COMPOST /AS/ COMPOSITION : AN ARCHEOLOGY OF AUTO-EATING
(2024)
author(s): Anna Nygren
published in: Research Catalogue
This exposition is a free but un-in-dependent (yes yes complex) reflexion from my ongoing research project on auto/theory aut/istic art/istic achive work is presented as a multi-media work-in-progress chewing itself and re-inventing different ways of re-using it's own material and philosophical heritage. It combines the professional with amateurism, naïveté, affection, private stuff, too-strange-de/signs. The project considers weird and possibly feminist ways of regarding the self as, a kind of digestive system, never separated from bodily metabolism, never separated from earthly or cosmic re-livings of materials and ideas and desires. It works through queer and neuroqueer formulations of textual and textile lives and matters.
Togetherness as Planetary Rule: a multilayered coalescent existance.

A big challenge and mission of this meta-times we live in, is making sense of what is going on when everything is so drastically accelerated. We belong to a strcture of manifested order that we dont understand, so we feel lost and fall in the trap of replicating certain dynamics that are more and more clearly "misleading".
How much we open to flexible and various understandings of life, of time, of mater, will bring us more or less capacities to evolve and move beyond the paradigms that rule our minds, emotions, bodies, and spirits...
My bet is that Art can also be a social tool that can allow cohesion and regeneration as it can bring together different material or ethereal realms, perspectives, affections, etc, representing or potrayng an interacting and overlapping whole that can be grasped and used by US as an expanded way to perceive and interact with reality...
Η ΑΝΑΠΝΟΗ ΚΑΙ Η ΣΤΑΣΗ ΤΟΥ ΣΩΜΑΤΟΣ, ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΙΔΑΝΙΚΗ ΠΑΡΑΓΩΓΗ ΤΟΥ ΉΧΟΥ ΜΕ ΈΜΦΑΣΗ ΣΤΟ ΌΜΠΟΕ.

Η αναπνοή και η στάση του σώματος,
για την ιδανική παραγωγή του ήχου με έμφαση στο όμποε.
Συγγράφηκε στα πλαίσια του διδάσκοντος μαθήματος: Παιδαγωγική και Διδακτική Οργάνου ΙΙΙ, του Τμήματος
Μουσικών Σπουδών, του Ιόνιου Πανεπιστημίου, το έτος 2016.
Ο σκοπός της εργασίας είναι διττός, να δοθεί μία σύντομη περιγραφή της λειτουργίας του αναπνευστικού συστήματος με τεκμηριωμένα παραδείγματα, πώς η ''ορθή'' στάση του σώματος επηρεάζει την λειτουργία του αναπνευστικού συστήματος. Αλλά και να συμβάλλει στον τρόπο διδασκαλίας της αναπνοής, για μία ιδανική παραγωγή του ήχου, κυρίως στο όργανο - όμποε, όπου έχει ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά λόγω της φυσιολογίας του οργάνου.
Επιπλέον, όσον αφορά την τεχνική της αναπνοής δίνει μία εναλλακτική οπτική, πέρα το ''μηχανικό'' στοιχείο της, αλλά περισσότερο ως ένα αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της μουσικής γλώσσας, με ποιοτικά χαρακτηριστικά. Συμπληρωματικά, παρουσιάζονται διάφορες ασκήσεις για την αναπνοή, με την κάθε άσκηση να αποσκοπεί σε έναν διαφορετικό σκοπό. Οι ασκήσεις κυρίως αφορούν τους ομποΐστες, λόγω του ιδιαίτερου συνδυασμού της αναπνοής με το καλάμι του όμποε και των ποικίλων χαρακτηριστικών του.

Reproducing Coercion - An exploration on the reproduction of ideology in cults and capitalism

Reproducing coercion consists of a book and a film: both pieces of work compliment each other and provide a detailed exploration of authoritarian group (commonly referred to as cults) coercive techniques. The films offer visual poetics that support the scientific work and portray the end results of the techniques explored - from the perspective(s) of cult members.
The film:
Journeying into the intangible and often legitimate yet immoral tools of control, manipulation and precaritization used by high-pressure groups, the scientific work offers insight into common characteristics that help identify and analyze coercive groups, regardless of their ideology or area of operation.
The written part:
The written work on the other hand, delves into an exploration of capitalism (in its various forms and historical structures within western context), and the common characteristics class - based societies exhibit with coercive groups. More notably, the focus is on the reproduction of ideology and the functions of Ideological State Apparatuses in replicating class exploitation and aiding in its internalization.
The topics in this work, explored with an experimental approach, incorporating the author’s personal experiences and recollections, while referencing films he’s produced on the subject matter.
The structure:
The first part seeks to identify the characteristics of high-demand groups; it also delves into an overview of Althusser’s theories on the reproduction of ideology.
The second part explores the parallels between various forms of capitalist ideology and high-demand groups, while focusing more on absolute thought, language and precaritization.
The third part journeys into labour, hierarchy, and compartmentalization of the workplace, exploring how systems are reproduced and how they endure through repetition.
By comparing cult coercion methods to the reproduction of capitalism, the thesis seeks to offer a unique perspective on how ideology is reproduced, irrespective of the doctrine.
The Auditory Weave of Saturday Art School in Three Movements
(2024)
author(s): Ilayda Altuntas Nott
published in: Research Catalogue
This article delves into the immersive auditory landscape of Saturday Art School at a North Eastern University in the United States, exploring the profound role of sound in shaping creative environments. The paper employs three distinct movements (noise, clapping, and silence) as a trilogy of unraveling the intricate interplay between sound, text, and artistic expression. The visually performative writing reveals the transformative power of sound in the art classroom, highlighting the potential of embodied sound knowledge to shape our daily experiences and foster meaningful connections of noise, clapping, and silence. In this exploration, the boundaries between art and sound dissolve, inviting readers to engage in a multisensory journey where the interplay of sound and visuals fosters a new perspective on artistic expression and the relationship between individuals and their environment.
