Sonic Acts Academy 2018 Reader
Taking the form of a reader, this publication is both a playground and a radical syllabus. It presents artistic and theoretical practices that focus on experimental educational practices and the critical examination of knowledge production in the field of art. Among others it contains: a speculative essay of the on the role of museums from the year 2030 (by Nora Sternfeld); a mediation on composer and mathematician Catherine Christer Hennix; one episode from Nicole Hewitt’s project This Woman Is Called Jasna, a speculative history in nine instalments covering 20 years in the life of a woman from Vukovar who works at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague; an essay on the history of the container – the synecdoche of logistics – as part of a global system of capital by Charmaine Chua; research about sinkholes that have rapidly started appearing in the past decades on the shores of the Dead Sea by Sasha Litvintseva and Daniel Mann; and Aisteach, an imaginary archive of the Irish avant-garde curated by renowned sound artists Jennifer Walshe.
The Noise of Being
The book explores what it means to be human, to be part of a world that is an ever-changing network and invites us to speculate about the strange and anxious state of being. Among the contributions, Jennifer Gabrys discusses sensor technologies, Louis Henderson presents his cinematic practice, which focuses on the critical reading of colonial histories, and Ytasha Womack discusses how Afrofuturism facilitates different ways of navigating the world. Neworked algorithms, big data, and habituation on the internet are the focus of a conversation with Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Eyal Weizman vigorously explains the political interventions of Forensic Architecture, and Jamon Van Den Hoek examines how satellite images provide and create accounts of geopolitical conflicts.
Hereafter
This book draws from our quarter-of-a-century festival ‘celebration’, but it is not dedicated to ‘looking back’ on the way Sonic Acts, along with the world, has changed. Rather, it is devoted to finding ways of confronting and surviving the brutality of now. It contains a rare selection of critical essays on contemporary political and climate realities, colonial legacies of European projects, and racial and gender biases of contemporary technologies. Visual and textual contributions highlight an evocative approach to writing, merging field notes and memoir, to accurately capture the processes of making work fuelled by research. It also contains tender contributions that embed modes of discourse within the visual, in order to gauge the complexities and interconnections of this crisis and re-imagine a different reality.
Dread
Constantly changing technology and growing communication networks give mankind ever more choices and options. however, every technological innovation has its counterpart: the military, administrative, existential crash; catastrophe looms. Virilio: 'the innovation of the ship also meant a new form of shipwreck'. This imminent, hard to interpret threat evokes feelings of 'dread'. Dread is an essential and potentially productive element of the human consciousness, and according to the contributors to this volume, a defining characteristic of the present-day condition humaine. Closely related to anxiety and fear, the concept of dread is associated with the 'dizziness of freedom', as proposed by Søren Kierkegaard in 1844

Fenix
Van Bellen kruipt in Fenix weer in de huid van zijn alter ego Beer van Munster. De setting is Club Fenix, een unieke, beruchte en wereldberoemde club waar afwijkend gedrag niet bestraft, maar juist uitbundig gevierd wordt. Een plek die de bakermat wordt van house en waar een weergaloos gesamtkunstwerk ontstaat vol muziek, performances, decors, mode en beeldende kunst. Maar ook de plek waar roekeloosheid, aids en zelfdestructie diepe wonden achterlaten. Fenix is een veelkoppig verhaal over transformatie en de zoektocht naar liefde en bestaansrecht. Een verhaal waarin Van Bellen met zijn wervelende en met humor doorspekte stijl de kleurrijke personages die de RoXY tot de voorhoede van de tijdsgeest maakten tot leven weet te wekken - en te eren.
Small Gods
Small Gods deconstructs the mythology of the drone: as soothing sound, aerial spy, and killing machine. When we say 'drone technology,' we can mean the tanpura, a plucked-string instrument originating in 16th century India, or the Gorgon Stare, an aerial surveillance technology designed by the US military - and evoke competing notions of terror and transcendence. Small Gods leans into this ambiguity. As each chapter focuses on the work of an artist with a unique understanding of 'the drone', the book illuminates myriad facets of these entangled technological entities. Opening with William Basinki's first glimpse of the ash-clouds of 9/11 - which spawned both The Disintegration Loops and the ...
De theatermaker als onderzoeker
De term ‘onderzoek’ wordt steeds vaker expliciet gebruikt in beschrijvingen van de theaterpraktijk. Soms slaat onderzoek op het maakproces zelf. Soms juist op een specifieke vorm van theater, een bepaalde instelling van makers of een bijzonder gebruik van theatrale middelen. De theatermaker als onderzoeker brengt bijdragen bijeen van theatermakers en wetenschappelijk onderzoekers, waarin het artistieke onderzoeksproces tegen het licht gehouden wordt. Als maken onderzoeken is, wat voor onderzoek is dat dan? Wat voor methoden worden er gebruikt? Wat is het doel van het theatrale onderzoek? Hoe verhoudt onderzoek in theater en dans zich tot andere vormen van onderzoek? Hoe verhoudt zich het...
Corridors
We spend our lives moving through passages, hallways, corridors, and gangways, yet these channeling spaces do not feature in architectural histories, monographs, or guidebooks. They are overlooked, undervalued, and unregarded, seen as unlovely parts of a building’s infrastructure rather than architecture. This book is the first definitive history of the corridor, from its origins in country houses and utopian communities in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, through reformist Victorian prisons, hospitals, and asylums, to the “corridors of power,” bureaucratic labyrinths, and housing estates of the twentieth century. Taking in a wide range of sources, from architectural history to fiction, film, and TV, Corridors explores how the corridor went from a utopian ideal to a place of unease: the archetypal stuff of nightmares.
