About machines and »non-machines«: registration is now open for the conference »Non-Machines: Playground of Perspectives«

On 21–22 July 2023, the conference »Non-Machines: Playground of Perspectives« will take place within the Faculty of Art and Design at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. The conference aims to prompt a change of perspectives and to re-explore the relationships between machines and »non-machines«. Interested parties are able to register for this free event up until Friday, 7 July 2023. The focus is on technical integration: »non-machines« include human and non-human actors or tools that are not yet integrated into a machine network. This can for example be a creature evolving freely in nature or a human who is not connected to digital networks.

On Friday, 21 July 2023, the conference will open with a keynote speech by Ursula Damm (Professor for Media Environments) entitled »Non-Machines Meet Art« on the special features of non-human actors in art. This will be followed by a session on the aesthetics of the maker culture with artistic associate Mindaugas Gapševičius, Prof. Dr Verena Kuni from the Goethe University Frankfurt and media theorist Dr Yvonne Volkart from the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland.

On the second conference day, Prof. Dr. Kristupas Sabolius from Vilnius University will give a lecture on the »Technics of Compossibility«. Other topics addressed in the countless lectures will range from the do-it-yourself (DIY) and do-it-with-others (DIWO) aesthetics to big data in art and new ideas for multi-species connections. Meanwhile, Director Christl Baur will share details the theme for the next Ars Electronica Festival in his session.

The conference programme will be complemented with workshops, performances, an exhibition and a film programme. Here, the highlights will include a workshop with the clown David Tann and performances by a number of sound artists from Taiwan. The speakers are not only from other European countries, Lithuania, Greece, Cyprus, the UK and Spain. Important impetus will also come from America, Colombia and Japan. Participation in the conference is free.

The full programme can be viewed online: http://non-machines.eu/programme/
