Veranstaltungsbeschreibung:
“When you cut into the present, the future leaks out.” – William Burroughs
Cut-ups, sampling, remixing might put you in touch with what you know (known knowns) and do not know that you know (unknown knowns) and do not yet know what you do not know now (unknown unknowns). (This proposition is a derivative of Burroughs and Rumsfeld with a pinch of Speculative Pragmatism.) In this course, we will do experiments through text, sound, and speculative imaginations. We seek to follow modernist notions of chance, repetition, and processual approaches by employing strategies of transcription (replication), transformation (plundering), and fictioning (mythopoesis) as a compositional method for experiments in writing – or, here, ‘un*ound’ writings from textual formats to audio (‘un*ound’ as in sound/unsound, creating a variety of meaning through aesthetic practices). Taking the lead by the likes of Kenneth Goldsmith (poet/artist) and Simon O'Sullivan (theorist/artist), we integrate theory and so-called ‘uncreative practices’ with your aesthetic explorations to see and hear what kinds of textual, visual, and sonic compositions might leak out in future. The intention is to encourage you to investigate alternative modes within your art practice and research interests.
Given the current constraints, there will be meetings on MS Teams with discussions, works-in-progress critiques, and joint listening and perhaps viewing sessions (streamed via twitch.tv). We will need to keep the online plenaries to a limited time span since, in my view, this type of environment requires a lot of energy in maintaining focus. Self-study and self-motivation will be a crucial element in producing projects. However, I will offer one-on-one supervisory meetings online when needed.
This course is designed for individuals who are interested in artistic research and writing, more generally, in combination with art practices cutting across the sounding arts (music, sound art, radio), net art, and theory-fiction, more specifically.
