PLANETARY COLLEGIUM CAiiA-HUB SUMMER 2010 COMPOSITE SESSION PLYMOUTH

1) Luis Girão
How the knowledge and the researches you presented around brain stimulation helps testing your research hypotheses? What are yours research objectives, the hypothesis and, finally, the thesis you intend to defend? Will you have an artistic practice related to your thesis? If yes, how it will be related? Will your artistic practice help in defending your thesis?

2) Kathrine Anker
What are the basic assumptions connected to the material world view that are transformed into a world view of the wave space medium, and what is the main characteristic of this wave-space medium’s world view. Can you give some examples of the way this shift transforms the relations that we take for granted, or the vocabulary we use to describe them, or the way we relate them to particular contexts?

3) Jaromil Rojo
How a hermeneutics approach on economics could help in understanding the influence of the virtualization/ digitalization of the product of labor (the virtualization of reality? Of human activities) and the experience of time and space in social networks and online game environments?

4) Tine Melzer
How will you consider the ‘contamination’ between ‘whole and elements’ when approaching your ‘contextual ordinary language’ in relation to a ‘general ordinary language’? How about to shift from order to organization, focusing on the connections and interrelations between the elements to help discussing questions of meaning in your research?

5) Ziva Ljubec
How do you think experiments in augmented reality could explore the shift from membrane as film to membrane as filter? What about the characteristics of a ‘filter’ in an augmented reality realm/context?
suggestion: Alan Turing (1952) http://www.turingarchive.org/browse.php/B/22

6) Nadia Meinhardt
In which way the intention of using the generalist concept of ‘Digital Natives’ could helping to discuss a possible change of perception in intercultural contexts, looking for marginal changes in communication?

7) Amos Bianchi
Considering the apparatus as your central problem, before going through so many concepts around complex systems’ structure, behavior and nature, what concepts do you think could be more adequate to help you in to discuss your question and in which way they could help and being connect to the concept of apparatus? There is some intention of conceptually approach ‘apparatus’ as ‘black’ or ‘white box’ in your research?

8) Ellen Sebring
What about the methodology you are using/developing to ‘read’ the images and interpret the related meaning and to construct/re-construct narratives? A structure, a way to collect, by mapping and then be able to cross the data and found connections, discovering patterns…


9) Clarissa Ribeiro : http://gogogoch.net

10) Katerina Karoussos
How do you’ll support your arguments ‘against’ the primacy of sciences’ reality? Do you think today it is quite like to start a battle against the ‘church of reason’?

11) Linus Lancaster
Being the discussion around the language of ‘matter’ central to your research, how deep do you pretend to go in ‘deconstructing’ the notion of matter/materiality; how do you intend to defend a post-material reality?

12) Claudia Cardoso-Fleck
If you come back to the initial idea of building a ‘time machine’, do you think it could be interesting to discuss questions of time and space, going deep in the most different views and theories around it, despite they are scientific or not, and use your artistic practice to construct conceptual ‘time machines’.

13) Nasim Zamanzadeh
what is effectively the whole of media and ‘information and communication technologies’ play in your argument around environmental art in Iran? Are you intending to go, beyond Iranian context, through a discussion around the role of media in the re-presentation of environmental art in general? Are you intending to discuss the role of publicity (mass media or Internet supported) in spreading the politic’s message of the environmental artists in Iran?

14) Max Kazemzadeh
MALCOLM, Norman said that “Descartes did not mean merely that I, having dwelt in a union with my body for some years, might separated from it and yet survive in a disembodied condition. He meant that I might have existed without ever having a body.” (MALCOLM , p.6) And that “Sometime the interest of readers of Descartes declines when they come to understand that his doctrine of the separateness of mind and body does not mean an actual separation. This should not be so. Philosophy is as much interested in the possible as in the actual.” (MALCOLM , p.6) This dualism was part of his method of doubting, that is his most original contribution. Locke was talking about perception and senses… How the Descartes and Locke theories could effectively help you in to discuss your thesis around the intersection between the mystical and the technical in the ‘generation’ of ‘reality’?

15) Aleksandar Cetkovic
How this inside/outside spatial/dimensional(?) dialogues with your interest in the relation between architecture (in a material sense) and technology/medias? Do you thing could it be interesting to explore visions like the one of Cedric Price and the one of the Metabolists to discuss this thematic, focusing in a cybernetic/complex perspective?
