental ontologies and epistemologies of art beyond dualisms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; First CALL FOR TOPICS and PEOPLE now open.
