These quickly migrated into the world of gaming, with its motion capture and CGI animation, and their striking similarity with live performance through timed duration, but with a complicated relation with the physical world and real, fleshy bodies.

These podcasts were a great inspiration for our format because they're nerdy and engaging, researched and approachable. The co-host and the guest co-host engage in a conversation informed by an accessible and lively presentation of the subject, through which you can reflect on a show you've seen or discover it if you can't go, learn or re-evaluate artistic topics crossing over into our everyday lives.

Ed Atkins talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Atkins, born in Oxford, UK, in 1982, is best known for exploring the strange but endlessly rich space between the digital world and human experience and emotion. He has taken an unorthodox approach to software and hardware, “misusing” them, as he puts it, to produce videos and animations that reflect on technologies critically and poetically, testing their relationship with the messy world of physicality and feeling. A crucial factor in achieving this is his work in writing and drawing, which offers a counterweight to the digital textures of the video installations. Atkins himself is ever-present in the multiple manifestations of his practice, physically and emotionally, and the result is a body of work that, for all its deliberate complexities and confusions, has a profound core of tenderness. He reflects on the transformative experience of encountering the Czechian artist Jan Švankmajer's animated films on television, the emotional impact of Velázquez's Las Meninas, his collaborations with the Swiss composer and clarinettist Jürg Frey, and his ongoing engagement with the US literary critic Leo Bersani. Plus, he discusses life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Ed Atkins, Tate Britain, London, until 25 August; Ed Atkins, Flower, Fitzcarraldo Editions, published on 10 April, £12.99 (pb).

In this episode of the Transforming Society podcast, Richard Kemp speaks with Ed Atkins, author of A Just Energy Transition: Getting Decarbonisation Right in a Time of Crisis, about what is needed for an energy transition to be just.They discuss the need to ensure decarbonisation doesn't come at the expense of already marginalised communities, the role that green jobs will play and the importance of acknowledging that while an energy transition will change our everyday lives, it has the potential to change them for the better.A Just Energy Transition by Ed Atkins is available on the Bristol University Press website.

Part script, part novel, part manual, Sorcerer (Prototype) is the latest unclassifiable book written in collaboration between the artist and writer Ed Atkins and the poet and critic Steven Zultanski – a gentle, contemplative work about the pleasures of conversation, being with others, and being alone. ‘Unlike many narratives, Sorcerer does not put crisis and conflict at the centre of the story', write Atkins and Zultanski, describing their theme as ‘the intractability of reality – both its resistance to clear meaning and its sweetness, weirdness.' Atkins and Zultanski were in conversation with the art writer and journalist Emily LaBarge. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the ninth episode of "Barbara London Calling" 2.0, Barbara speaks with Ed Atkins, an English artist whose lively practice revolves around writing, the moving image and installation. Death, loss, distemper and debility have been preoccupations in Ed's work, which shows a keen interest in the emotions our digital technologies are unable to contain. 

Me and Ross Jardine talk about Ed Atkins' poem 'Old Food' in its book form, and as a performance by the British actor Toby Jones.

One of the most widely celebrated artists of his generation, Ed Atkins makes videos, draws, and writes, developing a complex and deeply figured discourse around definition, wherein the impossibilities for sufficient representations of the physical, specifically corporeal, world - from computer generated imagery to bathetic poetry - are hysterically rehearsed. A Primer for Cadavers, his startlingly original first collection, brings together a selection of his texts from 2010 to 2016. He was in conversation with Brian Dillon.

Serien Nye normaler er tredje del af Podcast for Samtidskunsts række af nykommissioner, der reflekterer over corona-krisen. I denne del har vi bedt kunstnere skabe nye lydværker, der sigter i retning af, hvad det er for nye normaltilstande, vi nu kan se frem til post corona. I denne episode introducerer kurator og museumsinspektør Magnus Kaslov til tre nye værker skabt af henholdsvis teaterkollektivet Teater Tugt, dramatiker David Bernstein og kunstner Ed Atkins. De tre værker kan høres i de tre følgende episoder af podcasten.

Ed Atkins, Dinner, 2020 Den britiske kunstner og forfatter Ed Atkins, der måske er bedst kendt for sine computeranimerede videoværker, har til denne serie skabt værket Dinner. Værket er performet, optaget og komponeret i Atkins lejlighed henover tiden siden nedlukningen.Gennem sin titel trækker Dinner tråde til Atkins bog og udstillingsrække Old Food. På bagsiden af bogen beskrives at: “Atkins’ kunstige realisme, hvad enten den er skrevet eller animeret, laver pastiche ud af det romantiske, så det reduceres ned til et sentimentalt blæver – for desto bedre at kunne modellere alle de triste følelser, som så ofte er umulige at udtrykke i det virkelige liv.”I Dinner fornemmer man også det sentimentale blæver, men først og fremmest mødes man af værkets store musikalitet og den nærmest fladpandede konkrete fornemmelse af noget, der ikke kan udtrykkes. En stemme, der er sidder fast i halsen, sidder fast i den fugtige mundens lyde – og sidder fast i et rum.Serien Nye normaler er tredje del af Podcast for Samtidskunsts række af nykommissioner, der reflekterer over corona-krisen.

In de video’s van Daan Couzijn spelen 3D-animaties de hoofdrol: vaak naakte mannen, die met hun even herkenbare als wezenloze voorkomen ondersteunen wat de neerslachtige voice-over vertelt. En ook in zijn installaties voert melancholie de boventoon, vormgegeven in een digitale beeldtaal à la Ed Atkins. Hoe verhoudt deze digitale wereld zich tot het fysieke leven?

Karaoke, literature and ventriloquism... Ed Atkins brings us closer to his expression of the inexpressible.

The relationship between art and technology is celebrated in a unique exhibition, From Clay to Algorithm. It is a collaboration between Intesa Sanpaolo and the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art near Turin. The third episode of the Intesa Sanpaolo Talks podcast programme explores the exhibition. We hear from Castello di Rivoli’s chief curator and curator of collections, Marcella Beccaria, and Alastair Smart, an influential art critic who discuss its innovative non-linear approach and highlight some of its key exhibits.

Wir haben uns die Ausstellung ‚Ye Olde Food‘ in der Kunstsammlung NRW (Düsseldorf) angeschaut und waren...irritiert begeistert. Wir haben uns wie Versuchskaninchen in einem bedeutenden Kunstlabor gefühlt und daher in dieser Folge selbst ein Experiment gewagt!

Flat Time house located at 210 Bellenden Road, Peckham, London is the former studio and home of John Latham (1921-2006) a pioneer of British conceptual art, who, through painting, sculpture, performances, assemblages, films, installation and extensive writings, fuelled controversy and continues to influence artists today. Latham transformed 210 Bellenden Road into a ‘living sculpture’ in 2003, naming it Flat Time House (FTHo) after his theory of Flat Time. A giant cantilevered book emerges through the glass facade of the building and onto the street. Inside, Latham designated specific rooms with anthropomorphic attributes of the living body, with the intention of communicating to visitors that Flat Time House exists as a living sculpture to be navigated as both a physical and metaphorical entity. Until his death in 2006, Latham opened his door to anyone interested in thinking and talking about art. In 2008, the Latham family opened Flat Time House to the public as a gallery, an artist’s residency and centre for alternative learning that is currently under the direction of Gareth Bell-Jones. Flat Time house operates as a discursive space to explore John Latham’s practice, his theoretical ideas and their continued relevance today. Gareth Bell-Jones (b. 1982) is the curator/director of Flat Time House. After graduating from the MA in Curating Contemporary Art at the RCA in 2010 he worked as curator for Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge, for four and a half years. There he curated residencies, exhibitions, retreats, events, publications and an annual music festival with artists such as Ed Atkins, Michael Dean, Gustav Metzger, Elizabeth Price, Keren Cytter and Cally Spooner. From 2010-14 he was a regular visiting tutor to the RCA, Curating Contemporary Art Department. Previously he was curator of Tricycle Gallery, London from 2007-09. He has recently written catalogue texts for artists including Laure Prouvost, Marlie Mul, Barbara Visser and Agata Madejska. Lisson...ON AIR is written and presented by Hana Noorali

Year: 2018 Location: Toilets of McDonald’s at 48 Leicester Square, London Duration: 19 min Please note this work contains strong language. An intimate, culinary, eschatological slice of memoir, told to you as if you should remember it – an emergence from the psychedelia that precedes abandon and follows loss. Narrated in the artist’s own voice, flat meat cake pulsates with greed, and grief, and the obsessive precision of the genius and the insane. Voice: Ed Atkins Ed Atkins is an artist who makes videos, writes and draws, developing a complex and deeply figured discourse around definition, wherein the impossibilities for sufficient representations of the physical, specifically corporeal, world — from computer generated imagery to bathetic poetry — are hysterically rehearsed.
