Q&A from the session Creative Assemblages – Emerging Alliances to Augment Human Creativity with Kristoffer Ørum (Artist) and Kader Bagli (RISE | Visual Effects Studio) 

(Transcript edited for readability.) Amidst dusk, I stood alone in a sprawling, chaotic marketplace. Stalls stretched endlessly, selling sleek, high-tech smartphones. The crowd was full of anticipation. I grabbed a device. Its screen lit up, flooding me with flashes and buzzing alerts. Each ping of my phone further itching my curiosity. But it was a hollow thrill, only to be replaced by a curiosity for more. I found a tent with shifting, shimmering fabrics. The sign above read, "Future Fashion Today." The clothing was hanging in the tent, whirling in the wind, transforming with each gust. My nose caught a scent. I arrived at a food stall. A blinking flashing sign read "Sleep your way to slim in the all-natural way." Further down the path, I found myself walking past various portals that appeared to lead to other lands. Signs all around them were promising exotic adventures. But each entrance unveiled a similar scene: crowds of empty faces vying for those oh-so-necessary ideal shots of renowned landmarks. Everyone was trapped in some unending cycle, chasing an ideal of envisioned joy hollowed out by marketing ploys. The marketplace faded away. I found myself drifting in space while in front of a massive screen overlooking a massive forest of bamboo. We live in an age of information overload. And with that, brings the paradox of choice. We have choice paralysis.Choice is abound. From streaming options, relationship swiping, and endless new products, we are faced with decision fatigue and hesitation due to the fear of missing out on other alternatives. Our environments, especially urban ones, are full of distractions providing us with sensory overload. Social media only amplifies this experience of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). The continuous stream of others' experiences induces restlessness and discontent as our urge to compare ourselves to the filtered lives of others becomes inevitable. Downtime is diminished, shamed even. In a productivity-focused culture, constant activity leaves little room for reflection. Do we truly wonder why the diagnosis of anxiety and depression continues to rise? Time for reflection allows us to declutter and understand our inner emotional state, but overstimulation guides us toward distraction, leaving us unexamined, moving with society's external stimuli. Okay, but let's consider how this overstimulation we experience can lead us to become desensitized...We are constantly bombarded with intense stimuli, guiding us towards our next click, our next purchase, but maybe more importantly: our next story. We live with an endless news cycle that pushes tragic story after tragic story, inevitably leaving us with lowered experience of the intensity of the emotional pull they should cause. Just think about how fast the news moves past the latest mass shooting. The desensitized person's perception loses depth and subtlety. We become numb. And the numbed individual no longer perceives the world with the same nuance. Are we inevitably facing a diluted experience of reality? Deleuze and Guattari's concept of assemblages connects well with this I think. Assemblages are these dynamic networks of connections, or interconnections, and interactions that create our societal structures. They come in multiple forms. A city is a form of assemblage, with its buildings, roads, inhabitants, and cultural practices, all contribute to the functioning and identity of the city. A piece of art, be it film, a painting, or a sculpture, is an assemblage of various elements that come together to convey a message or evoke emotions. Our bodies are an assemblage. And us being in a society, while being a desiring machine, makes our very desire and drives an assemblage, where everything comes together into a structure that guides, dictates, and even oppresses how individuals relate to the world and themselves. Now, these structures are not static; they are fluid and malleable, constantly reshaping and adapting to our interdependent relations. But think about our experience of overstimulation and intense external stimuli...When this stimulation is incessantly thrust upon an individual, the resulting assemblage can become rigid and repetitive. Our experience becomes predictable. And more easily controlled for that matter. Imagine the individual bombarded by an unending stream of sensationalized news and graphic content. The connections formed within their mind gradually solidify into a structured assemblage, wherein certain thoughts, emotions, and reactions become closely linked. This assemblage, perpetuated by the unceasing influx of similar content, begins to constrict our range of experiences. We are then left operating in a loop of controlled and predictable experience. Why is this a problem though? These rigid assemblages exert a restrictive influence on our encounters with the world. Our ability to engage with novel and nuanced experiences becomes hampered by the dominance of these predefined connections. Thus, the individual's capacity to encounter a broad spectrum of effects becomes stifled, leading to a narrowed emotional range and, consequently, a desensitized perspective. If you've been on Tiktok, you can quickly witness a feed of carefully curated yet repetitive content. The almighty algorithm wishes to anchor us into a familiar pattern that prevents us from exploring diverse emotional territories. We like patterns. We are driven towards the familiar, so algorithms are happy to provide us with what is safe, and what is familiar. The algorithm becomes our restrictive assemblage of experience and drives. So, we can find desensitization emerging as a consequence of these rigid assemblages, where our spectrum of experience is constrained, and our emotional response dulled. But what can we do about this? Maybe we can start by drawing awareness to the assemblages we become aware of that our guiding our own drives as desiring machines. And to alter our assemblages we must seek out different and diverse experiences. Embrace uncertainty! In some sense. By consciously engaging with a broad spectrum of stimuli that can then allow for an emergence of novel connections, we can counteract the pull towards rigid assemblages that leave us in a state of desensitization. Essentially, embracing the fluidity of assemblages can help restore a sense of vibrancy in our experiences and lead us toward a more enriched, sensitive, and nuanced perspective of the world.

Gast: Lucassen, schilder “Als je vraagt hoe ik tot mijn beeldtaal kwam, dat begon met mijn overtuiging [eind jaren 50 begin jaren 60] dat de enige echte, goede en belangrijke moderne kunst abstracte kunst was. Maar er ontstond bij mij ook belangstelling, of die was er al, voor figuratieve kunst. Dan denk ik vooral aan figuratieve kunst die in de dertiger jaren gemaakt is: de nieuwe zakelijkheid en magisch realisme. Dat waren voorbeelden die aantoonden dat moderne kunst wel degelijk figuratief kon zijn. Maar in de periode van de vijftiger jaren kwam dat eigenlijk niet meer voor. Er was bij mij op een gegeven moment toch het idee dat er zoiets als een synthese mogelijk moest zijn. Daar dacht ik aan: een synthese tussen abstractie en figuratie die dus wel een nieuwe bijdrage aan de figuratieve kunst zou opleveren en ook moderne kunst zou zijn. Dus wat je kan zeggen is dat die nieuwe figuratie een voorbeeld is van een kunst die door de abstracte kunst is heen gegaan. Geheel anders dan de figuratie die in die periode beoefend werd en waar de moderne kunst eigenlijk niet voor bestond.” ————— In deze aflevering gaat Robert van Altena in gesprek met Lucassen naar aanleiding van zijn tentoonstelling ‘Schilderijen, Assemblages, Modificaties‘ te zien bij Baars Projects (t/m25 maart). —————— SPRINGVOSSEN

As I say in the introduction, I was thinking about her work when I was learning about the Sexuality Assemblage. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258032851_The_Sexuality-Assemblage_Desire_Affect_Anti-Humanism This comes from the Deleuze and Guattari idea of the 'body without organs' which is just to say that our bodies and selves exist only in relation to (and becoming of) other humans, ideas, memories, fantasies, environments, objects and that these all exist in an affective flow. I learnt about this from The Body by Nick J Fox. We discussed this in the Sex Consent and Justice episode with Tina Sikka in December last year. Don't worry if this sounds academic and technical, hopefully the conversation is pretty inclusive and straight forward and fun! If you want an intro to this you might like this module of the Teach Yourself Sex Ed course I did for my website for young people. https://www.bishuk.com/parents/teach-yourself-sex-ed-bodies/ You can check out GotN's work at https://www.girlonthenet.com/ and you can support her audio prn project and her writing at her Patreon https://www.patreon.com/girlonthenet This conversation has been out for a couple of weeks now on both of our Patreons. So do consider signing up to both of our Patreons to support the work. If you can't afford it, no worries. If you can share it on social media that would be great too.

SummaryDo you ever find it challenging to bond with students who have different experiences as you? I know I try to be very aware of my privileges, and sometimes that makes it hard for me to authentically connect with students who might be part of a marginalized population. That’s what we talk about in today’s episode with Dr. Boni Wozolek. We dive into how to navigate conversations with LGBTQ+ students, how to acknowledge and check our biases to bring equity and access to our classrooms, and how to use our privilege to help marginalized populations.Timestamps0:01 - Intro4:30 - Boni Wozolek background8:06 - Navigating conversations with LGBTQ+ youth13:20 - Bringing equity and access to our classroom15:40 - Acknowledging and checking our biases19:11 - Current research - Assemblages of Violence26:05 - How to be a “member” of a community when you’re not “part” of the community30:44 - Learning how to Listen Deeply, especially as an authority figure.33:48 - Final thoughts on thinking critically about our intersectionality38:15 - Exit Ticket Questions50:51 - Nuggets of Wrap-up.

Spéciale Jean Dubuffet Focus sur le peintre, sculpteur et plasticien français, fondateur du mouvement de l'art brut (productions de personnes exemptes de culture artistique). L'expo "Jean Dubuffet. Le preneur d'empreintes" a lieu tout cet été et jusqu'en janvier 2021 à La Louvière. "Sa vie par procuration" de Myriam Leroy. Focus sur l'expo "Jean Dubuffet. Le preneur d'empreintes", à voir au Centre de la gravure et de l'image imprimée à La Louvière jusqu'à janvier 2021. Une exposition réalisée avec le concours de la Fondation Dubuffet à Paris. On en parle avec : - Sophie Webel, directrice de la Fondation Dubuffet à Paris - Catherine de Braekeleer (c'est sa dernière expo après 25 années à la direction du Centre de la Gravure) Artiste insaisissable et polémique, Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) est un acteur majeur de la scène artistique de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Fasciné par le papier, l'encre et l'imprimerie, l'estampe est profondément liée à son œuvre peinte. L'exposition Jean Dubuffet. Le preneur d'empreintes offre une plongée exceptionnelle dans les expérimentations lithographiques de l'artiste. Elle se déploie en deux temps. La série des Phénomènes, véritable atlas des phénomènes naturels du monde, constitue le cœur de l'exposition. Chaque planche célèbre un aspect du monde naturel renforcée encore par les titres poétiques que Dubuffet leur donna. La seconde section dévoile les recherches qui ont précédé et annoncé ce cycle unique dans l'histoire de l'estampe du xxe siècle. De la série des Murs de 1945 aux Assemblages d'empreintes de 1953, le processus de création de l'artiste aboutira aux savoureuses figures à chapeau de 1962 issues des Phénomènes. 300 œuvres (lithographies, peintures, livres, assemblages...), toute la diversité de Jean Dubuffet faisant de l'invention sans cesse renouvelée le pilier de la création et de la pensée. La « Bagarre » s'agrandit au cinéma et à la littérature et on vous propose aussi un petit quiz musical et de culture générale. Avec Myriam Leroy et Jacques De Pierpont. Voici le dernier épisode de notre feuilleton "Love Songs" de Jean-Marc Panis. On a évoqué l'amour et ses méandres à travers les chansons qui nous ont marqués. Aujourd'hui, place à l'après ! On a crié, plaidé, supplié, jeté des trucs par terre et pleuré. Mais rien n'y fit, et c'est la rupture. Et puis, revient parfois un apaisement, une douceur. C'est Thomas (Jean Henri) Van Cottom, auteur du beau projet "Cabane", qui évoque cet état...

Le champagne. Un nom évocateur s'il en est. Le vin de fête, le vin des grandes occasions, le vin pétillant par excellence. Celui qui a traversé les frontières, pour devenir un symbole mondial de réjouissance. Mais aussi un peu de snobisme parfois. Et bien oui ! Au delà de son immense succès commercial, le champagne est avant tout un vin. Et c'est pour découvrir ce vin, avec ses terroirs et avec ses particularités, que nous vous emmenons aujourd'hui dans sa région de production, au coeur de la côte des blancs, à la rencontre de Charles et Emmanuel Fourny, de la maison Veuve Fourny. Ces deux frères, amoureux fous de leur région et de son vin ont repris le domaine il y a près de 25 ans. Depuis, ils s'évertuent à imprimer un style à leur vin : élégance, fraîcheur et complexité. En vrais pédagogues et artisans du champagne, ils nous ont expliqué ce qui fait la particularité de la côte des blancs. Pourquoi la craie est si importante en Champagne et comment on travaille la texture de son vin. Alors en route pour Vertu, à la rencontre des frères Fourny !

She is professor of Social Sciences at University of California Santa Cruz and a Guggenheim fellow.

Bhakti Shringarpure has written a fascinating, multidimensional analysis of the Cold War and decolonization and the often-under-explored connections between these events. In her book, Cold War Assemblages: Decolonization to Digital (Routledge, 2019), she integrates a variety of disciplinary perspectives while also weaving together the encounters and reverberations between the Cold War and decolonization and the post-colonial experience. This study takes on the political understandings of what transpired during the Cold War period in terms of the bipolar framework and what transpired in the Global South as the formerly occupying powers were leaving countries and areas they had colonized, only to be replaced by many a proxy war or occupation in these same spaces and nations. Shringarpure also makes the connection between the hard power, and hot and cold aspects of the Cold War, with the use of soft power by the western powers, especially the British and United States, to infiltrate aspects of the Anglophone world in ways that are still with us. The second part of the book examines the cultural, literary, and artistic aspects of the Cold War, especially as pursued by western intelligence services. This is an important and engaging study that will interest scholars and students across a host of disciplines. Lilly J. Goren is Professor of Political Science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-author of Mad Men and Politics: Nostalgia and the Remaking of Modern America (Bloomsbury 2015). She can be found on Twitter @gorenlj. Learn more about your ad choices.

Que l’on parle de travail ou de vie perso, c’est toujours le même jeu : Quand 2 personnes (ou plus) collaborent sur un même projet, il y a toujours des personnalités qui s’unissent et se complètent, dans le but de créer « quelque chose» de plus grand. Quelque chose d’harmonieux. Dans le vin, ce n’est pas différent : Quand 2 cépages (ou plus) s’unissent, il y a toujours des caractères qui se complètent dans le but de créer … une harmonie. Et savez-vous ce qui rend possible cette harmonie, dans le vin ? Et bien, il s’agit de construire un équilibre. Voilà ce que nous allons faire : je vais vous donner quelques exemples de vins, et vous allez voir comment les cépages s’unissent, se complètent, s’équilibrent, pour créer la personnalité du vin. Ça vous dit ? > Retrouvez-moi sur https://www.masterclass-degustation.com/ et http://www.lecoam.eu (et sur mon blog : https://www.le-vin-pas-a-pas.com/ )

"Con más de medio centenar de obras, realizadas entre 1959 y 1993, desde el pasado 2 de febrero está abierta en las salas de la Fundación Juan March la exposición del artista norteamericano Tom Wesselmann (Cincinnati, Ohio, 1931), destacada figura del arte pop en Estados Unidos, junto a Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg y Roy Lichtenstein. «De los artistas pop americanos -señala Meinrad Maria Grewenig en el catálogo de la muestra-, Wesselmann es el que más fuertemente enlaza con la tradición pictórica europea, y continúa desarrollando los conceptos de esta tradición europea hasta sus más recientes obras.»La exposición, organizada por el Instituto de Intercambio Cultural de Tubinga (Alemania), se está exhibiendo desde la primavera de 1994 en diversas ciudades europeas; y ha permitido seleccionar a los diferentes museos e instituciones que la vienen ofreciendo entre cerca de un centenar de obras que reproduce el catálogo. En la muestra que se exhibe en las salas de exposiciones de la Fundación, así como en el vestíbulo de los salones de actos y en otras de sus dependencias, están representadas todas y cada una de las series más conocidas de Wesselmann («Fumadores», «Pinturas de dormitorio», «Pinturas moldeadas», «Assemblages», etc.). Tras su clausura en Madrid, en la Fundación Juan March, el 21 de abril, la exposición se ofrecerá en Barcelona, en el Palau de la Virreina.Las obras proceden del propio Wesselmann; Mayor Gallery, de Londres; Didier Imbert Fine Art, de París; Sidney Janis Gallery, de Nueva York; Galerie Nikolaus Fischer, de Frankfurt; y varias colecciones privadas. Ha colaborado también en la realización de la muestra Mercedes Benz.En el acto inaugural de la exposición, al que asistió el director del Instituto de Intercambio Cultural de Tubinga, Thomas Buchsteiner, pronunció una conferencia Estrella de Diego, profesora de ArteContemporáneo en la Facultad de Geografía e Historia de la Universidad Complutense"Más información de este acto
