AA Talk #14 - Van broedplaats naar vrijplaats
Panel | 25 November 2022 | 14:00 - 16:00
Over het opzetten en verkrijgen van collectieve woon- en werkplekken a.k.a. vrijplaatsen. Op 25 november van 14:00 tot 16:00 organiseren Amsterdam Alternative, Platform Beeldende Kunst en de Kunstenbond in de OT301 een publieke discussie over de status en de toekomst van vrijplaatsen in Amsterdam. Een programma waarin cultuurwerkers, vrijbuiters en andere stadsgenoten vertellen over hun gezamenlijke acties, zoektochten, hindernissen en successen in de strijd om betaalbare en duurzame woon- en werkruimte voor kunst, cultuur en buurtinitiatieven, in een steeds duurdere en ontoegankelijkere stad. Het pleidooi voor meer gezamenlijke woon- en werkplekken in collectief beheer of bezit, steekt af tegen het huidige broedplaatsenbeleid in Amsterdam, Hierin zijn tijdelijke contracten de norm, wordt kunst en cultuur ingezet voor gentrificatie, hebben buurtbewoners weinig toegang tot de vrijgekomen panden in hun buurt voor sociale initiatieven en verdwijnt uiteindelijk veel sociaal vastgoed op de markt. Na 20 jaar broedplaats-beleid is het tijd voor nieuw beleid, waarin de gebruikers centraal staan in plaats van de portemonnee van de vastgoedontwikkelaar. Deze Talk is onderdeel van de samenwerking tussen het Vrije Ruimte Festival en de Envisioning Free Space conferentie die wordt georganiseerd door Amsterdam Alternative en Space of Urgency. Een meerdaags programma met veel muziek, kunst, docu’s en discussies over nachtcultuur, inclusieve stedelijke ontwikkeling en vrije ruimte.

Moderating NC_CL #2 - Flesh
Panel | 24 May 2020
“Flesh — not as passive matter, but as a physical, relational field of interaction, intensities, techniques, histories, traces, and relics of experienced information. Our body is never “pure” flesh but is always already extending into an elaborate circuitry of technologies of all sorts. Physical indeed, but a physicality that was and is always mediated and remediated as it is pervaded by the existence of other objects; other relations and agencies — human and nonhuman.” — Myriam Van Imschoot, Rests in Pieces On Scores, Notation and the Trace in Dance (2010). This evening of performances will focus on embodiment through practices of live coding. The stage becomes a temporary site for experimenting with algorithmic composition — from body to language; words to flesh; the oral to the written — presenting an ecology of scores and scripts for movement to unfold and new relations to emerge.

Inclusive Extensions - A project on design and inclusivity by IMPAKT and New Emergences
Panel | 20 December 2019 | 16:00 - 18:00
This series of events will focus on how art, design and technology can adapt towards difference and inclusivity in society, recognizing all human value and agency. How accessible are our current design practices to people with disabilities, and what needs improvement? These are the core questions in the first discussion event where researchers, artists and designers, of different abilities, exchange ideas from their own field of expertise. Everyone is warmly invited to join and share their thoughts. This event will lay the foundation for a series of three design workshops and a final presentation event by IMPAKT in 2020. The workshops aim for a substantial representation of people with disabilities, in the roles of workshop leader, participant and user.

In conversation between art and larp: The panel
Panel | 25 February 2017 | 15:15 - 17:00
There is an increasing interest from the art world in larp, as artists are more and more interested in involving audience members as active participants in their work. At the same time, some larp designers have created larps that are more and more abstract in their approach. This raises questions such as Is larp an art form?, What terminology to use to describe pieces that are both larp and art?, What can art learn from larp? and What can larp learn from art?. In the panel: Adam Saville James, Alessandro Giovannucci, Mark Durkan, Una Hamilton Helle, and Maria Bergmann Hamming. Moderated by Marije Baalman and Nina Runa Essendrop.

New Emergences: Collecting Perspectives at CTM Festival
Panel | 3 February 2017 | 12:00 - 13:20
This afternoon, hosted by music journalist Lisa Blanning, provides a platform for a few female and female-identified groups to not only present themselves to the public, but also to meet, exchange and cross-pollinate everyone’s work even further. Following a short introduction by Lisa, the New Emergences initiative has invited inventor and sound artist Marije Baalman to join a panel alongside Mariette Groot, professional organiser and shop keeper of the only mobile store dedicated to experimental music and sound art in the Netherlands; together with Anne Wellmer, composer and performer of electronic music; and with the British musician and artist Semay Wu, who initiated the New Emergences lecture and discussion series in the spring of 2016. By using safe spaces to collect perspectives, they examine the notion that women and men might approach technology differently. Through historical, social and cultural relations, the panelists will discuss recurring phenomena that includes how specific language and imagery might affect us - and our perception of each other - within the context of electronic music and sound art.
