AGNI – an iterative methodology for research-creation\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sandeep Bhagwati
\n<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2005, in response to a perceived lack of methodical rigor in practices of research-creation, I developed the iterative AGNI research-creation methodology, loosely based on the RSVP Cycle Theory of Collective Creativity outlined by landscape architect Lawrence Halprin in the late 1960s.<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup>In his model, Halprin developed effective methods to integrate both the creator\u2019s and the \u201crecipient\u2019s\/user\u2019s\u201d perception of a work of public art. These methods, slightly adapted, are extremely useful for integrating both the researcher\u2019s (i.e. the \u201ccreators\u201d of the analysis) and the artist\u2019s\/art form\u2019s points of view into a coherent perspective. AGNI (the name is an acronym, but it also is the name of the deity of fire in Hindu thought) consists of four steps that form an iterative cycle: \u201cAnalysis\u201d, \u201cGrammar\u201d, \u201cNotation\u201d and \u201cImplementation\u201d \u2013 the last step forming once more the material for \u201cAnalysis\u201d, thus creating an iterative methodology. In my presentation, I will discuss the ideas and concepts behind this methodology, the problems it is supposed to solve as well as the problems it generates. I will discuss examples of research-creation\u00a0projects using AGNI since 2005, both my own and projects by others. Finally, I will speak about the idea of the demo and how it relates to the concept of \u201cImplementation\u201d in AGNI \u2013 and how the concept of the demo itself is already transforming the aesthetic and social role of artists and their art.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Killer apps \u2013 dead media \u2013 live art?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sally Jane Norman<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The academic \u2018\u2018public or perish\u2019\u2019 ultimatum is increasingly replaced by Negroponte’s 1990s \u2018\u2018demo or die\u2019\u2019 mantra in creative research\/research-creation, manifest in such techniques as iterative design, rapid prototyping, and agile software development. These proving-by-doing techniques may value epistemic action (Kirsh and Maglio), allowing us to reframe research questions, over pragmatic action, whereby we seek to tackle specific physical problems. At the same time, these techniques can be harnessed to fast evolving market imperatives: the killer apps battle zone is strewn with corpses of dead and obsolete media. I propose to focus on how we might reconcile the demo’s interactional, compellingly performance \u2013 rather than presentation \u2013 oriented qualities (Lunenfeld), with the critical rhetorical and historical awareness of reflexive live art practices.<\/p>\n

Les m\u00e9thodologies du Libre et de la Culture Libre et leurs applications dans la recherche et la gouvernance\u00a0: une communication en mode de proposition<\/span><\/h2>\n

Alexandre Castonguay<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Partant d’une analyse de la Licence Publique G\u00e9n\u00e9rale (GPL) et de la Licence Publique G\u00e9n\u00e9rale Limit\u00e9e (LGPL) qui d\u00e9terminent les droits de reproduction des Logiciels Libres (FLOSS), la conf\u00e9rence pr\u00e9sentera comment ces principes l\u00e9gaux ont conduit \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ation de communaut\u00e9s de collaborateurs autour de projets pr\u00e9cis, allant de logiciels soutenant le r\u00e9seau (comme Apache, le logiciel de serveur le plus utilis\u00e9) \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ation participative de logiciels 3D et d’environnements de programmation visuels pour la manipulation du son et de la vid\u00e9o en temps r\u00e9el. Une d\u00e9finition des termes comme \u00ab\u00a0hack\u00a0\u00bb, \u00ab\u00a0maker culture\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab\u00a0release\u00a0\u00bb permettront de saisir la m\u00e9canique de l’innovation et du partage inh\u00e9rente \u00e0 ce mouvement. Quelques cas tir\u00e9s d’exp\u00e9riences de recherche du chercheur situeront les approches de d\u00e9veloppement les plus productives.<\/p>\n

Les \u00e9l\u00e9ments de d\u00e9finition du Libre : transparence, coll\u00e9gialit\u00e9, partage, reconnaissance du m\u00e9rite et participation collective, sont des principes op\u00e9ratifs du Logiciel Libre qui se manifestent ailleurs que dans le champ \u00e9troit du d\u00e9veloppement de logiciel ou de mat\u00e9riel.\u00a0La \u00ab\u00a0Culture Libre\u00a0\u00bb regroupe des types de pratiques parfois \u00e9loign\u00e9es du fait technologique. Des organisations comme des FabLabs, Hackerspaces, centres d’artistes ou festivals mettent en application ces principes dans leurs cr\u00e9ations et la gouvernance de leurs organisations. Quelques exemples choisis serviront de mod\u00e8les d’application de ces m\u00e9thodologies et de base \u00e0 une proposition de leur application dans la recherche et les centres de recherche.<\/p>\n

Promiscuous Infrastructures<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kevin Yuen-Kit Lo<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition\/project Promiscuous Infrastructures: Phase II<\/i>, which took place at Centre des arts actuels Skol in Montreal, March\/April 2012, aimed to visualise\/materialise Artivistic\u2019s research practice at the intersection of art, activism and theory. Occurring within the context of the student strike, the exhibition\/project moved beyond the delineations of the institutional, directly engaging with and reflecting on the movement, coalescing in the editing of an issue of FUSE<\/i> Magazine in December 2012.<\/p>\n

Building on PI2<\/i>, this presentation engages in a broader discussion of alternative models of research-creation and self-organising, from outside the academy or institutional practice of art. It aims to present a narrative that explores the roles of affect (but not necessarily \u201caffect theory\u201d) and network models (but not necessarily rhizomatic ones) in grassroots community building reflected through personal practice.<\/p>\n

An Archive of Process<\/span><\/h2>\n

M\u00e9l Hogan<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This presentation will describe work done at the Archinodes Research Design Lab (archinodes.com). In particular, this talk will cover Archinodes’ latest project: a process-oriented archival application for collectors. While currently under development, this ideal archive design provides users a toolset allowing them to collect and index their digital materials while rendering visible the traces of process as they and others engage with their collections. The app allows users to create themed as well as time\/space-based collections of archived material, while also maintaining granular control over the privacy of their content. The process-oriented approach includes the collection of digital materials as well as the traces of engagement with the varied materials across collections. This project builds off of a (re)vision of the archive, and as such draws from theoretical interventions on the subject, which informs and shapes the grid of possibilities of this app. By exposing the design process, this presentation is an open reflection on the various trajectories between design thinking and doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
