Things They Dont In Florida ep. 5 - Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan Mårten Spångberg 2024-04-25 | Things They Don't In Florida is a project initiated by Mårten Spångberg in collaboration with Crimson Coast Dance addressing relations between dance/performance and contemporary technology. The project's overlapping dynamics consist next to this series of conversations with artists, thinkers, activists and others, of both reflective and fiction writing and an audio-visual browser-based experience. Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan is a media theorist and historian of technology teaching in Gothenburg and London. An overarching theme of his research is how “cultural” sciences shape—and are shaped by—digital media. This concern spans his writing on the mutual constitution of cybernetics and the human sciences, ethnicity and AI, and the role of mid-twentieth century military vigilance in the development of multimedia interactivity. His attention to cultural factors in technical systems also figured in his work as a curator, notably for the Anthropocene and Technosphere projects at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Since 2023 he has been senior lecturer at Univ. of Gothenburg dept for applied IT.Things They Don't In Florida is supported by The Canada Council for the Arts and HKF.

The project's overlapping dynamics consist next to this series of conversations with artists, thinkers, activists and others, of both reflective and fiction writing and an audio-visual browser-based experience.Clara Amaral is an artist working with text and performance. Her artistic practice is situated in an interdisciplinary perspective, questioning what it means to be a reader, to be a writer, aiming to expand existing modes of reading and writing. Central to her practice is the investigation of innovative publishing modalities and the performative aspect of writing and language through an intersectional feminist approach. In January 2020 Clara initiated misted.cc. Misted.cc is an online platform: A book of sorts. Every month an artist, writer, graphic designer or curator, who uses writing in their artistic practice, contributes a text. Throughout the month the contribution vanishes in direct relation to the number of visitors, leaving, eventually, an empty website until the next contribution is published.Clara’s work She gave it to me I got it from her was published by Kunstverein Amsterdam in 2021. This volume is part of a broader research on publishing modalities and their relation to performative practices. Driven by explorations of “hand choreography”, the volume reveals personal narratives that expand into a political dimension while also focusing on the legal expression of identity and how we exist in the world.Things They Don't In Florida is supported by The Canada Council for the Arts and HKF.
