Z veseljem napovedujemo naslednje poglavjue KIBLIX spletnih seminarjev, serijo štirih spletnih srečanj, ki jih bo vodila kuratorka in kritičarka Irena Borić
v sodelovanju z različnimi umetnicami in umetniki. Namen spletnih seminarjev je ustvariti prostor za skupni premislek, diskusijo in izmenjavo znanja. Vsebinsko se bomo v vseh štirih srečanjih navezali na izbrane razstave mednarodnih umetnikov, ki smo jih v prostorih galerije KiBela in artKIT izvedli v letošnjem letu.
Vsa srečanja bodo potekala preko spletne platforme
ZOOM in v živo na socialnih omrežjih RUK in KIBLA. Jezik pogovora bomo prilagodili glede na udeležence (slovenščina ali angleščina). Spletni seminarji so namenjeni širokemu občinstvu, od udeležencev se ne pričakuje strokovnega predznanja; vljudno sicer priporočamo, da udeleženci vnaprej preberejo predlagana besedila (na voljo v slovenščini ali angleščini), in naprošamo, da za registracijo udeležbe ter besedila, pošljejo email sporočilo na naslov irena.boric@kibla.org. Registracija je le informativnega značaja in ni obvezujoča.
V okviru tokratnega seminarja se bomo seznanili z umetniško prakso Sare Bezovšek, umetnice, ki skozi umetniško prakso apropriacije raziskuje vplive internetne kulture in spletnih družbenih medijev na sodobno vizualno umetnost. Diskusija bo temeljila na besedilu digitalnega teoretika Douglasa Rushkoffa The Digital Media Environment (Digitalno medijsko okolje), objavljenem v njegovi knjigi Team Human. Pogovarjali bomo se o digitalnem okolju in njegovem vplivu na domnevanje resničnosti. Kot pravi avtor: “Bolj ko sprejemamo zaslon kot okno v resničnost, bolj verjetno bomo sprejeli izbire, ki jih ponuja. Toda kaj pa možnosti, ki jih ne ponuja? Ali res ne obstajajo?”

Totalni razpad
Spletni seminar s Teo Stražičić
Torek, 26. 1., ob 18. uri
V okviru tokratnega seminarja se bomo seznanili z umetniško prakso Tee Stražičić, umetnice, ki se izraža skozi digitano umetnost in tradicionalne medije. Diskusija bo temeljila na poglavju iz knjige Snow Crash Neala Stephensona, znanstvenofantastične cyberpunk zgodbe, v kateri se popularizira izraz avatar in je hkrati bil inspiracija za industrijo videoiger. Kot lahko preberete: “Seveda ne vidi resničnih ljudi. To je vse del gibajoče se ilustracije, ki jo je računalnik ustvaril v skladu s specifikacijami, ki prihajajo po optičnem kablu. Ljudje so del programske opreme, imenujejo se avatarji. So avdiovizualna telesa, ki med seboj komunicirajo v Metaverse.”

Umetnost, tehnologija in humanizem
Spletni seminar z Terezo Teklić (KONTEJNER)
Torek, 2. 2., ob 18. uri
V okviru tokratnega seminarja se bomo seznanili s kuratorsko prakso zagrebškega kolektiva Kontejner, čigavr delo temelji na progresivni sodobni umetnosti, ki raziskuje vlogo in pomen znanosti, tehnologije in telesa v naši družbi, s poudarkom na provokativne, fascinantne ter intrigantne subjekte in teme, ki jih družba percipira kot tabuje. Diskusija bo temeljila na besedilu medijskega teoretika Borisa Groysa Art, Technology, and Humanism, v katerem piše: “Umetniške prakse in diskurzi klasične avantgarde so bili na nek način predogled pogojev, pod katerimi v sodobnem medijskem svetu obstajajo naša druga, samoproducirana umetna telesa. Elementi teh teles – umetniška dela, knjige, filmi, fotografije – krožijo po vsem svetu v razpršeni oblik.”.

Resničnostni posel. Imperativ napovedi
Spletni seminar s kolektivom BridA/Tom Kerševan, Sendi Mango, Jurij Pavlica
Torek, 9. 2., ob 18. uri
V okviru tokratnega seminarja se bomo seznanili z umetniško prakso kolektiva BridA, čigar delo temelji na razmišljanju o procesih in vlogah v okviru sodobne umetnosti, po načelu umetniškega povezovanja in skupinskega delovanja raziskujejo vplive internetne kulture in spletnih družbenih medijev na sodobno vizualno umetnost. Diskusija bo temeljila na besedilu filozofinje Shoshanae Zuboff objavljenem v njeni knjigi The Age of Surveillance Capitalism; v poglavju pod naslovom The Reality Business. The Prediction Imperative avtorica razlaga povezanost predvidevanja in nadzornega kapitalizma. Kot pravi: “Nadzorni kapitalisti se morajo zato vprašati: Katere oblike presežkov omogočajo izdelavo izdelkov za napovedovanje, ki najbolj zanesljivo napovedujejo prihodnost? To vprašanje pomeni kritično prelomnico pri izdelavi nadzornega kapitalizma s poskusi in napakami. Izkristalizira drugi gospodarski imperativ – imperativ napovedi – in razkrije močan pritisk, ki ga izvaja na nadzor kapitalističnih prihodkov.”

As part of this seminar, we will get acquainted with the artistic practice of Sara Bezovšek. Through the artistic practice of appropriation, she is an artist who explores the influences of Internet culture and online social media on contemporary visual art. The discussion will be based on the digital theorist Douglas Rushkoff’s text The Digital Media Environment, published in his book Team Human. We will discuss the digital environment and its impact on the assumption of reality. As the author says: „The more we accept the screen as a window on reality, the more likely we are to accept the choices it offers. But what about the choices that it doesn’t offer? Do they actually not exist?”

Snow Crash
Webinar with Tea Stražičić
Tuesday, 26 January, at 6 p. m.
As part of this seminar, we will get acquainted with the artistic practice of Tea Stražičić, an artist who expresses herself through digital art and traditional media. The talk will be based on a chapter from Neal Stephenson’s book Snow Crash. This sci-fi cyberpunk story popularizes the term avatar and has also been an inspiration to the video game industry. In it, the author states: „He is not seeing real people, of course. It is all a part of the moving illustration drawn by his computer according to specifications coming down the fiber-optic cable. The people are pieces of software called avatars. They are the audiovisual bodies that people use to communicate with each other in the Metaverse.”

Art, Technology, and Humanism
Webinar with Tereza Teklić (KONTEJNER/CONTAINER)
Tuesday, 2 February, at 6 p.m.
As part of this seminar, we will get acquainted with the curatorial practice of the Zagreb collective Kontejner. Their work is based on progressive contemporary art, which explores the role and importance of science, technology, and the body in our society, emphasizing provocative, fascinating, and intriguing subjects that society perceives as taboo. The discussion will be based on the text of media theorist Boris Groys Art, Technology, and Humanism. It states: „The artistic practices and discourses of the classical avant-garde were in a certain way prefigurations of the conditions under which our second, self-produced, artificial bodies exist in the contemporary media world. The elements of these bodies – artworks, books, films, photos – circulate globally in a dispersed form.”

Reality Business. The Prediction Imperative
Webinar with BridA / Tom Kerševan, Sendi Mango, Jurij Pavlica
Tuesday, 9 February, at 6 p.m.
As part of this seminar, we will get acquainted with the artistic practice of the BridA collective. Their work is based on thinking about processes and roles in contemporary art, on the principle of artistic connection, and group work exploring the effects of internet culture and online social media on contemporary visual art. The discussion will be based on a text by philosopher Shoshanae Zuboff published in her book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, in the chapter entitled The Reality Business. The Prediction Imperative author explains the connection between anticipation and supervisory capitalism. She says: „ Surveillance capitalists, therefore, must ask this: What forms of surplus enable the fabrication of prediction products that most reliably foretell the future? This question marks a critical turning point in the trial-and-error elaboration of surveillance capitalism. It crystallizes the second economic imperative – the prediction imperative – and reveals the intense pressure that it exerts on surveillance capitalist revenues.”
