OB-SCENE @ The Politics of Performance and Play. Feminist Matters, Institute for Philosophy University of Leiden July 7 & 8
‘…if we really engage in storytelling as a sym-poietic practice, which is propositional and invitational, then we have a chance for re-worlding. Play always involves the invitation that asks ‘are we a “we”’? A “we” that does not pre-exist the propositional risk and testing.’ (Donna Haraway, 2015) This conference explores the various ‘worldmaking’ practices of play and performance in their diversity - performance art, dance, sports, and games - from a feminist materialist perspective. How does play engender innovative and emancipatory social practices and invite us to rethink the social political challenges we are facing? Play and performance, as Haraway argues, are ‘worldmaking’ practices, premised not on the already there, nor on a story of origin - a true identity, a unified people, a nature prior to capitalism - but on a people who belong to the future. As workings of fiction, play and performance cannot be reduced to the binaries of true and false, playfulness and seriousness, real life and staged life. 1st Conference on Computer Simulation of Musical Creativity (University of Huddersfield)
Invited to the panel "Creative Music Systems: Bridging the Divide Between Academia and Industry?" Anna Troisi, EMERGE Bournemouth University Graeme Bailey, Cornell University Andrew Lambert, City University London Tamer Rashad, Founder & CEO at Humtap, San Francisco Marcelo Gimenes, ICCMR Plymouth University https://csmc2016.wordpress.com/programme 9 Events, RCA with Tina O'Connell & Neal White in association with Objectif Exhibitions, Antwerp Saturday 5 March - Friday 25 March 2016 https://www.rca.ac.uk/news-and-events/events/9-events-studiorca/ Tina O'Connell and Neal White present 9 Events, a series of experiments and observations, talks and films drawn from their on-going artistic interest in the raw resources that are a key index of wealth in a market based society - from oil to diamonds and gold. The work is made in the context of emerging ideas of environmental and geological change within the flood of unchecked global capital. As with other works and projects undertaken by the artists, the space is used as a platform through which temporality can be explored. In this sense, the use of the RCA's Dyson exhibition space and its wider context for the presentation on objects or artefacts is reconfigured through perspectives of energy, action and reaction, collapse and control, via simulation, derivation, extraction and exchange. 1.Audio Soundscape.

Practice as "Search" towards a different form of knowledge. Dr Anna Troisi
“Research” has always been a tricky word when associated to the practice towards an artistic purpose. The major aim of research has always been related to a form of investigation, analysis, inspection and assessment. The epistemological intrinsic aspect of the research brought us thinking that every approach to create knowledge and awareness should pass through a research methodology to deserve the right to be validated and to produce an appreciable output. As digital artist and performer, my input material, my research pathway and my final results, collide in a mixture of scientific and artistic vibrant matter, but it is not always true that they are really so distinct. I use to code and I use my scientific background while sculpting my artistic outputs, but I never considered the practical side of my work as a standard research process but rather a “search”. I spend my academic research time looking trough physical, abstract or virtual spaces carefully to find the right interpretation for something that I already have in my mind. Instead of “researching” I look for paradigms that enable my performances to use the real world as a media. I search and my every day practice is searching towards a form of knowledge that cannot be described with scientific words such as “output” or “finding”. Do we really need to investigate, inspect or assess in order to produce arts? Additionally while being able to contextualise our artworks is of great help to enhance the philosophical potentiality of our work, will it be likewise useful for the audience to perceive a performance as a layered sliced form of expression where every detail is revealed? Is academia trying to force a different form of knowledge in a context that worked well and still works well for other forms of knowledge?

Great intense gig of Non-recursive The Engine Room for Bournemouth Emerging Arts Fringe can be listened here:https://archive.org/details/BEAF_Gig_Engine_Room
. Next gig will be 28th of January for the "Interdisciplinary Research week 2016", @BU Thanks to EMERGE and the Colab where we rehearsed. The programme included explorations of hardware-hacked devices, simple electronic instruments, data networks and basic sensors to augment and inform laptop improvisations, immersive fixed-media soundscapes Performances were by a selection of artists connected to Bournemouth University who use technology as part of their creative practice. Performers include: Anna Troisi, http://www.annatroisi.org/ Antonino Chiaramonte, http://www.antoninochiaramonte.eu/ Rob Canning, http://rob.kiben.net/ Bill Thompson, www.billthompson.org Ambrose Seddon, http://www.ambroseseddon.com/ Tom Davis, http://www.tdavis.co.uk/ Visuals by Kavi, https://vimeo.com/user324972 http://www.b-e-a-f.co.uk/event/nonrecursive/ The HyperDrone is a project developed by Rob Smith, Anna Troisi and Neal White for the Office of Experiments.It will be exhibited at Wysing Arts center the 26th of August.
