AIA workshop

Autonomy, Interactivity, Automatism – three tricky concepts. How to deal with them?

We suggest the following: 

Let’s start by looking at them as couples. Interactivity – Autonomy. Interactivity – Automatism. Autonomy – Automatism.

How are they connected?

 

autonomy in interactivity?

interactive autonomy?

automatic interactivity?

interactive automat?

autonomic automatism?

automatic autonomy?

And also everything that is in between.

How do these pairs support or disturb each other? What kind of systems can we find or build (or destroy) on them?

After considering those questions, it might get easier to find some common ground for all of us to work with all three concepts. 

We are also open to different suggestions.

How are we going to proceed with the workshop?

We would like to organize it as peer to peer cooperation based on propositions and contributions coming from each participant. In our opinion this would make possible reaching each of our subject in practice. We will send more detailed information about the way of participating later to everyone who would be directly interested in taking part in AIA workshop.

“We” means: Marko Alastalo and Karolina Kucia.

Marko is working on interactive brainwave music, and Karolina is working with idea of autonomy, lapsus and reanimation in self-organized actions in public space.

Greetings and Welcome! Marko and Karolina

 

PS: You are welcome with the questions you are dealing with in your projects or with some new made for this lab propositions. They don’t have to be long, or extended. Its purpose is seeding, others getting knowledge on some particular aspects that you are interested and communicating with others seeds.
