In the Making #14: Resonance in the Inanimate

West Den Haag

Thursday night sessions on research in art

ITM #14 Resonance in the InanimateOn the boundaries between the algorithm and human expressionWith Pavlos Kountouriotis and Mariella Greil In this inaugural session of the 2026 In the Making series, performance artist, choreographer and deputy director of the Royal Academy of Art The Hague Pavlos Kountouriotis will give a presentation on his performance-as-research work Two Bobs and a Steve.In this work, he will explore resonance within the inanimate, probing the boundaries between the algorithm and human expression. The work involves two men engaged in a tightly structured, mathematically-defined score that spirals into absurdity: two men, two saws, one score, one falls—an exploration of homosociality and the inevitable collapse when the human body becomes an inherent cog in an algorithmic machine and driven by their inability to let go. This research focuses on the immanent dramaturgies that emerge within the rigid mathematical system of Steve Reich’s musical structures, searching for the human within the inanimate.As a response to Pavlos’ presentation, senior artist at the Applied Performance Laboratory at the Vienna University of Applied Arts Mariella Greil will elaborate on her perspective of Embodied Research as a Cosmopoietic Œkology. She will elaborate on the interconnections between choreography and materiality, ethics and œcology, and give an overview on her embodied research through the projects Choreo-graphic Figures, Bare Bodies and Choreo-ethical Assemblages. A particular emphasis will be given drawn onto processes of emergence, relation, and transformation that move beyond the static or representational and instead linger in the terrain of becoming.After these two presentations a panel discussion will take place with members of the staff from the University of the Arts The Hague and the public.<h3>Programme</h3>18.30 Starting off with free soup and encounters19.00 Start public session (lectures + panel discussion)21.00 After talk and free access to the current exhibitions22.00 Closing
