Air and Bricks: On knowing in creative practice

This talk asks: how can creative approaches be used to explore large-scale technologies and complex systems, and the presence, politics, and culture that manifest through their forms? Computational processes can be subject matter and material for critical artistic investigation in their own right; but, these technologies exist within larger social and political systems, and and through material and embodied forms. This talk considers how these systems can be approached, surfaced, and repositioned through wider, often low-tech processes, as a way for considering both the nature of these systems and the forms of institutional and embodied knowledge and intelligence which operate within them.
