An immersive installation by Louis Braddock Clarke and Zuzanna Zgierska, exhibited at ‘one sun after another’ at W139 in Amsterdam as part of Sonic Acts Biennial 2022. Commissioned by Sonic Acts. Thousands of years ago, a meteor shower hit the grounds of the present-day Inugguit Nunaat (Northern Greenland). During Danish colonisation and 19th-century North Pole expeditions, these pieces of meteorite found their way to museums in New York and Copenhagen. Alongside mineral trophies, a group of indigenous Inugguit people was relocated and displayed as a living ‘anthropological zoo’. In ‘Hard Drives from Space’, shaping mineral magnetism becomes a key strategy to lift the weight of colonialism and restitute indigenous narratives. The installation takes the form of a research station, composed of speculative stones. Through a series of decolonising rituals with hunters, shamans, and artisans in Inugguit Nunaat and art-scientific experiments at the Paleomagnetic Laboratory in Utrecht, samples of the meteorite are remagnetised. In the process of rewriting magnetic histories, new narratives emerge — one sun after another.

An immersive installation by Louis Braddock Clarke, Roosje Klap, Senka Milutinović, and Zuzanna Zgierska (Concept & Art Direction), Arran Lyon and Valentin Vogelmann (Coding & Data Science), Teoniki Rożynek (Musical Composition), and Federico Campagna (Philosophical Research). Commissioned by and exhibited at MU Hybrid Art House in Eindhoven in 2021. ‘LAWKI’ won a Golden Calf in the category of Digital Culture during the Netherlands Film Festival 2022. Worldwide, we watch a billion hours of online video. A. Day. Games, music, news, make-up, ASMR, vlogs, documentaries, tutorials, interviews, reviews, challenges, and, of course, cat videos! Each minute, 500 hours of video material are being uploaded to YouTube alone. With ‘LAWKI—ALIVE’, another edition of ‘Life As We Know It,’ the artists condense this unimaginable amount of digital footage into an intuitive dynamic live stream driven by AI and the visitors’ movements. Smartly indexed search results continuously generate new associative visual stories in ten different languages. The result is an overpowering stream of images showing what keeps people busy from Boston to Bangalore. World and screen are no longer separate, we are in an immersive installation, but we are everywhere and nowhere at once as well. An excellent opportunity to get to know life (all over).

An immersive installation by Louis Braddock Clarke, Roosje Klap, Senka Milutinović, and Zuzanna Zgierska (Concept & Art Direction), Arran Lyon and Valentin Vogelmann (Coding & Data Science), Teoniki Rożynek (Musical Composition), and Federico Campagna (Philosophical Research). The work was commissioned by Noorderlicht Photography Foundation as pièce de résistance of ‘The Makeable Mind’ show at Der Aa-Kerk in Groningen during Noorderlicht International Photo Festival 2021. In ‘LAWKI—NOW,’ a network of unsupervised algorithms curates from thousands of online videos. Through this compositional gesture, a new story of today is broadcasted, in which reality merges with the techno-imaginative. An algorithm scrapes from streams of unlimited data to create its own ontology, based on visual stories that circulate, trend, and propagate across the web. In a 768-dimensional ‘random walk’ across this constructed world, global and local events are woven into a common narrative. As a stream of consciousness, the sequencing of search phrases indexically charts down our reality. Working with the architecture of the historic Aa-Church, the soundscape of ‘LAWKI—NOW’ makes use of the 16th-century multi-particular polyphonic technique Cori spezzati. The space itself becomes an instrument through the layers of acoustic delays, creating a spatial stereo effect. The audio-visual narrative is divided into sequential chapters, which create non-linear points of entry and different outputs each time. The spatial installation invites the audience to move between, interact, and play with the screens to recalibrate how media environments are organised. In this walk of wonder, the viewer is not merely a consumer of the cacophonic spectacle but an active co-creator of both process and outcome.

An immersive installation by Louis Braddock Clarke, Roosje Klap, Senka Milutinović, and Zuzanna Zgierska (Concept & Art Direction), Arran Lyon and Valentin Vogelmann (Coding & Data Science), Teoniki Rożynek (Musical Composition), and Federico Campagna (Philosophical Research). The work was commissioned by Noorderlicht Photography Foundation as pièce de résistance of ‘The Makeable Mind’ show at Der Aa-Kerk in Groningen during Noorderlicht International Photo Festival 2021. In ‘LAWKI—NOW,’ a network of unsupervised algorithms curates from thousands of online videos. Through this compositional gesture, a new story of today is broadcasted, in which reality merges with the techno-imaginative. An algorithm scrapes from streams of unlimited data to create its own ontology, based on visual stories that circulate, trend, and propagate across the web. In a 768-dimensional ‘random walk’ across this constructed world, global and local events are woven into a common narrative. As a stream of consciousness, the sequencing of search phrases indexically charts down our reality. Working with the architecture of the historic Aa-Church, the soundscape of ‘LAWKI—NOW’ makes use of the 16th-century multi-particular polyphonic technique Cori spezzati. The space itself becomes an instrument through the layers of acoustic delays, creating a spatial stereo effect.

The film was screened during The Netherlands Film Festival 2020 at Stadsschouwburg in Utrecht as part of the Professionals Programme. This is Life As We Know It, our constantly changing surveillance culture under pressure, with our deep fakes, our dark thoughts, our drone views, our politics, our activism, and our lives in the virtual real. We are changing the world and the world is changing us. What stories do we need to tell? How do we connect the dots, reach out and share visions? Can we share your world, and ours?

An alive installation by Zuzanna Zgierska exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague during KABK Graduation Show 2020. ‘ex.citable inter.faces’ won Graphic Design Department Award. ‘ex.citable inter.faces’ is a live installation that registers a bio-encounter between the two interlinked realms: the human and the technical. This reverse engineering of a touchscreen strives to rethink the politics, economics, and aesthetics of surfaces by deviating from the origin of an interface that lies in ancient trade technologies. While the capitalist poetics of ex- (excavation, extraction, explosion, exclusion, exhaustion, extinction, etcetera) display the surface of the Earth as an alien Other and domesticate the anthropogenic monstrosities through the sublime beauty of bird-view photography, here a different mode of looking is proposed. Under a microscope, all surfaces are in flux: they are spaces of constant phase transitions from one state of matter to the other. No fixtures, no borders, and no finalities exist here. In this installation, the screen has been covered with chiral nematic liquid crystals, which can be found in both — the living bodies and the intricate architectures of touchscreens. Liquid crystals are milky proteins with properties between those of conventional liquids and those of solid crystals. These chemical compounds are therefore the embodiments of phase transitions, as they oscillate between the different states of matter. The gesture of looking through these ubiquitous, vibrant molecules maps new relationships between humans and matter. The surface in flux creates osmosis between the subject and the object of viewing, between the sender and the receiver. Liquid crystals invite us to view the matter in a nonhierarchical, non-capitalist, and non-binary way: beyond the cold tokens of 0 and 1. Artist: Zuzanna Zgierska Conceptual Consultations: Jan Robert Leegte Thomas Buxó Füsun Türetken Chemical Engineering Consultations: Prof.dr. Stephen J. Picken (Advanced Soft Matter Delft University of Technology) Coding & Tinkering Consultations: Jaap Meijers (Royal Academy of Art, The Hague) Rob Bothof Research Materials: KIT-Archiv (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) Special thanks to: Louis Braddock Clarke
