ARTIFICIAL NATURES
17-23 AUGUST 2015
Artificial Natures appear in a broad spectrum of scenographic representations in post-internet culture. Within the anthropocene discourse, nature is described as a system which integrates critical human interventions. Nature has lost its significance as the opposite of human technology. It is a hybrid of the two spheres. The relationship between technology and nature, and the dialectics between them, organized both concepts through a strong philosophical opposition. Since nature has become, by definition, artificial – produced, to a certain degree, consciously or otherwise by mankind – the architecture of its presence and its artificiality becomes a new matter for investigation. If nature is a lost object, its glorification in the post-internet era already necessitates a different relationship to it.
The breadth of human nostalgia and the ongoing effort artificially to bring back what has been permanently lost, is in the center of this workshop.
The KAM workshop of 2015 focuses on nature and Modernity, critiques on the borders between the natural and the human-made; video game environments experienced through avatars, techniques of reproduction, copying and synthesizing, assembling artificial natures for material or digital environments; fake mountains, rocks, trees, vegetation, lakes and gardens. The program of KAM Workshops consists of a daily studio and a series of lectures. More information on the participants and the program coming soon.
