Open Call 27.07.2017
Transmarcations experiments with ways to chart heres, wheres and others. This worksession situates itself at the crossing of technolgies with geographies, life's courses, bodies, terrains and deplacements. Transmarcations is interested in the complexity that emerges when cartography meets bodies in transition. By bodies in transition we mean migrating bodies as well as bodies that engage […]

During a two-week residency, the collective research will focus on biomedical 3D imaging and how it models, scans and renders "real bodies". Possible Bodies is concerned by the merging of pharmacopornographic, Hollywood and military industries. […]
The Document Transformed 21.06.2017
Masterclass with Adva Zakai (Thursday) and presentation (Saturday) on the BioVision Hierarchy file format. BioVision Hierarchy (.bvh) is an ASCII file format used to import data from various motion capture systems into 3D-animation software. It was developed in the mid-nineties and remains one of the most commonly used file-formats for transposing movement captured in physical […]
Transmarcations 01.06.2017
The worksession Transmarcations experiments with ways to chart heres, wheres and others. This worksession situates itself at the crossing of technologies with geographies, life trajectories, bodies, terrains and deplacements. Transmarcations invites participants from various disciplines to create prototypes, visualisations and models of speculative body-terrain combinations. Bio-mappers, artists, gender- and migration-activisten, science-hackers, cartographers, data-miners, (...) - […]
Narrative perspective of Neural Networks #8 29.05.2017
Algolit explores neural networks to see how their process can be made legible, visible, understandable. We follow up on the Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing course from Stanford University, by Richard Socher (https://cs224d.stanford.edu/syllabus.html). Please make sure you watch the first five video's of the course. Impressions and algoliterary experiments are shared throughout the day. […]
