Vulnerable materials in vulnerable spaces
16mm filmmaking as a method of architectural research
 
In the summer of 2023, Anna Ulrikke Andersen, an architectural historian and filmmaker (NTNU, media department), spent four weeks in Montenegro, making a film about Norwegian patients with rheumatism traveling here for treatment and rehabilitation — a medical treatment-connection that has continued since the 1970s. She understands working with analog filmmaking (a rather fragile and “outdated" technology) as an opportunity to open up conversations around vulnerable bodies.

Yvonne Rainer and Shu Lea Cheang

 

Yvonne Rainer: Where's the Passion? Where's the Politics?

TuringGaia | The Making of Behavioral Media


Martinus Suijkerbuijk & sound artist Øystein Fjeldbo present and reflect on: 


How to create a character? That acts and learns autonomously—not a character to play with, not as part of a story, but embedded in a virtual ecology. How might this character narrate and communicate? 

Martinus and Øystein provide insights into the PhD research project TuriaGaia, and unfold the complex interrelationships behind the scenes and screens of the installation. What mechanics are operative behind the scenes and how are technological AI-tools tailored to the aesthetic process that made TuringGaia possible?

Šárka Zahálková (Czech Republic) is an artist, curator, cultural manager, and activist. She is PhD candidate at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, currently staying in Trondheim as an artist-in residence at LKV. Her work reflects a sincere commitment to art as a vehicle for social change and a means of reimagining public spaces. Rooted in acoustic ecology and collective, non-hierarchical practices, her projects foster collaboration across disciplines. Walking, listening, and working with a sensitivity to place are essential to her artistic and curatorial practice, as are connections with communities, artists, architects, and theorists. Her artistic research often takes the form of (audio/acoustic) walks, incorporating binaural field recordings to engage deeply with the environment.
