Presence migrates
Online workshop with John Hopkins
The expression of presence is an essential characteristic of the self-organized body-system. Presence is the announcement of be-ing and viability and requires first an inflow and then an outflow of energies from the body system through the conversion of energies from one form to another. This conversion process alters the entire fabric of local existence. Migration of the embodied and energized organism changes everything around it. What do you change around you? What is changed by those around you?
Shared presence is a dialogue of transformation and change. It is the crux of be-ing.

Migrating Migration?
Checking a Globalized Conception
Workshop with Matze Schmidt & Dominik Eggermann
Migration is a complex of real people’s movements, theoretical approaches and economical as well as political factors. Currently it seems to be an augmented term which connotes ‘everything and nothing’. Is it flowing data, is it the jet-set nomades, is it the action at the european borders? The topic Migration is migrating itself, so to speak! But what is clear that it is a process of actual happenings, theory and ideology. In a 2x90 min. workshop all participants are invited to find out ways how to build a working index of migrating as a matter of fact. The result could be a 2d-map to explore the scientific parts of the ~whole subject.

Second international congress on migration
General Public project space, Berlin. November 22.-29.2008
The congress will unfold into the wide set of events, seeking deeper understanding in educational and artistic practices within changing processes. A residency-like “Régime” supplemented by a number of workshops, lectures, presentations and an exhibition will end up with the first Migrating Art Academies seminar.
Régime is an attempt to combine or forcefully blend together the art making (value routine) with the residual acts (non-value routine) of human habituation. As a spatio-temporal mélange this event will not fit the categorical schemes of genre or type, though supervised by tutors, Régime will try to explore spatial limitations and repetitiveness. A synchronous but not synchronised mosaic of activities overlapping in certain periodicity performed and/or lived by the artists (Artonauts) “embedded” in the temporary space would constitute a combined average flow of actions or a continuous performance. Among the key issues of Migrating Reality congress is a synchronisation of human activities driven not by the imposed goal but by the act of sharing. In this particular case, sharing knowledge, space and time.
Up to ten students from the above mentioned art academies will reside in the General Public project space in Berlin. Within their time of residency the participants will get in contact and work together with people with a migration background who are living in Berlin and are engaged in the cultural sector. The experimental set-up of Régime as a temporary, interdisciplinary platform (alike an alternative, reformed school) provides a basis and creates a flexible social space for the exchange of knowledge and ideas as well as the communication of cross-cultural competence and creative strategies. The supporting programme consisting of workshops and seminars communicates practical approaches and also theoretical topics relating to migration and its realities.
During the runtime of Régime there will be an audiovisual stream showing the on-site situation live on the internet, which is not only to thematise surveillance and control but also processes of migration from reality to virtuality. So, at the same time a special style of documentation of Régime will be realised.
Objects, ideas and documents produced during the time will be exhibited at the end of Régime in the same space.

“Pixel Memories” is a Research Workshop. Its work is based on a principle that uses the pixel value of an image - or sequence of images - as temporal index to generate images with non-synchronous pixels. The indexing might be based on the intensity of the pixels, their chromatic value, or a combination of both. Persistence and accumulation effects, or proximity influence might be added to the indexing principle to obtain an even larger array of effects inducing a sort of “memory” of the pixels. By using the pixel as matter at work, the image is jeopardized in its very nature, and escapes the simple mimetic representation of reality.
As this mechanism enables to blend, in a very subtle way, different temporalities into the image, it was given the generic name of “Pixel Memories”.
Matter, Form and Narration. This principle of indexing pixels into time is a new form of narration that excites the creativity of artists when it comes to processing movement in a cinematographic image. There, movements are described in a non-linear, non-synchronous form, temporality is fragmented, deferred, distorted and anamorphic. Imbrications, irruptions, and contaminations, all these processes generate ” breaches of parallel time” where stories can be juxtaposed or merged.
The processing of such composite images also poses the question of the status of sound and its relationship to different spatio-temporal spaces.
During this symposium, the works of the site will be updated, and five students will discuss their current research.
