22 - midterm week, 3d printing, and first draft thesis submissions

This week fast-forwards. It’s post Spring Break, it’s midterm week and it’s go time for thesis drafts!

Monday started it all off with our thesis writing class where everyone debriefed their difficulties. Lilian covered the requirements for the writing and the bibliography. We each had particular misgivings and questions but the overall attitude was just to get it done.

Tuesday Rica and I went to 3d printing class to see how the equipment in 303 worked and didn’t work…and then worked again. These 3d printers are quite fickle. It reminds me of when the internet was a thing and loading one page could take an entire day. After 3 hours Rica managed to print a mock-up of his final project. He was pretty chuffed! Later that night we had a makeup class on Ethic and Social Responsibility. Half of the lecture was wrapping up arguments about how capitalism takes the shine, drains the drive and can sometimes warp design. How does one work in legitimate projects without playing the fiddle to capitalism?  The other half of the lecture was an intro to Man vs. Nature with a William McDonough TedTalk about circular design. Oh cradle to cradle for the win! I wish we had started here since THIS is what tugs on my mind. Wednesday we had a visit with Sabine about our individual projects. [I do a skype call since Wednesdays are my workshop days and I’m normally testing prototypes at PCA.] By the end of the day messages on whatsapp slowed way down and keyboard tacking sped up. Tackity-tap-tap. We all worked to spiffy up our thesis drafts in time for the Thursday submission. Thursday the Sprout Workshop hosted the final lecture. Our group presented a future forecast of Ikea becoming IKEA-gro in the future scenario where we all live in solar punk communities and IKEA provides a nature consultant for in-house gardening and biomimicry products. Other teams present on Uber, IBM and even H&M. Who knew that we could all future forecast something beyond Black Mirror dystopias? [Hang tight for final presentations and posters at end-of-year show!] The future looks bright and green.

Thursday night the lecture series brought in a leader from the social business sector. Her name is Caroline Delboy and she is the Global Happy Team Leader for the social business accelerator MakeSense. Her lecture was mostly about her personal journey. She started in business background but new opportunities brought Disco Soup http://discosoupe.org, makers movement and finally into joining MakeSense community where she switched careers. She gave advice to all of the artists/photographers/social-impact-designers in the room to be true to your passions (what makes your heart break) and try to sync it with how you work best (when do you find yourself in the flow). Crossing my fingers we are all that lucky! After lecture there was an exhibit in the PCA gallery where our colleagues in Transdisciplinary New Media were presenting their work in a show called “Sound/Speech/Noise” with students from  ESAT (Escuela Superior de Arte y Tecnologia) in Valencia. So we got to walk through, talk with our friends, hear their ideas and see folded paper dresses, cubes for communication and gestural sound emotions.

Friday morning was another round of edits and visits with Lilian for the thesis drafts. It’s a safe space in a meeting with Lilian and she gives great advice for writer’s block. Afterwards the weekend finally drifted into view. I pounced on a real escape from non-stop studies, prototypes and work. It’s time to see an exhibit, take in a movie (Black Panther!), and take a walk outside - it’s almost springtime!

10.13.2017 Two packed days of seminars about jewelry at @museedartmodernedeparis and @pariscollegeofart ended with dinner and party. Lovely to meet people for first time, to connect with folks I’ve only known thru social media, and to reconnect with students I’d met when I presented at zimmerhoff in 2012 at the invitation of la garantie

His Personal Trajectory and Views in Art: An Interview with Alejandro Duque

By Claire Leggett

On October 10th, 2015 we had an incredible opportunity of interviewing Alejandro Duque, an artist from Columbia who recently finished his PHD dissertation in Switzerland at the European Graduate School. We sought to discuss four topics through our interview: how he arrived at the development of his current work/research, the topic of his drone projects, his interest in exploring sound as a medium, and his views on low tech/open source.

—

Alejandro attended the European Graduate School located in Leuk, Switzerand for a PHD developing in his arts practice. His undergraduate degree was done in Columbia. He then did a masters in Spain on media and net based art. His masters work sought to show artworks seen only on a computer from home. He states that the goal was to “deny authorship” as an artist and get away from the “me” mentality that was happening as a trend within artist circles at the end of the 90s. He returned to Columbia after he received his masters, and was a professor at his old university in visual arts for a year and a half. He decided to return to school to do his PHD so he could develop and learn more about the computer as his chosen medium in his artwork, for him, “as a painter would like to learn more about his pencils or his brushes,” he says. He felt he could go a tech route, or he could explore this medium in its history and philosophy, then out of that knowledge, develop in it as a vehicle for ideas. He decided to go with the latter.

He states that his works and research are thus a cross-section between social critique, philosophy and technology: he is processing/presenting the works as a fusion of these. In his drone works he is playing with the ideas of flying being at the surface fun, while presenting the socio-political controversy of drones used as military technology. He films kids throwing stones at drones with several statements including neutrally presenting that it is a time of accessibility of hobby-ing to create one’s own weapons. (The stones, although they seem real in the videos, for safety, they are in fact made of foam to ensure in the filming process no one would be hurt).

For Alejandro, from filming drones to addressing just what the ear captures, his movement to bring sound investigations into his work started from a desire to implement/present sounds that would not easily be heard. This area of investigation has an extremely high allurement for him especially from exploring radio as a medium. He started recording space shuttles going by. Sound defined as ‘in noise’ informs his philosophically approached dissertation. For him, sound is a path to get into another realm, approached through experimentation.

His doctorate took seven to eight years and his most influential professor came from approaches which encourages experimentation in artworks. Through his masters and PHD, he states he learned to emphasize discoveries achieved in the process and collaboration of executing the concept at hand vs. striving just for an end result. Even though the end result is still important, the process guides you to this point not visa versa. He states that his task is to decolonize with art. To achieve this in a healthy work-life balance, he shares that “[he] fights [his] own fight to secure that space” to create the work that is needed, to have free time and to experiment.

We concluded with Alejandro’s views on the use of open source in art today. He says in terms of artists even approaching writing about their work that we live in a time of “how to” and not a time of manifestos. As for ideologies: he esteems a value of open source materials, as they are resources that people create in their free time curtailed out of their passions. As an example, open source code he says, is actually artistic in nature. He states that additionally with these resources that there is immediate collaborative potential. The artist can re-purpose or integrate the open source code into their work. For him, artists have an ethical call to make in protecting the rights to their work or not/in making decisions if people pay to use the artist’s ideas or not. He uses the example of the book Do lt (curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist), which walks you through principles on curatorial methods, but, if used, you have to pay for the rights to follow the curatorial instructional steps. He finds this extremely ironic and harkens that using creative commons and copy left, for example, instead are excellent principles to follow to further Art.

To further gain access to his writings on these topics and more, Alejandro states that he aims to have his dissertation accessible online in the form of a free-download in the next year.
