Cultural Matter: Jan Robert Leegte on the Performing Machine

On Wednesday 18 December artist Jan Robert Leegte will give a lecture on 'the performing machine'. From a technical and theoretical perspective he will explain how the computer is fundamentally performative.

No scary black blobs on jumping white backgrounds, but trying to...

Cultural Matter: Jonas Lund - Opening event with Florian Cramer (Pt.I)

Can contemporary art - and the production thereof - be optimized and automated? In 2013, the artist Jonas Lund made a solo exhibition based on this simple yet critical and challenging question. The Fear Of Missing Out, held at MAMA, Rotterdam, would become a landmark exhibition in which the algorithm played a leading role, a show that was of great influence on his later work. The works produced for The Fear Of Missing Out were not the direct result of Lund’s labour and ideas, but made by a computer algorithm written by him.

I am a tool of gentrification is an experimental documentary series by Lyobov Matyunina in which she aims to explore complex shifts in the gentrification process of Amsterdam.

Art Machines 0.1 - Talk: Joost Rekveld at Sensorlab

CCU and LIMA invite you for an inspiring evening with Joost Rekveld, the Dutch master of media art and experimental film. For years now, Joost has been motivated by the question of what we can learn from a dialogue with machines. In his work, he explores the sensory consequences of systems of his own design, often inspired by forgotten corners in the history of science and technology. The evening is introduced by Sanneke Huisman (LIMA media art platform, followed by Joost his talk in which he takes you through his extensive oeuvre and thereby gives a refreshing perspective on the history of media art and science.
