Renowned curator, and a trailblazer of “usefulness” in art, Alistair Hudson is the forthcoming Artistic & Scientific Chairman of ZKM (Center for Art & Media in Karlsruhe.Alistair Hudson grabbed everybody's attention when - with Adam Sutherland - he turned Grizedale Arts, an art institution in Northwest England's Lake District, into a hotspot of artistic discussion and production between 2004 and 2015. A directorship followed, at the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art. There he developed the idea of the useful museum, opening up questions on how the museum ‘can be used' otherwise; simultaneously reflecting on a wide collection as well as new commissions and projects. In collaboration with the artist Tania Bruguera the Van Abbemuseum and Queens Museum, he got involved in the exhibition "Museum of Arte Util", later undertaking the role of co-directorship of the Association de Arte Útil that resulted from the exhibition. This project has become a repository of artistic activities that propose new uses for art, work on a 1:1 scale, and embrace artistic thinking to respond to urgencies, in short, all things dear to Ahali Conversations so far. This Episode includes additional questions by Betül Aksu, Ceminay Kara, Sarp Özer, and Alessandra Saviotti.Over the last two decades, Grizedale Arts has become an acclaimed and influential model for a new kind of art institution, one that works beyond the established structures of the contemporary art world.Liam Gillick works across diverse forms, whose wider body of work includes published essays and collaborative projects, all of which inform (and are informed by) his art practice.The British Home Office (the UK ministry responsible for immigration, security, and law and order) building was designed by Terry Farrell and has multiple integrated artworks by Gillick.Terminal Convention was a contemporary exhibition and symposium housed in the decommissioned terminal building of Cork International Airport in the Republic of Ireland. https://rhizome.org/editorial/2011/apr/07/terminal-convention/Arte Útil roughly translates into English as 'useful art' but it goes further suggesting art as a tool or device.https://www.arte-util.orgTania Bruguera is a politically motivated performance artist, who explores the relationship between art, activism, and social change in works that examine the social effects of political and economic power. https://art21.org/artist/tania-bruguera/The Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven is one of the leading museums for contemporary art in Europe. https://vanabbemuseum.nl/enCharles Esche is a museum director, who has been directing the Van Abbemuseum since 2004.John Ruskin was an English writer, philosopher, art critic, and polymath of the Victorian era.

WikipediaThe ZKM (Center for Art and Media) in Karlsruhe “is a house of all media and genres, a house of both spatial arts such as painting, photography and sculpture and time-based arts such as film, video, media art, music, dance, theater, and performance. ZKM was founded in 1989 with the mission of continuing the classical arts into the digital age. This is why it is sometimes called the digital Bauhaus”. https://zkm.de/enPeter Weibel was a post-conceptual artist, curator, and new media theoretician. He was at the helm of ZKM since 1999.

The prize, endowed with8,000 euros, was founded by Akademie Schloss Solitude and ZKM and is sponsored by the Stiftung Landesbank Baden-Württemberg. Based on the hash value from information technology, which is unique for each file and is used as a test value for datatransfer, the HASH stands for an outstanding project. The prize will be awarded to one of the artists from the English-language online support program Web Residencies for the years 2018/2019. Conceived by invited curators, the Web Residencies’ open calls addressed questions such as: What can we learn from machines and how much do we depend on them in our lives and at work? 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? What role do mobile phones, actioncams, toy drones and social media live streaming play in war, terrorism, hunting, and other forms of subjective violence and their representation?

Critical Zones | Terrestrische Universität [16.07.2020] The ocean is a sensorium. It records in its complex dynamics the transformations of the Earth, and it inscribes its cycles back into the activities of life-forms. The global ocean is changing its circulations, energies, interactions, and ecologies. It is the most dynamic and sensitive component of our living planet. How can we think from and with the ocean? The ocean is in a new phase of its dynamic history, shaped by intensifications of the impact of human activities on planetary systems. The transformations are plural: they traverse a multiplicity of elements, circulations, life forms, environments, and operate across a gradient of dimensions, energies and rhythms. How are we to understand the current sets of transformations changing the ocean without reverting to an all-sweeping new horizon, one single line of sight? How to become sensible to the multiple refractions and circulations that are coupled in the making of the Anthropocene ocean? TBA21–Academy and Territorial Agency are collaborating to connect new forms of visibility and understanding of the ocean brought by science, culture, and art. Linking scientists, artists, policy makers, and conservationists by way of shared images, data sets, and narratives, the project is structured as an instigation for new cognitive modes of encountering the ocean and a line towards attainable solutions to safe-guard the oceans. »Oceans in Transformation« is a multi-year research project by Territorial Agency, commissioned by TBA21-Academy. The project is highlighted in the exhibition »Critical Zones« with a multimedia installation investigating the architecture of the continental shelf, and how they are being transformed into a complex architecture of extraction. Fossil resources are being extracted at larger and larger risk, excessive fishing is depleting the livelihood of marine life, the ploughing of the seabed through trawling is rearranging the sedimentary strata and eradicating life. About the participants John Palmesino is an architect and urbanist, born in Switzerland. He has established, together with Ann-Sofi Rönnskog, Territorial Agency, which has designed the integrated vision for the future of the Markermeer, in the Netherlands. In his scientific as well as artistic work, he focuses on the territorial transformations. Ann-Sofi Rönnskog is an architect and urbanist from Finland. Together with John Palmesino, she has established Territorial Agency . Her work focuses on the architectural and spatial analysis of contemporary city transformation processes. Markus Reymann is the director of TBA21-Academy. Between July, 2011 and today, Reymann initiated and conducted numerous expeditions. Each trip is designed as a collaboration with invited artists, scientists and thinker's eager to embark on oceanic explorations. Inspired by this unusual encounter with both human and natural elements, the Academy commissions ambitious projects informed by the itinerary of the research vessel Dardanella. Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza is the Founder and Chair of Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21). Driven by a belief in the power of art to serve as an agent of change, she has supported artists throughout her career in the production and creation of new work that fuels engagement with the most pressing issues of our times. Bruno Latour is a philosopher, anthropologist and sociologist. He curated the exhibition »Critical Zones«, which puts the focus on the thin surface of the earth, in which all transactions of life are mutually dependent. In his latest publication »Down to Earth: Politics in the New Climatic Regime« he demands to define politics as what leads toward the Earth and not toward the global or the national. Peter Weibel is the chairman of the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe. He studied literature, medicine, logic, philosophy, and film. On account of his various activities as artist, media theorist, curator, and as a nomad between art and science, he became a central figure in European media art. He also curated the exhibition »Critical Zones« Bettina Korintenberg is a cultural studies scholar whose work focuses on the areas where art, architecture, and literature intersect. Her curatorial and academic practice centers on critically questioning and reflecting on paradigms of modernity against the backdrop of contemporary social and ecological transformations. She also curated the exhibition »Critical Zones«.

The prize will be awarded to one of the artists from the English-language online support program Web Residencies for the years 2018/2019. Conceived by invited curators, the Web Residencies’ open calls addressed questions such as: What can we learn from machines and how much do we depend on them in our lives and at work? 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 could digital infrastructures that promote opinion-forming and political debate look? What role do mobile phones, actioncams, toy drones and social media live streaming play in war, terrorism, hunting, and other forms of subjective violence and their representation?

Today, we take you to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, also known as SAIC. We’re here to meet participants in Imagining Tomorrow. The yearly experiential learning opportunity brings together students from schools in the Netherlands, Germany, the United States and Pakistan. During each two-week seminar, they gather in a different host community to envision possible futures through design thinking. The clients are local organizations who ask the students to imagine solutions to real-life challenges—such as environmental sustainability and immigrant integration.  Chicago-based artists Kirsten Leenaars and Laura Davis co-created this international project. A lecturer at SAIC, Leenaars introduces us to three students who have experienced Imagining Tomorrow in Utrecht, Netherlands and Karlsruhe, Germany. Their studies range from film, animation and video to architecture and fashion. In our conversation, you’ll hear how in a range of cultural contexts, students and educators alike forge meaningful relationships and learn to navigate business and government protocols. Crossing international borders to collaborate and innovate, students bring creativity outside the classroom—engaging with communities and learning to lead.  Related Episodes: Wayne State—Designing for Urban Mobility, OCAD University—Curating in the Digital Realm Related Links: School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Imagining Tomorrow, International Red Cross/the Netherlands, ZKM Center for Art and Media/Germany Imagining Tomorrow is a two-week international seminar in which students from schools in the Netherlands, Germany, the United States and Pakistan come together to collaboratively address questions about future design thinking. They work with clients from international public and private organizations to propose interdisciplinary solutions to real-life issues. Participating schools: HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands; SAIC, Chicago, USA; Karlshochschule International University, Karlsruhe, Germany; Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, Karachi, Pakistan. The School of the Art Institute of Chicago will host the 2020 seminar. Kirsten Leenaars, an interdisciplinary video artist based in Chicago, lectures at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Various forms of performance, theater, and documentary strategies make up the threads that run through her work. She engages with individuals and communities to create participatory video and performance work. Her work oscillates between fiction and documentation, reinterprets personal stories and reimagines everyday realities through shared authorship, staging and improvisation.  Laura Davis is a multi-disciplinary artist interested in objects and craft. Her works both present their own histories but easily adapt to how Davis recontextualizes them. She wields and contradicts assumed archetypes of gendered roles, reimagining new relationships by creating handcrafted metal sculpture combined with gender specific readymade objects. Her interactions disrupt notions of value at the intersections of art, design and craft.     The Student Edition began in 2019, with visits to art schools and universities in the United States and Canada, where we began recording voices of the future. In 2020, we present the first episodes in our Student Edition—conversations about creativity with emerging makers and producers. Given opportunities to explore and experiment, students are discovering how they can shape the world they live in. What issues and ideas spark their creative impulse?

Rund vierhundert Kunstwerke aus den Tourneeausstellungen des ifa, die während sechs Jahrzehnten die Kunst in Deutschland auf allen Kontinenten repräsentierten, werden mit neuem Blick auf die Kunstgeschichte vorgestellt Bis 1990 zeigte das Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen Ausstellungen deutscher Kunst im Auftrag der damaligen Bundesrepublik.

Art from Germany” at the ZKM⎥Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe. Around 400 works of art from the ifa touring exhibition, which represents six decades of art in Germany across all continents, are introduced with a new perspective on art history. Until 1990, the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen exhibited art from Germany on behalf of the then Federal Republic. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the inventory of the Zentrums für Kunstausstellungen der DDR [Center for Art Exhibitions of the GDR] was transferred to ifa. In the exhibition at the ZKM, parallel art developments in the FRD and GDR – often linked beyond politics – encounter one another. The exhibition places particular attention on the development of what, today, has become the self-evident influential role of artists and the emancipation of photography as an independent genre in art.

Moments. Eine Geschichte der Performance in 10 Akten | Artist Talk Exhibition 08.03.2012 – 29.04.2012 Since she was created in 1972 by Lynn Hershman Leeson, the figure Roberta Breitmore moves and reproduces herself much like the ghostly double of the artist through the various realities and media formats. One could say Roberta Breitmore, performs media realities: she appears in films or in reality at vernissages, meets with men on dates, materializes in three-fold form, wanders onto the Golden Gate Bridge like on a film still of the American Independent Cinema, or becomes a victim of exorcist ritual. Roberta is a comic heroine; it is possible to communicate with her in cyberspace through the interface of a puppet which has her features and meet her in the virtual world of the “second life”. Her dress, her glasses, a wig are traces of this existence. Roberta owns an insurance card and is congratulated by the President of America on her virtual birthday. The media documentation of Roberta’s performance, which will be exhibited in Moments, are at the same time evidence of the most various formats in which a performance can represent itself: from Vintage Print, original photography, exhibition copy, poster or an advertisement, film, video, eye-witness account and art criticism etc. through to the copy of a film from the Internet on a Home-Printer. Lynn Hershman Leeson will develop this process of media duplication of the documents herself during her stay in Karlsruhe. Short Biography Since Lynn Hershman Leeson (*1941 in Cleveland Ohio, USA) began her career in the late 1960s as award-winning American media artist and filmmaker, she has received wide recognition for a body of work combining art with social commentary, particularly with regard to the relationship between humans and technology. A pioneer in New Media, she has been internationally acclaimed for her use of new technologies and her early investigations of issues such as identity in a time of consumerism, privacy in an era of surveillance, interfacing of humans and machines, and the relationship between real and virtual worlds. Hershman Leeson was awarded the ZKM Siemens Media Art Price in 1995 and the d.velop digital art award in 2010. Her work is, among others, in the collections of the MoMA in New York, the Tate Modern in London, the ZKM | Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe and the Hess Art Collection. A major exhibition of her work will be presented at the Kunsthalle Bremen, in 2012.

With reference to several practical examples (one of which ‒ the animated video Brainscape ‒ will be shown during the conference), she illustrates some of the advantages, but also some of the difficulties that she has encountered in this approach. A successful experience space as she terms it, enables the percipient to immerse him- or herself in a multi-dimensional sensory space and experience memories, emotions and ideas that originate from, but at the same time are not necessarily identical to, the memories, emotions and ideas of the artist. Typical of Griffiths’ work is her technique of taking sensory information received through one sense (e.g. sight or sound) and transforming it into another, such as odor, in order to communicate with the percipient at a more direct, intuitive level and enable the sensory immersion experience to transcend conventional boundaries of perception. Helga Griffiths is a Multi-Sense-Artist working at the intersection of science and art. She holds a B.F.A. from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, and from 1992–1994 completed her postgraduate studies at the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design. In 1994 she continued with further studies in New Media at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design. She received several awards such as the first prize at “Kunst auf Zeit” in Graz, an “Honorable Mention” at the International Biennale of Paper Art in Düren, the “Lichtenberg”- Award (all in 1998), and the first prize at “LichtRouten”- festival in Lüdenscheid in 2003. She received grants for artist residencies at Cité Internationale des Arts Paris in 2001 and an NEA grant at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas in Puerto Rico in 2004. Her work is in permanent collections such as the TBA TV Station in Tokyo, Deutsches Hygiene-Museum, Dresden, or the Leopold-Hoesch-Museum in Düren, Germany. She has exhibited her multi-sense-installations at several biennials such as Cairo Biennale, Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale in Japan, Havanna Biennial, and Seoul International Media Art Biennale. Her work has been shown in international museum exhibitions like the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn; Artificial Light in Art Centre, Eindhoven; Kunsthalle Kiel, Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Oslo; Upper Austrian Culture Quarter, Linz, and at the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium Symposium at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, July 15 -17, 2011 in cooperation with DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). Molecules are intrinsically unseeable; as a result it has been necessary for scientists, since the late nineteenth century, to use a common, imaginative set of forms to represent their properties. One might think that such structures are simply heuristical, but upon study it becomes apparent that they actually constitute the science they underwrite, embedding molecular study with an muted aesthetics that delights and motivates scientists. As chemistry has evolved and been rebranded as nanoscience, scientists have had the opportunity to envision molecular forms again through the lens of scanning probe microscopy (SPM). Unlike the valence forms familiar now for over a century, SPM images give molecules the gloss of photographic validity; nevertheless, from buckminsterfullerene to molecular machines, scientists “discover” that SPM generated images validate and reiterate the familiar valence forms spawned in the late nineteenth century and envisioned for so many decades. In this talk I examine the evolution of molecular aesthetics from the first representations of buckminsterfullerene forward, including the aesthetics of molecular machines and scanning probe microscopy. I will highlight buckminsterfullerene's Platonic aesthetics, the aesthetic relationship of nanocars and molecular switches to Boyle's seventeenth-century mechanistic philosophy and twentieth-century machine aesthetics, and the photographic aesthetics of SPM. /// Symposium im ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, 15. -17. Juli 2011 In Kooperation mit dem DFG-Centrum für Funktionelle Nanostrukturen (CFN) des Karlsruhe Instituts für Technologie. Moleküle sind an sich unsichtbar. Daher ist es seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts üblich geworden, ihre Eigenschaften mittels eines allgemeingültigen, anschaulichen Formenvokabulars darzustellen. Man könnte meinen, dass solche Gebilde rein heuristischer Natur sind, doch stellt sich bei genauerer Betrachtung heraus, dass sie selbst zum Gegenstand der Wissenschaft geworden sind, die sie repräsentieren. Sie bereichern die Molekularforschung mit einer unaufdringlichen Ästhetik, die den Wissenschaftler anspricht und motiviert. Mit der Weiterentwicklung und Neukonzeption der Chemie als Nanowissenschaft entstand die Möglichkeit, molekulare Formen mithilfe der Rastersondenmikroskopie (RSM) zu visualisieren. Im Gegensatz zu den bereits seit gut einem Jahrhundert bekannten Valenzformen versehen RSM-Bilder die Moleküle mit dem Glanz der fotografischen Abbildungstreue. Dessen ungeachtet „entdecken“ Wissenschaftler, dass RSM-Darstellungen - von Buckminsterfullerenen bis zu molekularen Maschinen - die seit vielen Jahrzehnten vertrauten Valenzformen auffrischen und bestätigen. Wir verfolgen die Entwicklung der Molekularästhetik von der ersten Darstellung des Buckminsterfullerens bis zu späteren Errungenschaften wie der Ästhetik molekularer Maschinen und der Rastersondenmikroskopie. Zur Sprache kommen die platonische Ästhetik des Buckminsterfullerens, die ästhetischen Wurzeln der Nanocars und der molekularen Schalter in Boyles mechanistischer Philosophie des 17. Jahrhunderts und in der Maschinenästhetik des 20. Jahrhunderts sowie die fotografische Ästhetik der Rastersondenmikroskopie.

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 Symposium at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, July 15 -17, 2011 in cooperation with DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). How and why are biomedia employed in the field of (media) art? Whilst the technosciences themselves have increasingly become potent producers of aesthetic visualizations, do artists just want to make rival use of the epistemic power of the image? Or do they rather use wetware at the molecular or cellular level in order to short-circuit semiotic procedures of representation by staging and voluntarily emphasizing the very authenticity of their biological subjects, objects, processes or systems? The artistic use of biomedia as means of expression takes advantage of the high degree of non-fictitious believability, truthfulness and manifest corporality of their status as real biological entities, potentially living or stemming from life, and thus resembling the viewers of this art themselves. But while their real, apparent, or at least potential a/liveness first prompts the viewer's feeling of immediacy, the underlying mediality and technological constructedness of these displays is more slowly, cryptically revealed and addressed. Therefore, the apparent visual and diegetic core of biotechnological artworks needs to be carefully analyzed, beyond a purely image-based hermeneutic approach, on the basis of the artistic media themselves with their respective phenomenological impacts and their epistemic nexuses. Features that once unfolded primarily as artistic images are today being remediated, dispersed and fragmented into a confusing multitude of media. Here, mediation and technologies are no longer employed merely to achieve an aesthetic effect. They are themselves fully-integrated elements of the aesthetic idiom. Indeed, biomedia's potential to produce, destabilize and deconstruct authenticity can be seen in the light of two complementary and well-established mechanisms in art history: Illusionism, which can be considered the simulation of an authentic presence that appears even to share a physical space with the viewer, and indexicality, on the other hand, which acknowledges that cultural products per se obey sign modalities and hence induce degrees of representation. /// Symposium im ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, 15. -17. Juli 2011 In Kooperation mit dem DFG-Centrum für Funktionelle Nanostrukturen (CFN) des Karlsruhe Instituts für Technologie. Wie und warum werden Biomedien in der (Medien-) Kunst eingesetzt? Während die Technowissenschaften selbst immer häufiger zu potenten Gestaltern ästhetisierter Veranschaulichungen werden, wollen Künstler da konkurrierend die epistemische Kraft von Bildlichkeit in Anspruch nehmen? Oder benutzen sie Wetware auf molekularer und zellulärer Ebene, um semiotische Repräsentationsprozesse kurzzuschließen, indem sie die Authentizität ihrer biologischen Subjekte, Objekte, Abläufe oder Systeme inszenieren und bewusst herausstellen? Die Verwendung von Biomedien als künstlerisches Ausdrucksmittel nutzt deren überzeugende Glaubwürdigkeit und Wirklichkeitsnähe ebenso wie die manifest präsente Körperhaftigkeit, welche sich aus dem Status als biologische Einheiten ableitet, welche lebendig sind oder aus Lebendigem hervorgingen und somit dem Betrachter einer solchen Kunst gleichen. Während ihre faktische, offenbare oder zumindest potenzielle Lebendigkeit bei der Rezeption zunächst ein Gefühl der Unmittelbarkeit hervorruft, tritt die zugrunde liegende mediale und technologische Konstruiertheit jener Dispositve nach und nach bruchstückhaft und kryptisch zutage. Der visuelle und diegetische Kern biotechnologischer Kunstwerke verlangt daher eine eingehende Analyse, die nicht allein auf die Hermeneutik des Bildes, sondern direkt auf die künstlerischen Medieneinschließlich ihrer phänomenologischen Wirkungen und epistemischen Verknüpfungen gegründet ist. Erscheinungen, die früher primär die Form von Kunstbildern annahmen, werden heute in eine verwirrende Vielfalt von Medien übersetzt, verstreut und fragmentiert. Das Medial-Technologische ist nicht mehr Mittel zum Zweck, sondern vollwertiges Element der ästhetischen Sprache. Dennoch führen Biomedien in der Kunst historische Mechanismen der Authentizitätsproduktion fort, insbesondere jene von Illusionismusund Indexikalität.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium Symposium at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, July 15 -17, 2011 in cooperation with DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). Organolithium compounds were pioneered by Wilhelm Schlenk at the University of Jena in Germany in 1917. Nominated for a Nobel Prize for this and other brilliant work, Schlenk lost out because it was thought “organolithium compounds are too unstable to be of any use”. A century on and organolithium and other organometallic compounds are absolutely indispensable to the world. They are utilised in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, dyes, agrochemicals, perfumes, polymers and many other important everyday commodities. Their reputation of being challenging to handle and even pyrophoric, belies the fact that, at the molecular level, organolithium compounds adopt a bewildering variety of beautiful, eyecatching structures. These structures are not just aesthetically pleasing, they are the engines which drive the chemistry and properties of these useful materials. Our contribution to the development of these structures is discussed, focusing on the different architectures and patterns which emerge. Chemists are constantly looking at new ways of improving organometallic chemistry. Presently we are developing the concept of “synergic bimetallics”. Reactions impossible with conventional organometallic compounds are now made possible using these synergic bimetallics as the two distinct metals can communicate with each other through the structure. Underpinning this new chemistry is a fascinating world of molecular architecture involving rings of atoms which can capture other molecules in their cores. An example of a sodium-magnesium ring capturing an iron molecule is shown in the portrait below. Cover art is becoming increasingly important in chemistry papers to draw attention to new discoveries in thoughtful, creative ways. Examples from our own work will be included in the presentation. /// Der deutsche Chemiker Wilhelm Schlenk (Universität Jena) experimentierte 1917 erstmals mit Organolithiumverbindungen. Dank dieser und anderer richtungsweisender Leistungen wurde Schlenk für den Nobelpreis vorgeschlagen, der ihm jedoch nicht verliehen wurde, da „Organolithiumverbindungen zu instabil für praktische Anwendungen“ seien. Ein Jahrhundert später sind Organolithium und andere Organometallverbindungen zum unverzichtbaren Grundstoff in der Herstellung von Arzneimitteln, Farbstoffen, Duftstoffen, Agrochemikalien, Polymeren und vielen anderen Gebrauchsgegenständen geworden. Entgegen ihrem Ruf, schwierig zu verarbeiten und sogar luftentzündlich zu sein, entfalten Organolithiumverbindungen auf molekularer Ebene atemberaubend schöne Strukturen von unglaublicher Vielfalt. Ihre Struktur ist nicht nur in ästhetischer Hinsicht bedeutend - sie bestimmt zugleich die chemischen Eigenschaften dieser nützlichen Materialien. Wir stellen unseren Beitrag zur Entwicklung dieser Strukturen vor, mit besonderem Augenmerk auf die entstehenden Bauformen und Muster. Chemiker suchen ständig nach neuen Wegen zur Verbesserung der Organometallchemie. Wir beschäftigen uns aktuell mit „synergistischen Bimetallen“, deren Komponenten über die Struktur miteinander kommunizieren und Reaktionen zulassen, die mit konventionellen Organometallverbindungen undurchführbar waren. Grundlage dieses neuen Forschungsgebiets ist die faszinierende Welt der molekularen Architektur. So können Atomringe fremde Moleküle aufnehmen, wie die untere Abbildung eines Natrium-Magnesium-Rings, der ein Eisenmolekül an sich bindet, zeigt.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium Symposium at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, July 15 -17, 2011 in cooperation with DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the 'molecular' is not, as Eugene Thacker has recently remarked, necessarily about 'molecules' in a conventional scientific sense. Rather the concept is at the heart of a Deleuzian challenge to hierarchies of matter/form and molar/molecular. In A Thousand Plateaus the 'molecular' is synonymous with concepts of becoming, deterritorialisation and multiplicity. In practice, this means that Deleuze and Guattari challenge the genetic determinism that is often associated with molecular biology. When drawing on the work of Jacob and Monod, for example, they conceptualise the relationship between nucleic acids and proteins in terms of 'expression' and 'content'. The existence of what Deleuze and Guattari call a 'pure line of expression' (DNA) gives living organisms a high degree of deterritorialisation. This 'molecular' vision is developed most fully in Deleuze's work on aesthetics, and in particular his work on music, literature and film. In all of this work Deleuze adopts a radically materialist perspective. As far as music is concerned, he suggests that it might be possible to move away from thinking in terms of a musical 'matter' on which 'form' is imposed (this would in turn imply a hierarchy of matter, life, and spirit). In short, the coupling of 'matter-form' might be replaced by 'matter-force'. In this way, certain kinds of music would be able to render audible forces that would otherwise be non-audible. Similarly, as far as literature is concerned, Deleuze's molecular perspective highlights the ways in which writing is capable of rendering impersonal affects, percepts and singularities. In the case of film, Deleuze's reading of Bergson's materialism leads him to propose a radical immanence of the image in matter. /// Der Begriff des „Molekularen“ bei Gilles Deleuze und Pierre-Félix Guattari bezieht sich, wie Eugene Thacker jüngst angemerkt hat, nicht unbedingt auf „Moleküle“ im wissenschaftlichen Sinn. Vielmehr ist er die Spitze, die Deleuze gegen die Hierarchien von Materie/Form und Molar/Molekular wendet. „Molekular“ steht in Tausend Plateaus gleichbedeutend mit Werden, Deterritorialisierung, Multiplizität. Die beiden Autoren formulieren daraus eine Kampfansage an den genetischen Determinismus, der beharrlich mit der Molekularbiologie in Zusammenhang gebracht wird. In ihrer Behandlung des Werks von François Jacob und Jacques Monod interpretierten sie die Beziehung zwischen Nukleinsäuren und Proteinen unter dem Aspekt von „Ausdruck“ und „Inhalt“. Die Existenz dessen, was Deleuze und Guattari als „reine Linie des Ausdrucks“ (DNS) bezeichnen, verleiht dem lebenden Organismus einen hohen Grad an Deterritorialisierung. Am stärksten ausgeprägt ist der „molekulare“ Blick in Deleuzes Schriften zur Ästhetik, insbesondere in jenen zu Musik, Literatur und Film, in denen er eine radikal materialistische Position bezieht. In Bezug auf die Musik spekuliert er, dass es möglich sein müsse, von der Vorstellung einer musikalischen „Materie“, die in eine „Form“ gezwungen wird (und ihrerseits eine Hierarchie von Materie, Leben und Geist voraussetzt), abzugehen und die Dualität Materie-Form durch Materie-Kraft zu ersetzen. Bestimmte Arten der Musik könnten damit unhörbare Kräfte hörbar machen. In der Literatur erhellt der molekulare Blick, wie unpersönliche Affekte, Empfindungen und Singularitäten sich in Worte fassen lassen. Und in seiner Filmtheorie postuliert Deleuze ausgehend vom Materialismus Bergsons eine radikale Immanenz des Bilds in der Materie.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium Symposium at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, July 15 -17, 2011 in cooperation with DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). Nanotechnology gains much attention and credibility from a portfolio of detailed and attractive images of atoms, molecules, and other nanoscale objects. Usually they are created by either a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) or an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). These images employ familiar conventions for making the nanoscale look like a three-dimensional topography. Yet there is a series of problems in the relation between a nanoscale object and a picture of the object. Nanoscale objects are much smaller than the wavelength of visible light, in which case colors, shading and other visual conventions are artificial. A picture of an atom or a molecule cannot possibly look like an atom or a molecule. This relationship has been explored extensively by philosophers, artists and others. Now, in addition to seeing what is wrong with nano images, we should also see what is right: what is the visual knowledge in these images that is worth appreciating? To answer that question, we can turn to certain aesthetic resources, e.g., the cubist principle of simultaneité. And then simultaneité leads to an exercise called inter-instrumentality. By employing these aesthetic resources, we can derive visual knowledge from nano images even as we realize the problems in the relation between a molecule and a picture of a molecule. /// Symposium im ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, 15. -17. Juli 2011 In Kooperation mit dem DFG-Centrum für Funktionelle Nanostrukturen (CFN) des Karlsruhe Instituts für Technologie. Ein nicht unwesentlicher Grund für die Popularität und Aktualität der Nanotechnologie ist die Verbreitung detaillierter, hochqualitativer Abbildungen von Atomen, Molekülen und Nanoobjekten, aufgenommen mit dem Rastertunnelmikroskop (RTM) oder Rasterkraftmikroskop (RKM). Der Nanokosmos wird mittels konventioneller Methoden in eine dreidimensionale Topografie umgewandelt. Hierbei treten allerdings Unstimmigkeiten zwischen Objekt und Repräsentation in Erscheinung. Da Nanoobjekte weitaus kleiner sind als die Wellenlänge des Lichts, handelt es sich bei den Farben, Schattierungen und anderen Qualitäten um willkürliche Darstellungshilfen. Die Abbildung eines Atoms oder Moleküls kann unmöglich wie ein Atom oder Molekül aussehen. Philosophen, Künstler und andere Gruppen haben dieses Paradox eingehend untersucht. Man sollte indessen nicht nur sehen, was an den Bildern falsch ist, sondern auch, was an ihnen der Realität entspricht. Enthalten sie brauchbare visuelle Anhaltspunkte? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wenden wir uns ästhetischen Präzedenzfällen zu, etwa dem kubistischen Prinzip der Simultaneität (simultaneité), das uns zu interinstrumentalen Versuchstechniken führt. Durch die Anwendung ästhetischer Mittel gelingt es uns, visuelle Informationen aus den Nano-Bildern zu extrahieren, ohne deshalb aus den Augen zu verlieren, dass die Relation von Molekül und Abbildung Diskontinuitäten aufweist.

It was in the 60s of the last century that the pores of our senses openend up. Was it the mescaline impregnated pictures of a Henri Michaux, was it the LSD-borne dreams of a Timothy Leary. Was it the wounds of the second world war, written down in the palm sized drawings of a »WOLS« (Wolfgang Schulze) It was the high period of kinetics of a Jean Tinguely, of a Gerhard von Graevenitz, of the seriell paintings of a Victor Vasarely, generated from the value inverted pragmatism of emptiness of a Marcel Duchamp. Everything screamed out for new art. Now it had to arrive, the biologically based kinetic. A word was spit out: Biokinetic. Realised for the first time in 1969 in the Musem Schloss Morsbroich of the city of chemistry, Leverkusen, the museum which had shortly before become a lanching pad into the infinite blue space of an Yves Klein. /// Symposium im ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, 15. -17.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium Symposium at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, July 15 -17, 2011 in cooperation with DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). My thesis is that there is an integral tetrahedron linking new sciences, new technologies, new media, and new aesthetics such that each enables the others.  Viewing the tetrahedron as integral, symbiotic, and transformative alters the usual world view of the scientist, who is generally still trained in a nineteenth century Comteian positivism that has sciences driving progress in all other human endeavors. Few scientists appreciate the many ways in which media and aesthetics inform and make possible their own insights. I shall explore through a set of case studies how aesthetics and media enable new science and technology, thereby defining the nature of the linkers attaching each discipline to the others. I shall focus in particular on four such linkages: 1) the imaginary worlds that a scientist must conceive before testing the nature of perceived existence; 2) the nature of what physicist/philosopher Michael Polanyi has called “personal knowledge”, the intuitive, sensual way in which a scientist comes to know nature before words, equations or graphical representations are possible; 3) technique, which embodies the physical rendering of ideas into experiments and apparatuses;  and 4) synosia, a combination of synaesthetic sensual experience with formal intellectual knowledge resulting in a feeling of knowing and knowing feelings. My conclusion is that these linkages can exist only when science, technology, media and aesthetics intersect and combine to co-stimulate each other. The fundamentally important result is the phenomenon of wonder.  For in the final analysis, as my colleague Scott Gilbert has recently argued, it is wonder that drives all of us, in every discipline, to explore the nature and meaning of our existence. Molecular aesthetics embodies that wonder in wonderful and wonder-full ways that will produce not only new arts, but also new sciences. /// Symposium im ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, 15. -17. Juli 2011 In Kooperation mit dem DFG-Centrum für Funktionelle Nanostrukturen (CFN) des Karlsruhe Instituts für Technologie. Als Ansatzpunkt dient uns das Schema eines Tetraeders, das neue Wissenschaften, Technologien, Medien und Ästhetiken so verknüpft, dass ein wechselseitig gewinnbringender Austausch entsteht. Diese integrale, symbiotische und transformative Vernetzung verändert das Weltbild des durchschnittlichen Wissenschaftlers, der auch heute noch an der Überzeugung des Comte'schen Positivismus aus dem 19. Jahrhundert festhält, die Wissenschaft sei die treibende Kraft des Fortschritts in allen menschlichen Unternehmungen. Nur wenige Wissenschaftler lassen sich auf die Frage ein, inwieweit Ästhetik und Medien ihre Studien beeinflussen und überhaupt erst möglich machen. Wir zeigen anhand mehrerer Fallstudien, wie Ästhetik und Medien die Innovation in Wissenschaft und Technik vorantreiben. Dabei fällt ein Schlaglicht auf die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen den Disziplinen. Vier davon werden genauer betrachtet: 1) die Vorstellungswelten, die ein Wissenschaftler ersinnen muss, ehe er die Beschaffenheit wahrgenommener Phänomene prüft, 2) das „persönliche Wissen“ gemäß der Definition des Physikers und Philosophen Michael Polanyi als intuitive, sinnliche Annäherung an die Natur, die der verbalen, grafischen oder mathematischen Artikulation vorausgeht, 3) Technik, die konkrete Umsetzung von Ideen in Experimente und Versuchsanordnungen, sowie 4) „Synosie“, die Kombination synästhetischer Sinneswahrnehmungen mit rationalem Denken, die gefühltes Wissen oder wissende Gefühle erzeugt. Wir gelangen zu dem Schluss, dass Wechselbeziehungen dieser Art nur dann eintreten können, wenn Wissenschaft, Technologie, Medien und Ästhetik sich so überschneiden und verflechten, dass eine gegenseitige Bereicherung gegeben ist. Wichtigstes Resultat ist das Phänomen des Wunders. Denn wie Scott Gilbert unlängst argumentiert hat, ist es am Ende das Wunder, das uns in allen Disziplinen dazu antreibt, das Wesen und den Sinn unseres Daseins zu hinterfragen. Die molekulare Ästhetik verkörpert dieses Wunder auf wundervolle Art und Weise. Sie bereitet nicht nur einer neuen Kunst den Weg, sondern auch einer neuen Wissenschaft.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium Symposium at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, July 15 -17, 2011 in cooperation with DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). Sonification - the study of the acoustic conversion of experimental data - covers various fields of application, such as monitoring and comprehension of physical phenomena, audio perception of the environment by visually impaired people, and musical composition. Among the various existing sonification techniques, the acoustic conversion of molecular vibrational spectra is well-suited for the exploration of microscopic structures. Non-audible oscillations naturally occur in molecules, at rates that are orders of magnitude faster than acoustic vibrations, in a frequency range extending from 30 GHz to 300 THz and can be recorded with spectrometers. Usual analyses of such spectra involve visual examinations, comparison of experimental data with spectral databases or computed spectra. An extended method for the acoustic and musical conversion of vibrational spectral data considers any piece of music as a combination of elementary waveforms. This method leads to molecular sounds, molecular scales and even molecular musical pieces. It translates into an audible signal the same physical phenomenon at different time scales. Its versatility allows the choice of the selected musical parameters and of the time scale descriptions of the corresponding waveforms, in order to obtain the most compelling musical results. /// Symposium im ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, 15. -17. Juli 2011 In Kooperation mit dem DFG-Centrum für Funktionelle Nanostrukturen (CFN) des Karlsruhe Instituts für Technologie. Sonifikation - die Umwandlung experimenteller Daten in Klangereignisse - findet breite Anwendung, etwa in der Untersuchung und Überwachung physischer Phänomene, in akustischen Wahrnehmungshilfen für Sehbehinderte oder in der Musik. Die Transposition molekularer Schwingungsspektren in Tonsignale eignet sich ideal zur Erforschung mikroskopischer Strukturen. Moleküle oszillieren um ein Vielfaches schneller als Schallschwingungen in einem Frequenzbereich zwischen 30 GHz und 300 THz. Instrumente zur Aufzeichnung dieser Phänomene (Spektrometer) benutzen optische Komponenten und elektromagnetische Licht- und Infrarotstrahlung. Die Auswertung der höchst aufschlussreichen Schwingungsspektren erfolgt zumeist auf visuellem Weg oder durch den Vergleich mit gespeicherten oder rechnerisch erzeugten Spektren. Eine erweiterte Methode zur akustischen und musikalischen Darstellung molekularer Schwingungsfrequenzdaten definiert jedes beliebige Musikstück als Kombination elementarer Wellenformen. Die skizzierte Methode erzeugt molekulare Töne, molekulare Tonleitern und molekulare Musikstücke. Sie wird entlang verschiedener Zeitskalen in Tonsignale umgesetzt. Dieser flexible Ansatz ermöglicht die Auswahl der Ton- und Zeitparameter, die mit einer bestimmten Wellenform verbunden sind, und gewährleistet dadurch überzeugende musikalische Resultate.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium Symposium at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, July 15 -17, 2011 in cooperation with DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). Music is defined as time-based art. This conception is expressed by the intervall theory which is the dominant theory for Western music. On the lines of a score (invented by Guido Arezzo, 1025) notes are placed one after another as a temporal sequence. With the help of Clifford Algebra and Grassmann Vector Spaces it can be demonstrated that a single topological sequence can be transformed into different temporal sequences. By this method music becomes part of topology, space-based art. The notes of a score can be independent as points and numbers. These numbers are part of a field, topological neighbours. The Game of Life by John Conway (1970) is an ideal field to reflect this new conception of music. The Game of Life is a cellular automaton and serves as method of composition. It consists of a regular grid of cells, each in one of a finite number of states, such as "On" and "Off". The grid can be in any finite number of dimensions. For each cell, a set of cells called its neighborhood is defined relative to the specified cell. For example, the neighborhood of a cell might be defined as the set of cells a distance of 2 or less from the cell. The cells are treated as notes and can be calculated or »composed« according to the rules of the Game of Life. Naturally this process can also be interpreted in a rather free way. /// Symposium im ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, 15. -17. Juli 2011 In Kooperation mit dem DFG-Centrum für Funktionelle Nanostrukturen (CFN) des Karlsruhe Instituts für Technologie. Die Musik ist als zeitbedingte Kunst definiert. Diese Konzeption wird durch die Intervalltheorie ausgedrückt, die dominante Theorie in der westlichen Musik. Die Noten werden nacheinander als eine zeitliche Sequenz auf die Notenlinien (erfunden von Guido Arezzo, 1025) gesetzt. Mithilfe von Clifford Algebra und Grassmann Vektorräumen kann man zeigen, dass jede einzelne topologische Sequenz in verschiedene zeitliche Sequenzen transformiert werden kann. Durch diese Methode wird die Musik ein Teil der Topologie, raumbasierte Kunst. Die Noten einer Partitur können als Punkte und Zahlen selbstständig werden. Diese Zahlen sind Teil eines Feldes, topologische Nachbarn. The Game of Life von John Conway (1970) ist ein ideales Beispiel, um dieses neue Verständnis von Musik zum Ausdruck zu bringen. The Game of Life ist ein zellulares Automaton und dient als Kompositionsmethode. Es ist aus einem regelmäßigen Zellennetz gebaut, jedes in einer bestimmten Zahl von Zuständen, wie beispielsweise »On« und »Off«. Dieses Netz kann in jeder bestimmten Anzahl von Dimensionen existieren. Für jede einzelne Zelle ist eine Zellenreihe, ihre Nachbarschaft genannt, relativ zu einer spezifischen Zelle definiert. Beispielsweise könnte die Nachbarschaft einer Zelle als Zellenfolge einer Entfernung von 2 oder weniger von einer Zelle definiert werden. Die Zellen werden als Noten behandelt und können nach den Regeln von Game of Life, berechnet oder »komponiert« werden. Diesen Prozess kann man natürlich auch in einer freieren Art interpretieren.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium Symposium at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, July 15 -17, 2011 in cooperation with DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). Members of our species, Homo sapiens sapiens, have been occupying regions of the earth for at least 60,000 years but it is only around 10,000 years ago that permanent structures began to be built - reflecting the predominantly nomadic life-style of our ancestors before this time. Monumental constructions in stone, typified by the pyramids and other great structures scattered throughout the Middle East, remain to remind us of the mind-shift that accompanied this change. Since then, art, architecture and engineering have all flourished on the human (or macro) scale, frequently driven by both challenge and creativity. Dating from the beginnings of modern chemistry around two hundred years ago, when the nature of matter first begun to be understood in terms of atoms and molecules, it has been increasingly possible to undertake related creative activities at the molecular level - representing a further milestone in human history. This is especially true over the past three decades or so - reflecting the development of supramolecular chemistry, a sub-branch of chemistry that tends to mimic Nature's way of doing things. A focus of supramolecular chemistry is the use of single molecules and ions as 'building blocks' to construct larger assemblies exhibiting pre-designed shapes and properties. Using the tools of modern chemistry this is now often possible and supramolecular systems of significant subtlety, and also of very considerable aesthetic appeal, are being increasingly created on the nanometer scale. It is an area of contemporary chemistry where human creativity may be readily expressed. A range of structures from the supramolecular realm that bridge the boundaries between art and science will be presented. These include examples displaying artistic nuances that mimic structures found in the macro world as well as interwoven and other motifs showing both intricacy and beauty in their molecular forms. /// Symposium im ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, 15. -17. Juli 2011 In Kooperation mit dem DFG-Centrum für Funktionelle Nanostrukturen (CFN) des Karlsruhe Instituts für Technologie. Der moderne Mensch (Homo sapiens sapiens) bewohnt seit mindestens 60.000 Jahren die Erde, begann aber erst vor ungefähr 10.000 Jahren, dauerhafte Bauwerke zu errichten. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt pflegten unsere Vorahnen eine vorwiegend nomadische Lebensweise. Steinbauten nach Art der Pyramiden und anderer Monumente, die über ganz Vorderasien verstreut sind, erinnern an den Geisteswandel, der diesen Entwicklungssprung begleitet haben muss. Kunst, Architektur und Technik florieren nach dieser Zäsur auf menschlicher (makroskopischer) Ebene, vielfach von unserer Erfindungskraft und neuen Herausforderungen angetrieben. Seit den Anfängen der modernen Chemie vor etwa 200 Jahren, als Atom und Molekül sich als Bausteine der Materie herauskristallisierten, rückte die Möglichkeit in immer größere Nähe, die genannten schöpferischen Tätigkeiten auch auf molekularer Ebene auszuführen - ein weiterer Meilenstein in der Geschichte der Menschheit. Dies gilt besonders für das Aufkommen der supramolekularen Chemie in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten. Diese Disziplin beschäftigt sich mit der Nachahmung von Naturprozessen und verwendet einzelne Moleküle und Ionen als „Bausteine“ zur Konstruktion übergeordneter Verbindungen, die spezifische Formen und Eigenschaften aufweisen. Die Werkzeuge der modernen Chemie machen es möglich, im Nano-Bereich relativ diffizile supramolekulare Systeme aufzubauen, die ästhetisch reizvoll sind. Der menschliche Erfindergeist kann sich in diesem Zweig der modernen Chemie frei entfalten. Eine Reihe supramolekularer Strukturen wird präsentiert, die eine Brücke zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft schlagen. Einzelne Beispiele erinnern an Formen aus der Makrowelt, andere belegen die Schönheit und den Detailreichtum molekularer Konstellationen.

The Digital Oblivion. Substanz und Ethik in der Konservierung digitaler Medienkunst | Symposium Do, 04.11.2010 – Fr, 05.11.2010 Die Restaurierung und Konservierung von Gemälden und Skulpturen war nie nur eine Frage des Stils und der Komposition, sondern ebenso eine Frage der Materialität. Ebenso ist die Restaurierung und Konservierung von Medienkunstwerken nie nur eine Frage des Konzepts, sondern mehr denn je eine Frage der Materialität. Was werden die Museen machen mit Kunst, deren Verfallszeit eingeplant ist, seien es Schokoladeskulpturen von Dieter Roth, seien es Magnetbänder und digitale Datenspeicher. Die These von Herrn Weibel lautet: Der Speicherraum expandiert unendlich, die Speicherzeit implodiert in immer kürzeren Abständen. Ressourcenknappheit ist das Schicksal der technischen Trägermedien und der technischen Künste (von Neonröhren bis zu alten Fernsehapparaten). 1944 in Odessa geboren, studierte Literatur, Medizin, Logik, Philosophie und Film in Paris und Wien. Seit 1984 ist er Professor an der Universität für Angewandte Kunst in Wien, von 1984 bis 1989 war er Professor für Video und Digitale Kunst am Center for Media Study an der State University of New York in Buffalo. 1989 gründete er das Institut für Neue Medien an der Städelschule in Frankfurt, das er bis 1995 leitete. Von 1986 bis 1995 war er künstlerischer Leiter der Ars Electronica in Linz und von 1993 bis 1999 Österreichs Kommissär der Biennale von Venedig, von 1993 bis 1998 Chefkurator der Neuen Galerie in Graz und seit 1999 Vorstand des ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe. /// The restoration and conservation of paintings and sculptures was never just a question of style and composition, but also a question of materiality. Similarly, the restoration and conservation of media art works is never just a question of concept, but more than ever a question of materiality. What will museums do with art works whose deterioration is foreseeable, be they the chocolate sculptures of Dieter Roth or magnetic tape or data storage. My thesis is: storage space is expanding infinitely, storage time is imploding at ever shorter intervals. The shortage of resources is the fate of the technical storage media and of the technical arts, from neon lamps to television sets. Born in Odessa in 1944, Peter Weibel studied literature, medicine, logic, philosophy and film in Paris and Vienna. He became a central figure in European media art on account of his various activities as artist, media theorist and curator. Since 1984 he is professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, from 1984 to 1989 he was head of the digital arts laboratory at the Media Department of New York University in Buffalo, and in 1989 he founded the Institute of New Media at the Städelschule in Frankfurton- Main, which he directed until 1995. Between 1986 and 1995, he was in charge of the Ars Electronica in Linz, he c ommissioned the Austrian pavilions at the Venice Biennale from 1993 to 1999. From 1993 to 1998 he was chief curator at the Neue Galerie Graz, Austria, and since 1999 he is Chairman and CEO of the ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe.

Peter Weibel. From Simulation to Stimulation | Vortrag 12.10.2006, ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie. Genetische Algorithmen ermöglichen bereits heute sowohl natürliche als auch technische Konstruktionsprozesse in Realzeit zu simulieren. In der Medizin und der Kosmologie ist die visuelle Simulierung zum unverzichtbaren Werkzeug geworden. In Zukunft wird es, auf der Basis der Kontakttheorie Josephsons, möglich sein, technische und biologische Systeme miteinander zu verknüpfen. Durch die kontrollierte Stimulation von Prozessen im menschlichen Köper werden mit Hilfe von »intelligenten Agenten« die Funktionen der molekularen Welt des Körpers zu eigen und damit die Systeme der Molekularbiologie für die Molekularelektronik nutzbar gemacht. /// Peter Weibel, From Simulation to Stimulation 12 October, 2006, at ZKM | Center for Art and Media. Genetic algorhythms already enable the simulation of both natural as well as technical processes of construction in reality. In medicine and cosmology, visual simulation has become an indispensable tool. By using Josephson’s contact theory, in the future it will be possible to link together technical and biological systems. By the controlled stimulation of processes in the human body and with the aid of »intelligent agents«, the functions of the molecular world of the body will be adopted, and, consequently, the systems of molecular biology made useful for molecular electronics.
