JARD x Neuhaus: reDesigning Affect Space

Nieuwe Instituut is het nationale museum voor architectuur, design en digitale cultuur. Nieuwe Instituut houdt zich bezig met de grote ontwikkelingen in de maatschappij, zoals de krapte op de woningmarkt, de energietransitie, de opkomst van kunstmatige intelligentie, mobiliteit of het gebruik van de publieke ruimte. Ontwerpers, waaronder architecten en digitale makers, kunnen aan die ontwikkelingen een belangrijke bijdrage leveren. Nieuwe Instituut toont het werk van ontwerpers, brengt mensen met elkaar in contact, verzamelt, ontwikkelt en deelt kennis.

<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN><SPAN>This Thursday Night Live! presents findings from the </SPAN><SPAN>reDesigning Affect Space</SPAN><SPAN> public research. Affect Space is a spatial model for analysing the interplay between urban public space with mobile technology and the affective intensities that are generated by mediated and embodied exchanges.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="hni-grid">In fact, the <A HREF="http://hetnieuweinstituut.nl/en/technology-affect-space-2-designing-affect-space" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Affect Space</A> model closely describes the designed practices by some techno-political actors, like IT service provides and governments at the forefront of developments. The question at stake is how Affect Space can be redesigned for a more poetic, critical, and open civic engagement, and how to include the design disciplines in shaping such alternative designs? This question also forms the starting point of the workshop reDesigning Affect Space (title to be confirmed), by JARD  (architects Javier Argota and Rodrigo Delso) that will take place on 6 and 7 September at Het Nieuwe Instituut.</P>
<P CLASS="hni-grid">With  an introduction by theorist <A HREF="http://independent.academia.edu/EricKluitenberg" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Eric Kluitenberg</A>, who coined the term Affect Space. <A HREF="http://www.jard.us/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">JARD</A> (architects Javier Argota and Rodrigo Delso) explores how bottom-up Machine Learning algorithms can be applied to urban camera observation to analyse collective movements in public space. And the premiere of the digital film <SPAN>Daily Life at a Crossing</SPAN> by artists <A HREF="https://neuhaus.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/en/timetable/far-near" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Esther Polak and Ivar van Bekkum</A>: "This video is an experiment in the experience of space. For this video we combined the virtual visual world that is offered to us by Google Earth, with a self produced audio recording. The sound you hear is recorded of a building at the crossing of the Martin-Luther Strasse and Hohenstaufen-Strasse in Berlin. We used extended binaural recording: the right channel is the south side of the building, the left the north. At the same time a slow movement around the crossing is visible, executed in the current state of Google Earth. The two sound channels and the video are related, and not related. There is a gap, and there is a connection."</P>
