My favorite book is Speculations About Jakob by Uwe Johnson. How he connects through books: For the last three summers my bookshop has hosted readings in the backyard behind our shop. It's a great time to hear other writers in the area read their work, but also has a social function. We started in May 2021, after a big Covid surge. For many people, it was their first time out in public, which gave the series a lot of meaning from the start.

Dong Li's The Orange Tree (U Chicago Press, 2023) is a collection of narrative poems that braids forgotten legends, personal sorrows, and political upheavals into a cinematic account of Chinese history as experienced by one family. Amid chaos and catastrophe, the child narrator examines a yellowed family photo to find resemblances and learns a new language, inventing compound words to conjure and connect family stories. These invented words and the calligraphy of untranslated Chinese characters appear in lists separating the book's narrative sections. This lyrical and experimental collection transcends the individual, placing generations of family members and anonymous others together in a single moment that surpasses chronological time and offering intimate perspectives on times that resonate with our own. The result is an unflinching meditation on family history, collective trauma, and imaginative recovery. In this conversation, Dong and Anna discuss landscape and memory, family and history, and poetry as a medium for storytelling and as a language all its own. Dong Li is a multilingual author who translates from Chinese, English, French, and German. Born and raised in China, he was educated at Deep Springs College and Brown University. His poems have been published by Conjunctions, Fence, Kenyon Review, POETRY, and elsewhere. He has served as the Olive B. O'Connor Fellow in creative writing at Colgate University and is a recipient of fellowships from Akademie Schloss Solitude, Camargo and Humboldt Foundations, MacDowell, PEN/Heim Translation Fund, Yaddo, and others. His debut poetry collection, The Orange Tree (University of Chicago Press, March 2023), was the inaugural winner of the Phoenix Emerging Poet Book Prize.

The prolonged farmers' protests that unfolded in India in 2020-2021 undoubtedly represents the most significant and successful farmers' movement in the country in recent decades. Often referred to as the farm law movement, protesting farmers demanded the withdrawal of three new laws that would have considerably liberalised agricultural production and trade. Their demands were met after more than a year of protests, in December 2021, when Prime Minister Modi - in an unprecedented policy setback - announced that the controversial laws would be repealed. Yet since then, we have not heard much from the many farmers unions and organizations that made up the movement. What's has become of the farm law movement? And, what kind of lasting legacy has it left on Indian popular politics? To discuss these questions, we are joined by the award-winning author, journalist, and columnist Amandeep Sandhu, who has closely followed and worked with the farm law movement from its inception. Amandeep Sandhu writes regularly for The Caravan, Scroll, and The Hindu. He has been a Fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, and is currently a Homi Bhabha Fellow. Sandhu is the author of several books, including "Panjab: Journeys Through Fault Lines" from 2019.

Hey everyone. Hope you are doing well. The Lunar New Year came and went without much trouble and teaching started back up at my university. Over the break, I caught up on some work, cooked a bit, and read some books. I was able to finish Raven Leilani's Luster and Charles Yu's Interior Chinatown. Both were a good break from some of the more dense art theory I sometimes put myself through. I recommend you check both out. Anyway. For this episode, I am interviewing Jen Liu, an artist working in video, painting, biomaterial, sculpture, and performance on the topics of national identity, labor economy, and the reinterpretation of archival artifacts. Jen got her BA in creative writing from Oberlin College and an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. She has attended residencies such as De Ateliers, Akademie Schloss Solitude, Pioneer Works, and many others. Jen has also exhibited in venues like The Whitney Museum, The New Museum, and the 2014 Shanghai Biennale. Her past awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship, a LACMA Art+Technology Award, and a Creative Capital grant. In our discussion, we chat about Jen's path from a writer to an artist, living and working in Europe, and how she views storytelling in the framework of time-based media. Jen thought we sounded like two cute chipmunks which I take as a compliment. In any case, stay safe, stay healthy, and I hope you enjoy this.Links Mentioned:Jen's WebsiteMichael AsherCharles GainesLane RelyeaFollow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram

Wer heute von Mutationen spricht, der meint mutierte Viren. Aber der Begriff ist natürlich viel weitläufiger und auch nicht immer so negativ gemeint. Denn Mutationen sind ja zunächst einmal Veränderungen. Die Akademie Schloss Solitude hat einen Forschungscluster ins Leben gerufen, der sich der Mutation widmet und an der Künstler und Wissenschaftler gemeinsam mitwirken. Björn Gottstein stellt das Projekt vor.

How do new care technologies relate to the crisis in caring for the elderly and sick? With which technical innovations, hacks, or open-source strategies can we counter the causes and effects of climate change? What are today's scientific or technological colonialisms? How coulddigital infrastructures that promote opinion-forming and political debate look?

In this episode we’re proud to present Illegal Helpers, a documentary play written by German-Italian playwright Maxi Obexer, translated into English by Neil Blackadder, and arranged for audio presentation by Play for Voices. Illegal Helpers was recorded before a live audience at the Czech Center New York in Manhattan, as part of an event called Freedom and Movement that was held in November 2018 to commemorate the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution. Illegal Helpers, which premiered in Salzburg in 2016 and was named one of the 2016 winners of the German-language Eurodram Prize, explores the current refugee crisis in Europe through the eyes of ordinary citizens. The play is based on verbatim interviews the playwright conducted with Swiss, Austrian, and German residents from all walks of life—doctors, judges, social workers, activists, and students—who took it upon themselves to help refugees. Some of these helpers broke the law multiple times and were charged with providing aid to illegal immigrants, and others could still be subject to legal action at any time. The Play for Voices production of Illegal Helpers was directed by Katrin Redfern and performed by JJ Condon, Roberto De Felice, Guenevere Donohue, Mariam Habib, Asta Hansen, Wayne Maugans, Joe Primavera, Francisco Solorzano, Harold Tarr, and Pauline Walsh. Asa Wember recorded, designed, and mixed the audio.Play for Voices is produced by Matt Fidler, Anne Posten, Katrin Redfern, and Jen Zoble.About the Author and TranslatorMaxi Obexer (author) writes drama, prose, and radio plays, and has made a name for herself in particular with political plays and essays, focusing especially in recent years on the refugee crisis.

In 2011, Obexer published her first novel, Wenn gefährliche Hunde lachen (When Dangerous Dogs Laugh), a critically acclaimed work that tells the story of a young Nigerian woman who hopes to find a better life in Europe. Obexer’s plays have been produced in many cities, including Basel, Jena, Freiburg, and Stuttgart, and she has held residencies at the Literarisches Colloquium in Berlin and the Akademie Schloss Solitude. Obexer lives in Berlin and South Tyrol.Neil Blackadder (translator) recently retired as Professor of Theatre at Knox College, where he had taught since 1998.

Sie könnten – so die Verheißung der Künstlichen Intelligenz – auch die vermeintlich letzte menschliche Domäne erobern: die Kreativität. Wird KI-Kunst den Kunstmarkt revolutionieren und alte Rollenbilder ablösen oder ist sie doch nur ein verspieltes Feature in der Kunstwelt? Katja Weber diskutiert mit Clara Herrmann, Leiterin “Webresidencies” (ZKM & Akademie Schloss Solitude), Sebastian Schmieg (Künstler) und Samim Wininger (creative.ai).

L’intérêt de Mauro Lanza pour l’informatique musicale remonte à son arrivée à l’Ircam en 1998. Depuis, l’usage de l’ordinateur comme aide à la composition est devenue une pratique courante dans son travail. L’autre côté de cette approche "analytique", qui s’adapte bien à des données faciles à "numériser" est son intérêt pour les objets sonores complexes et instables, pour les instruments augmentés et les objets trouvés. Cette présentation détaillera son parcours, qui va des pièces électroniques des années 1999-2006 qui utilisent la synthèse par modèles physiques et sa lutherie virtuelle jusqu’aux dernières pièces pour instruments et physical computing écrites à quatre mains avec Andrea Valle. Né en 1975, Mauro Lanza a étudié le piano à Venise et la musique électronique à l’Ircam. Teintées d’ironie, ses compositions sont, depuis le début, le résultat d’un effort sans cesse croissant vers une fusion intime d’instruments classiques avec d’autres sources sonores moins conventionnelles (instruments-jouets, bruitages, etc…). En résidence à la Villa Médicis de 2007 à 2008, et ailleurs (Fresnoy, Civitella Ranieri, Akademie Schloss Solitude), il a entrepris diverses activités dans le domaine pédagogique (Ircam, McGill University, ESMUC, UdK). Sa musique est publiée par Ricordi, Milan. En 2014, il s’est vu décerner le prix Franco Abbiati par l’Association nationale des critiques musicaux d’Italie.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium After the discussion of the term "molecular aesthetics" and the examination of some synthetic supermolecules, principles leading to aesthetically demanding molecules are discussed on the basis of various organic natural substances. Through dimerization, bilateral-symmetric or card-like connections are formed. The linkage to ring-shaped, rotationally symmetric molecules takes place according to certain laws. The phenomenon of translation can be observed in linear and three-dimensional polymers. In the crystal lattice of the diamond the most different figures are hidden. Of particular interest is the chirality or handiness of natural and medicinal substances, which gives the molecules amazing properties. The comparison of words, molecules and melodies is also aesthetically appealing.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium The fascinating structure of DNA has enabled the encoding of a life's message and 50 years after the discovery, genome libraries and gene manipulation, we have just about scratched the surface. But today, DNA is not only a molecule of life, but also an important building block in a new field of nanotechnology - design of novel nanostructures. And the structures, which have been designed on the nano scale by making use of remarkable properties of a double helix, are not only fascinatingly complex but have, in the last decade, found a range of interesting applications and continue to attract lots of attention. What has been done till now to fill in the gaps in understanding the DNA and where can we go from here?

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium Artists operate within both the miniscule contexts of cells and molecules and the vastly larger macrocosm of human experience. While scientists ponder higher dimensions and the existence of multiple universes, the scope of knowledge encompasses once inconceivable reaches of space and time. Art is no longer limited to human scale. Neither is it any longer confined to this world or even, to this universe.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium The representation of macromolecular structures, for research or publication purposes, was a particular challenge for 20th century scientists. Focusing on protein science, this talk will explore how scientists and their collaborators have developed and used various techniques, from physical models to photorealistic computer graphics, to represent these structures. It will particularly focus on how the domains of science, the mechanical arts, the visual arts and computer science intersected and criss-crossed as this culture of macromolecular representation changed and evolved through the second half of the 20th century.
