SUMMARY:Conversations in and on the Activation of Archives | 7 June 2024 | 10am -17pm | Netherlands Fotomuseum  (Rotterdam)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a series of conversations as part of a symposium presented by The Networked Audience @ MA Photography & Society // Royal Academy of Art\, in collaboration with Nederlands Fotomusem and ReCNTR. These conversations will take place within the exhibition ‘I wish there was color\, I wish there was sound’\, which displays long term collaborative archive activations initiated by Andrea Stultiens.   \n\nWith the emergence of digitisation\, the entanglement between photography as a contemporary mode of picture production and archives as entities in which photographs are kept has gained prominence in both artistic practices and academic discourses. Digital reproduction of photographs affords modes of distribution in which connections are easily both made and lost while networking audiences in formal and informal ways. Meanwhile practitioners\, researchers and audiences are guided by a wide and sometimes wild range of ethical\, ideological and economic concerns. \n\n\n\nDuring this symposium\, the consequences of these developments and concerns will be discussed through a series of conversations between individuals whose rich spectrum of experiences and expertise result from their diverse artistic and/or academic practices\, including ReCNTR’s Acting Director Mark Westmoreland. \n\n\n\nThe symposium is free to attend but registration is required due to limited available space and seats. Please register Here.   \n  \nAbout the Exhibition: \nPaul Julien (1901 – 2001) embarked on numerous journeys to Africa between 1932 and 1962\, a period marked by European colonization and missionary activities. During his travels\, he gathered scientific data from local communities\, employing methods rooted in colonial practices. Julien published four photo books and hosted a popular radio program discussing his African experiences. Upon his passing\, his photographic collection was entrusted to the Nederlands Fotomuseum. Artist and researcher Andrea Stultiens has since critically examined Julien’s work\, particularly its portrayal of Africa\, within the exhibition ‘I wish there was colour\, I wish there was sound’. Collaborating with African stakeholders\, Stultiens presents alternative perspectives on Julien’s images\, contextualizing them within contemporary discourse and employing diverse techniques like re-photography and collective making. The exhibition\, divided into five sections focusing on different regions\, invites visitors to engage with the photographs\, acknowledging their aesthetic appeal alongside their complex historical and cultural implications.

SUMMARY:Obscuro Barroco Film Screening+ Q&A | 7 June 2024 | 19:30 | Netherlands Film Academy (Amsterdam)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Evangelia Kranioti’s film Obscuro Barroco\, for our first collaboration with the Netherlands Film Academy Master in Film! The film will be introduced by art-filmmaker and PhD student Cyan Bae in the context of Evangelia’s body of work. After the screening\, there will be an extended Q&A that will locate Obscuro Barroco in relation to Evangelia’s other films\, led by Cyan Bae and Diana Toucedo.   \n  \n\nObscuro Barroco is an audiovisual project on the dizzying heights of gender in a land of extremes\, a photographic series and a two-channel video installation (Ecstasy Must Be Forgotten\, 31’). The project as a whole explores the many facets of Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil at a time when carnival and political struggles are converging. Since its immemorial origins\, the carnival has been a moment of metamorphosis\, when evil spells are countered against a background of inversion and social upheaval. Following the path of iconic transgender activist Luana Muniz (1961-2017)\, Obscuro Barroco addresses body politics\, post-colonialism and identity issues\, while questioning the desire for transformation of the body\, both intimate and social. \n  \n\n\n\nCyan Bae (filmmaker and PhD student at Leiden University) will be introducing the film in the context of Evangelia’s body of work. Together with Diana Toucedo (filmmaker and core team member of the Master of film)\, they will have a conversation with Evangelia about her process and methods of work\, locating Obscuro Barroco in relation to Evangelia’s other films. The conversation will center the themes of identity\, gender and queerness that resonate throughout Evangelia’s body of work\, including her latest film\, “The Rites of Spring”. \n  \n  \n Evangelia Kranioti is a Greek-born award winning visual artist and director based in Paris and working with film\, photography and installation. She studied law (National University of Athens) and piano (National Conservatory of Athens)\, as well as visual arts (École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris) and cinema (Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains\, Atelier Scénario La Fémis). In 2016 she received two Hellenic Film Academy Iris awards (Best Directorial Debut & Best Documentary) for her debut documentary feature Exotica\, Erotica\, Etc. (73’\, 2015). The film premiered at the Berlinale Forum and screened in various international festivals (IDFA\, BFI London\, Göteborg IFF\, Karlovy Vary IFF\, Sarajevo IFF etc) receiving numerous awards (Emerging International Filmmaker Award at Toronto Hot Docs\, Audience award at Films de Femmes Créteil etc). In 2019\, her solo show The Living\, the Dead and Those at Sea at Les Rencontres d’Arles\, was awarded with the Madame Figaro Women in Motion Prize. More recently\, Evangelia Kranioti was a resident fellow at the Villa Médicis\, Académie de France à Rome (2021-22) and an invited artist at the 75th anniversary edition of the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence (2023

SUMMARY:YAL and JUL Science Meets Art Exposition | 11 June 2024 | 15:00-18:00 | Lipsius\, Leiden University (Leiden)
DESCRIPTION:Join ReCNTR for the final event of the Young Academy Leiden (YAL) and Jong Universiteit Leiden (JUL)’s  Spring of Art and Science!   \n\n\n\nProgram:\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n15:00-16:00: Plenary session: featured creators/researchers discuss their pieces \n\n\n\n16:00-18:00: Exposition: time to explore the exhibits \n\n\n\n18:00 onward: Informal drinks (off program)   \n\n\n\nEvent Description\n  \n\n\n\nAs part of their ongoing Seasons of Interdisciplinarity\, YAL and JUL’s  Spring of Art and Science explores intersections between academic inquiry and artistic production. In collaboration with LIACS Mediatechnology and ReCNTR\, this exhibition aims to highlight works that employ multimodal approaches which challenge conventional notions of knowledge production and artist expression. \n\n\n \nThe exhibition provides an opportunity to explore examples of multimodality in practice and a chance to interact with artists and researchers at Leiden university working at this intersection. \n\n\n \nMore information can be found here. \n  \n\n\n \nThe event will feature the work of two of ReCNTR’s Directors\, Mark Westmoreland and Cristiana Strava. \n  \n\n\n\nMark Westmoreland: Broken Ground: Expanding Landscapes \n\n\n\nA photo-essay that recounts a collaborative research project in northern Ghana that uses kite aerial photography to introduce new environmental perspectives. Eschewing the technocentric use of drones\, the Broken Ground team adopted a more participatory and playful method for creating aerial perspectives that emphasizes community engagement. This shared process fosters generative ways of understanding the complicated relationship between the wounded history of particular places and the aspirations made possible by transforming the material world into resources.   \n\n\n\nCristiana Strava: Ori Mi Pe – Good Fortune \n\n\n\nA 12 minute video about a women’s weaving cooperative in Nigeria produced as part of the Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab between 2007-2009. The video offers an experimental and critical response to histories of ethnographic filmmaking and tries to deconstruct the colonialist\, paternalist gaze of earlier representations of ‘exotic others’.   \n\n\n\nThe event is free but registration is required due to limited space. Please register here.    \n  \nImage Credit: Mark Westmoreland from Photo essay ‘Broken Ground: Expanding Landscapes’

SUMMARY:Synthetic Vision / Images of Power Conference | 27-28 June | Framer Framed (Amsterdam)
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to invite you to the conference Synthetic Vision / Images of Power – Truth\, Evidence\, Labour & Knowledge in the Age of AI which explores the transformations induced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the interplay of power\, knowledge\, and images. \nPresenters will focus in particular on the unprecedented possibilities of these systems to generate synthetic vision\, that is\, the ability to “see” algorithmically\, and synthetic image generation\, or the ability to create new images through prompts. These transformations affect three key dimensions of the image. Firstly\, in what we term image-truth\, we are interested in the truth-value of images within contexts such as authentication\, or recognition\, in domains such as facial\, emotion and crowd recognition. But it also concerns the generation of synthetic images to mimic reality in large datasets necessary to train other algorithms. In our second exploration\, we focus on image-evidence\, specifically addressing the capacity to recognize or generate images for evidentiary purposes. This dimension holds relevance in the realms of journalism\, with considerations surrounding information\, propaganda\, and the identification of ‘fake news\,’ as well as within the legal sphere\, encompassing both the utilization of images as judicial evidence and their role in event reconstruction. Third\, we are interested in the figure of image-labour\, i.e.\, computer vision as a result of a visible and often invisible labour on the image\, of programmers\, annotators and operators. \n \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\nDay one: Thursday 27 June 2024 \n\n\n\n15:00 Introduction (Francesco Ragazzi) \n\n\n\n15:30 Opening Talk: Terror Element (Anna Engelhardt & Mark Cinkevich) \n\n\n\n16:00 – 18:30 Mapping Synthetic Vision \n\n\n\n\n16:00 Mapping as a critical method for Security Vision (Francesco Ragazzi)\n\n\n\n16:20 Documenting and Visualizing Unknowns and Uncertains in Security Vision (Francesco Luzzana\, Erica Gargaglione)\n\n\n\n16:40 Synthetic Battlefield in the Time of Dynamic Maps (Svitlana Matviyenko)\n\n\n\n17:00 Cutting through algorithmic violence (Rocco Bellanova)\n\n\n\n17:20 Discussion (chair: Donatella Della Ratta)\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nDAY TWO | Friday 28 June 2024 \n\n\n\n9:30 – 12:00 Synthetic Images in Conflict \n\n\n\n\n09:30 Tracklets: the synthetic present of movement tracking (Ruben van de Ven)\n\n\n\n09:50 From AI to paper: de-materializing and re-materializing evidence  (Kevin B Lee)\n\n\n\n10:10 Synthetic Realism: Exploring the Aesthetics and Politics of Generative AI in a time of widespread violence (Donatella Della Ratta)\n\n\n\n10:30 AI in Gaza: Image-evidence\, digital suspicion\, colonial history (Adi Kuntsman and Rebecca Stein)\n\n\n\n10:50 Discussion (chair: Francesco Ragazzi)\n\n\n\n\nAfternoon \n\n\n\n13:00 – 15:30 Strategies of Resistance \n\n\n\n\n13:00 AI to Subvert and Expose Evidence (Paolo Cirio)\n\n\n\n13:20 Synthetic Vision for Subversion (Jonathan Luke Austin & Maevia Griffiths)\n\n\n\n13:40 Image-Life (Shintaro Miyazaki)\n\n\n\n14:00 Mobile Lies: A Kinopolitics of Emotion Datasets (Cyan Bae)\n\n\n\n14:20 Discussion (chair: Rocco Bellanova)\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n16:00 – 18:30 Strategies of Resistance II \n\n\n\n\n16:00 A Tale of Two Data Centers (Marloes de Valk)\n\n\n\n16:20 Permacomputing in the arts (Aymeric Mansoux)\n\n\n\n16:40 Algorithmic accountability (Evaline Schot)\n\n\n\n17:00 Social media: Catalysts or obstacles to war crimes investigations?
