WORM Detour - Martin Howse: Active Circuit

Sonntag, 31. Oktober 2010 - 16:00 Uhr

RaumD / Q21

[KORREKTUR: die veranstaltung findet am 31.10 und nicht am 30.10 statt!]


Starting at Museumsquartier, Martin Howse will take us on a Detour through the city in a psychogeophysical action exploring the excitation and subsequent detection of urban phenomena across three distinct regions of the electromagnetic spectrum: so called radio, visible light and ionizing radiation.

A practical (magical) and symbolic action is proposed, the micro analysis of a local scene (how to describe a set of simple coincidences) and its embedding within emergent, large-scale geomagnetic phenomena (a series of enclosures encompassed by term such as earth, Ionosphere, Van Allen belts and deep space).

Active Circuit probes found materials, invisible architectures and ad-hoc structures assembled and constructed into a projective, active city circuit; a forensics of the future suggested by the city street as an active version control system.

Afterwards we head back to Raum D where he will present and demonstrate a short series of psychogeophysical investigations and interventions.

In highly paranoiac manner, psychogeophysics seeks to expand the terms of this simple equation to embrace psychogeography and urbanism, proposing an exchange between imaginary realms, the digital and the observed, which allows for speculative notions such as data sedimentation or for the application of techniques including those of version control to urban locales.
