SUMMARY:In the Making #12: On Algorithmic Cultures:  Prediction\, Simulation\, and the Incalculable Model| 22 May 2025|19:00|West\, Den Haag
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to be part of this session of the public series In the Making\, a joint collaboration between The Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) of Leiden University and Art Institute West Den Haag. This session will be presented by Femke Herregraven\, and include Dr. Marleen Stikker and ReCNTR’s own Dr. Francesco Ragazzi as discussants. \n\nPrediction\, Simulation\, and the Incalculable Model\nThrough a series of recent works\, this talk explores the modelling and financialization of the future. It reflects on how\, rather than rejecting technology\, technological tools can be repurposed to experiment with image making when perception collapses\, to escape the categorisation of the model\, and how to speak when language no longer suffices. How can the entanglement of language\, code\, matter\, and predictive structures become a new protocol for image and art making? Underpinning this talk is the question of artistic research method and what a method means within a state of vertigo and disorientation. \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nFemke Herregraven’s work explores the effects of abstract value systems on landscapes\, ecosystems\, historiography\, and daily life. Her research into the interaction between financial markets\, risks\, and the physical world forms the foundation for her iterative sculptures\, drawings\, films\, and hybrid installations. Over the past decade\, she has focused on financial\, geological\, and climatological self-organizing systems that both shape and disrupt daily life. A recurring theme in her work is the financialization of the future as crisis\, which she examines through catastrophe bonds as a set of potential distributions of risk and catastrophe. Her work employs textual\, computational\, and gestural languages to reflect on how these contemporary future models shape the experience of reality and the very ground on which it stands. Herregraven is an alumnus of the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam (2017-2018)\, and obtained the Creator Doctus title at the Sandberg Institute in 2024. She was shortlisted for the 2019 Prix de Rome\, awarded the Evens Arts Prize 2023 and the Theodora Niemeijer Prize in 2025. \n  \nDiscussants: \nDr. Marleen Stikker is founder and executive director of Waag Futurelab in Amsterdam. Waag Futurelab reinforces critical reflection on technology\, develops technological and social design skills\, and encourages social innovation. Marleen leads the trans-disciplinary team of designers\, artists and scientists\, utilising Public Research and Key Enabling Methodologies to empower people to participate in the collective design of open\, fair and inclusive futures. Marleen founded ‘De Digitale Stad’ (The Digital City) in 1993\, the first virtual community introducing free public access to the Internet in Amsterdam. In 2021 she was appointed professor of practice by HvA\, the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. \nDr. Francesco Ragazzi is associate professor in International Relations at Leiden University (Netherlands) and co-director of ReCNTR. Francesco has directed and produced several documentary films. In his current collective research project SECURITY VISION Francesco explores\, through quantitative\, qualitative\, film and coding methods\, the security uses of computer vision in areas such as biometric surveillance\, social media content moderation and border control. \n  \nRegister for a free ticket here \n  \nImage Credit: Femke Herregraven\, exhibition at Radius (Delft\, 2025)

SUMMARY:Talk + Gaming Workshop: Zoo as a Future Heritage|28 May 2025|14:00|Leiden University
DESCRIPTION:SIMMR (Student Initiative for Multimodal Methods in Research) is delighted to announce its first student-led event: a book talk/presentation by designer Terezie Štindlova\, followed by a participatory gaming workshop by artist-researcher Yun-Pei Hsuing. \n  \nEvent Description: \nThis combined talk and gaming workshop explores participatory art designed to engage the public in reimagining zoos for a better future. Zoos\, as cultural and political constructs\, have complex origins rooted in imperialism and power\, and their heritage narratives are often shaped by anthropomorphic and human-centred top-down decisions. By diving into participatory modes of conducting design research\, this lecture-workshop seeks to incorporate speculative thinking into communal acts of creation for reimagining zoos and their cultural heritage as constitutive of human-animal relations. \nIn the first part\, invited artist and designer Terezie Śtindlova will provide a firsthand introduction to her captivating book\, Zoo Index\, which examines the (un)relevance of zoos and how they shape our gaze towards nonhuman animals\, to ourselves and one another. Following her presentation\, artist-researcher Yun-Pei Hsuing will lead a board-game workshop to develop design research methods where participants will explore alternative and speculative futures for zoos through various gameplay strategies. \n  \nTimetable: \n14:00 – 15:00: Lecture by Terezie Štindlová: The Making of Zoo Index: An Introduction\n15:00 – 15:15: Break (Tea and snacks)\n15:15 – 16:30: Gaming Workshop by Yun-Pei Hsuing \n  \nLocation: \nJohan Huizinga Building\, Room 0.11 (Journalism Lab)\, Leiden University (Doelensteeg 16. Leiden) \n  \nAbout the Artists: \nTerezie Štindlová is a designer\, one half of a non-workaholic studio Day Shift Office\, a concrete office chair maker and a founder of the ZOO Index project. Her research dives into the (un)necessity of zoos in contemporary society in connection with current office culture\, shedding light on the power dynamics of labour and control exerted through (human) design. She graduated from Werkplaats Typografie in 2023 and is currently based in Amsterdam. \nBorn in 1985 and raised in Taipei\, Taiwan\, Yun-Pei Hsiung is a graduate of the Royal College of Art in Design Products. His practice focuses on creating tools and participatory workshops\, using social sculpture to inspire collective action. His work frequently engages with themes of public space\, social housing\, neo-capitalism\, and Taiwan’s geopolitical landscape. Additionally\, Yun-Pei utilises drawing as a medium for self-expression\, exploring and expressing his queer Asian identity. \n\n\n  \n\n\n  \n  \n
