0000 CERN: Impossible Images

Hola! Happy new year!
I am writing you from my desk at Fabra i Coats - Centre for Contemporary Art in Barcelona, where I just started the second part of my Collide at CERN residency. ufff... I wish I could write up all the amazing things I have learned and seen. I am still processing it all and the summary really needs more time. What follows is just a short update:
🕳️
I came to CERN with a project titled Shadow Knowledge, which was supposed to be about knowledge of how to perceive and approach shadows; the fringes of what is enlightened (or not in the dark). But my focus and understanding started to shift when I realized that the metaphor I used in my artworks did not match with the language I had to use with scientists.
Long story short, after feeling a little lost in a sea of acronyms and scientific language, I buckled up and re-wrote my research question with the help of my scientific partners Jeremy Niedziela and Rolf Landua. Finally this became the start of a new and ongoing research project: Impossible Images. What I share here is just an initial collection of new thoughts that can become in time a new starting point for an art project. photos from my time at CERN.
0001 AXIS // Transmediale 2020: Whiteout

AXIS by Mario de Vega is a beautiful publication with reflective cover that comes with audio recordings made on the Aquiles, the ship that took us through the drake to Antartica, and photos from journeys to the Brocken, Himalaya and visits to aghori in India and the Northern tip of Japan, all printed on stone paper. The special limited edition book includes my essay Whiteout, printed, white on white (a version of my contribution in pdf form is also available here, but that is just black and white pdf). So here comes another exciting part: for the 2020 edition of the Transmediale I have been asked to give a performative lecture of Whiteout during the VIP opening ceremony on the 27th of January. woof.. I am sorry this is just for the VIP opening, but be sure that this will develop further, as it always does...   0010 Resolution Studies Since 2018 I have a fulltime position as substitute professor New Media at the KHK. During this time I expanded on the Resolution Studies curriculum. The fourth and final semester of Resolution Studies is now available here. 0011 Solo show at SJSU (San Jose) : Shadow Knowledge My 3rd solo show in the USA opens on March 3th, at the Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery at San Jose State University, It will be on until May 15th 2020. I cant wait but I have a ton of work in front of me. And yes. What once was a project, is now a title. 0100 Miscellaneous updates Lune magazine Issue 03: Display, The "JOURNAL OF LITERARY MISRULE", guest Edited by Nathan Jones is out! It features a contribution by me -- an oldie but one that has never been published in this format. pdf version of just my contribution to Lune And here is access to the OGs // DCT:SYPHONING.

I am so happy and honoured for Carolyn Kane to feature my 10 yrs old selfie on cover of her new book High-Tech Trash. I am now a cover model of High-Tech Trash. Although I have not had time to read this publication, I know from her previous publication on digital color (Chromatic Algorithms) that Carolyn is an excellent writer. High-Tech Trash is published by the University Press of California and is available as hardcover, paperback or digital download published under open access. ♡ And then finally. HAPPY NEW ISO YEAR!!!!! Never forget. Your life is fractured and organised by a million standards imposed or implied by that organisation. 🔹
