The relationship between quantifiable and experiential knowledge as entanglement of multiple temporalities.
What parallels are there between a human pranayama practitioner and a migratory bird in heavily datafied environments? And what can they tell us about the need to reorient our thinking towards the planetary?
In Contemporaneity in Embodied Data Practices, two artistic field studies provide the starting point for a dialogical reflection on the entanglement of diverse temporalities in body-related, datafied, and experiential practices. Shifting through lived, historical, evolutionary, and technological rhythms, Cornelia Sollfrank and Felix Stalder unfold their respective more-than-human frames of reference, and arrive at specific forms of agency in the contemporary moment.
Cornelia Sollfrank (born 1960 in Feilershammer) is a German artist, researcher and writer. In the 1990s she was one of the pioneers of
net art and an important representative of cyber
feminism; her work focuses on gender and technologies as well as copyright, digital commons, and the performativity of data.
Felix Stalder (born 1968 in Basel) is a professor for Digital Culture and Network Theory at the Zurich University of the Arts. His work focuses on the intersection of cultural, political and technological dynamics, in particular on new modes of commons-based production, control society, copyright and transformation of subjectivity.
