How can we live better on Earth? Compost is the answer to the question because it concerns reciprocity. \nCompost is an alchemical phase in the life cycle. It is where death goes to prepare a new life. “We will use microscopes to witnessing the intricate activities and interdependent organisms that conduct this process. Aided by specialists in philosophy\, biology\, and sustainable farming – narrates the artist – we will spend time contemplating together\, writing\, drawing and dancing to perform our understandings of the miracle of death and life in compost.” \nFrom July 15 to July 18\, Castello di Rivoli will be the terrain and the gymnasium for the workshop Living matters. A workshop to study compost through the body and dance forms by American artist\, Claire Pentecost. The workshop will involve a group of students and explore the concept of compost through the body and dance forms. It will end on July 18 with the performance – open to the public – Living Matters\, followed by a conversation between the artist and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. \nLiving Matters is the first event of COMP(H)OST. This project investigates the concepts of hosting\, coexistence\, cooperation and cohabitation\, transition and fertility through a transdisciplinary approach\, which includes artworks\, performances and public programs held in Castello di Rivoli and various venues throughout Torino. \nCOMP(H)OST is curated by a.titolo\, NERO and Marianna Vecellio – Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea in collaboration with the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art\, Rotterdam\, and was conceived by Marianna Vecellio and Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy. \nThe project is supported by Compagnia di San Paolo within the program “ORA! Produzioni di Cultura Contemporanea\,” with the collaboration of Duparc Contemporary Suites. \n  \nHow to participate:\nTeenagers\, young people and accompanying adults wishing to attend\, have to book the free four-day workshop. The workshop has a limited number of participants. The booking is subject to availability. Public interested in the initiative can participate in the lessons with the experts without registering. The workshop will be conducted mainly in English. According to the principle of reciprocity\, which underlies the process of creating compost\, the experts\, together with some of the participants\, will facilitate the understanding and communication among all. \n  \nDownload the program: Workshop Comphost \n  \nBiography:\nBorn in Baltimore in 1956\, Claire Pentecost is a visual artist\, writer and professor of Photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The artist explores the strategies of power that build knowledge using different media like photography\, painting\, writing\, performing art\, while she carries out her activity of teacher and activist. For many years her work investigated the contested line between the “natural” and the “artificial” in specific contexts\, such as the Institutions in charge of learning processes and production of knowledge. This research brought the artist to study the industrial food system with a particular interest in biotechnology in the agriculture field. Her works were presented in collective exhibitions such as Transmediale 05\, Berlin 2005; Mapping the Self\, Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago 2007; Heartland\, Smart Museum of Art\, Chicago 2009; dOCUMENTA(13)\, Kassel 2012; 13th Istanbul Biennial\, Istanbul 2013; Rights of Nature: Art and Ecology in the Americas\, Nottingham Contemporary\, Nottingham2015;Terra Anima\, Spencer Museum of Art\, University of Kansas\, Lawrence 2017. \n  \nFor further information\, please contact:\nEducation Department: \n011.9565213 \neduca@castellodirivoli.org \na.titolo: 011 8122634 \ncomphost.project@gmail.com URL:https://www.castellodirivoli.org/en/evento/living-matters-by-claire-pentecost/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.castellodirivoli.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/mycellium_through_microscope_9118-Low-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20190921T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20190922T200000 DTSTAMP:20260610T081343 CREATED:20190902T081830Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251125T132515Z UID:105000-1569067200-1569182400@www.castellodirivoli.org SUMMARY:For an Imaginist Renewal of the World. The Alba Congress: 1956-2019 DESCRIPTION:“Our Congress is like a huge and unknown chemical reaction”. \nPinot Gallizio\, 1956 \n   \nFor an Imaginist Renewal of the World. The Alba Congress: 1956-2019 \nFrom September 21 to 22\, 2019 \nAlba (CN) \nDrafted by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and Caterina Molteni \n  \nCastello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea and Fondazione CRC are organizing from 21 to 22 September 2019\, For an Imaginist Renewal of the World. The Alba Congress: 1956-2019\, a poetic reenactment of the First World Congress of Free Artists that took place from 2 to 8 September 1956 in Alba (Pinot Gallizio’s and Elena Verrone’s hometown)\, which anticipated by a year the foundation of the International Situationist in Cosio di Arroscia\, hometown of the artist Piero Simondo. \nWith the theme “The Free Arts and Industrial Activities”\, the congress gathered artists and intellectuals from eight different countries\, with the participation of representatives of the International Letterism\, of the Nuclear Art Movement and the dissolved CoBrA group\, under the coordination of the Experimental Laboratory of the International Movement for an “Imaginist Bauhaus” (MIBI)\, founded by Asger Jorn\, Pinot Gallizio and Piero Simondo in September 1955. \nThe three artists proposed a project of relationship between art and technique in contrast with the functionalist approach of the time. “Based on a subjective artistic research in favor of a democratic and collaborative vision of an art accessible to all”\, states the director of Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, “their laboratories were conceived as a space of collective and experimental work\, in which artistic sensitivity met the scientific and alchemic knowledge of materials (dust\, resins\, pigments). The interests extended to popular cultures and urban planning with the aim of realizing the idea of a “free” artist\, capable of operating and developing his own research transversely in different fields of knowledge.” \nIn the years preceding the Congress\, Asger Jorn had recently completed his experience with the CoBrA group (1948-1951) and traveled around Europe in search of a new collective vitality in the artistic production.  Meanwhile\, Pinot Gallizio\, a central figure in the Alba socio-cultural life as city councilor\, former partisan\, passionate researcher of popular cultures\, nomadism\, botany\, chemistry and archeology\, had come into contact with the young artist and philosophy student Piero Simondo\, who moved to Alba in 1952\, where he attended his girlfriend and philosophy student Elena Verrone. Gallizio and Simondo met soon after at a conference in Alba by Simondo and Michele Lo Sacco on the theme of German Expressionism. \nIn Albisola in 1955\, Gallizio and Simondo met Asger Jorn for the first time. The Danish artist had organised in those years the International Ceramics Meetinginvolving part of the Nuclear’s\, Lucio Fontana\, Karel Appel and Corneille\, Emilio Scanavino and Tullio Mazzotti d’Albisola. This exhibition introduces the artists into the debate against functionalism thanks to a new exhibition organised on the occasion of the International Congress of Industrial Designof the X Triennale di Milano. In the dispute over the relationship between art and technique\, in particular addressed to Max Bill’s functionalist aesthetics\, the artists play a central role in ceramics. The use of this material\, thanks to the element of unpredictability present in the processes of cooking and taking color\, allowed to project standardized and functional design objects from a perspective based on the dynamic experience of matter. \nThe First Congress of Free Artists started from these assumptions and concluded with the adoption of a common theoretical platform centered on the idea\, dear to the Lettrists\, of a ‘unitary urbanism’: the construction of an environment that\, thanks to the synthesis of art and technique\, was the place of a future lifestyle. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nFor an Imaginist Renewal of the World. The Alba Congress: 1956-2019 will be a widespread event and will take place in the council hall of the Municipality of Alba\, in the Centro Studi Beppe Fenoglio\, in the “Beppe Fenoglio” Hall and the Alba Wine School “Umberto I”\, spreading into the streets and alleys of the city. The program includes a series of ‘reports’ that will retrace the historical background\, the development and the theoretical and artistic implications of the Congress in the present time\, thanks to the contribution of art historians Maria Teresa Roberto and Giorgina Bertolino (Archivio Gallizio\, Turin)\, of the art historian Francesca Comisso from the curatorial collective a.titolo\, of art critic and curator Achille Bonito Oliva\, of Lori Waxman\, Senior lecturer at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, art historian and journalist\, of Tom McDonough\, Associate Professor of Art History Department at Binghamton University. \nThe 1956 Congress will also be reactivated by a series of ‘communications’ entrusted to artists and curators who will reinterpret the poetic and artistic heritage of its participants\, literally taking on their roles. As short readings\, projections of archive materials (es. Cinema Lettrista) and poetic actions\, these communications involve: Luca Avanzini\, Bernard Blistène\, Ludovica Carbotta\, Alex Cecchetti\, Cooking Sections\, Irene Dionisio\, Liam Gillick\, Renato Leotta\, Michael Rakowitz\, Gianluigi Ricuperati\, Amelia Simondo\, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Alice Visentin. \nA third part of the Congress has been conceived by art historian Lori Waxman as a public performance program on the art of walking. This will consist of the re-performance of historical pieces of walking art\, all of which will relate to the Situationist spirit either directly or indirectly. \nThe program foresees the participation of the public that can\, following the instructions of a booklet\, recreate the different works along the streets of Alba in the movements between the different venues hosting the Congress.

DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 24\, 2019\, 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. \nConference Hall\, Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art \n  \nCastello di Rivoli is pleased to announce the forthcoming talk Provenance: Can You Bank on It? presented at Castello di Rivoli Conference Hall by Dr. Lynn Rother\, Senior Provenance Specialist at The Museum of Modern Art\, New York followed by a Q&A. The evening program is part of the Workshop for Provenance Research\, a two-week study session including lectures\, hands-on exercises and discussion rounds with international experts in Provenance Research and Art Law jointly run by CRRI\, Centre for Research Castello di Rivoli\, and the Education Department\, led by Dr. Lynn Rother. \n  \nThe biggest art deal of the Nazi era occurred in August 1935 when the Prussian Finance Minister paid the enormous amount of 7.5 million German marks to the Dresdner Bank to acquire 4\,401 works of art for the Berlin museums. This momentous historical event is hardly known; Lynn Rother is one of the few scholars to research this extraordinary transaction and analyze its consequences in her book. “Kunst durch Kredit” (Art as Collateral) was published in 2017 to great critical acclaim in Germany and won the translation prize “Geisteswissenschaften International.” Using the sale of the Flemish old master paintings from the former collection of the Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen as a case study\, Provenance: Can You Bank on It? will examine the methodology\, sources\, and challenges of Nazi-era provenance research as it relates to art as collateral and the hidden aspects of the art market. \n  \nThe talk is followed by a Q&A featuring Dr. Lynn Rother\, Dr. Mara Wantuch-Thole\, a Berlin-based attorney specialized in advising private clients as well as German and international public institutions in the art sector and Paul Cossu\, a member of New York’s Pryor Cashman’s Art Law Group\, where he handles a range of litigation and transactional matters on behalf of auction houses\, artists\, museums\, and collectors \n  \nThe talk and Q&A are in English. \n  \nThe evening program is organized in collaboration with Family office Tosetti Value\, a benchmark in the enhancement and maintenance of family wealth. \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \nLynn Rother joined The Museum of Modern Art as Senior Provenance Specialist in 2015. She oversees provenance research\, procedures\, documentation and funding in conjunction with all curatorial departments regarding works in the Collection\, loans\, acquisitions\, and deaccessions. Before coming to MoMA\, she held various research positions at the Berlin State Museums working on all facets of World War II-era provenance as well as on digital initiatives co-financed by the European Commission. A former Fellow of The Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles and of the German Historical Institute in Moscow\, she has a Master’s degree in art history\, economics and law from the University of Leipzig and a Ph.D. in art history from the Technical University of Berlin. Beyond her World War II provenance research\, her academic interests are the history of 20th-century collecting\, art market practices\, and the digital humanities. \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMara Wantuch-Thole is an attorney admitted to the Bar in Germany. She is specialized in advising private clients as well as German and international public institutions in the art sector. Prior to founding her law firm\, Mara worked in several international corporate law firms\, for public cultural institutions\, as an advisor for the Spoliation Advisory Panel in the United Kingdom\, and for a Berlin-based law firm specialised in art and foundation law. \n \n  \n  \n  \nPaul Cossu is a member of Pryor Cashman’s Art Law Group\, where he handles a range of litigation and transactional matters on behalf of auction houses\, galleries\, artists\, museums\, collectors and other members of the arts community. Paul has litigated several high-profile stolen art and art forgery cases\, including cases concerning artwork alleged to have been looted by the Nazis. On the transactional side\, Paul handles a variety of purchase\, sale\, co-ownership\, consignment\, commission\, and loan agreements for a broad array of gallery\, advisory\, and art dealer clients.

As she herself explains: “In many texts we nd the idea that we humans are ‘instinctively territorial’. Could this instinct\, inherited from our animal ancestors\, explain our idea of private property\, territory\, frontier and lastly of nation? This would mean forgetting that these concepts are recent and historically positioned. Making animals into small bourgeois owners\, eager for exclusivity\, is not only a serious anachronism from the point of view of the history of evolution\, but it also means neglecting the inventiveness and the great diversity in the ways of living\, of sharing spaces and of being alone that is found among territorial beings”. \n\n\n\nIn particular the conference will look at the many researches conducted by ornithologists regarding birds. Why birds? Because they are the first to have aroused the curiosity of observers\, both amateurs and scientists\, on the question of territories. Then\, during these researches\, increasingly complex ways of organization were discovered. The territories become places of artistic performance\, of inventive forms of socialization; issues of composition and partition emerge. And the work of researchers\, since then\, has no longer been to seek a theory or an explanation\, but to honor these ways of organizing life together. \nRETURN TO EARTH\, WITH THE BIRDS by Vinciane Despret takes place on the occasion of GDC15 QUINDICESIMA GIORNATA DEL CONTEMPORANEO promoted by AMACI Associazione dei Musei d’Arte Contemporanea Italiani. The conference is in French with simultaneous translation in Italian\, with free admission subject to availability. \nBIOGRAPHY\nVinciane Despret (Anderlecht\, 1959) is a Belgian philosopher and psychologist\, associate professor at the University of Liège\, where she lives and works. Her entire career has focused on the relationship between human psychology and ethology. She worked for approximately twenty years mainly on the understanding of animals\, a field of research in which she has published a number of essays and various books\, including some that have been translated into Italian: What Would Animals Say If We Asked the Right Questions? (2016)\, Hans\, le cheval qui savait compter [Hans\, the Horse That Could Count] (2004)\, Quand le loup habitera avec l’agneau [When the Wolf Shall Dwell with the Lamb] (2002). In 2008 she also curated the exhibition Bêtes et hommes at the Grande Halle de La Villette in Paris. She has won important prizes\, including the “Humanités scienti ques” award from SciencesPo and the “Wernaers International Fund for Research and Dissemination of Knowledge” award. \nCOMP(H)OST is curated by a.titolo\, NERO and the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea\, in collaboration with the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam\, and is supported by Compagnia di San Paolo as part of the call “ORA! Produzioni di Cultura Contemporanea”\, with the hospitality of Duparc Contemporary Suites and the collaboration of Film Commission Torino Piemonte. \nCOMP(H)OST is based on an idea from Marianna Vecellio and Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy\, and is curated by Francesca Comisso and Luisa Perlo for a.titolo\, Marianna Vecellio for the Castello di Rivoli\, Lorenzo Gigotti\, Valerio Mannucci and Valerio Mattioli for NERO.

Conversation with Metahaven DESCRIPTION:LIVING THE SPRAWL\nConversation with Metahaven \nIntroduction by: Leonardo Dellanoce \n  \n  \nTeatro del Castello\, 6pm \n  \nLeading interpreters of the languages arisen with the use of new technologies\, protagonists of a research able to range from the world of design to theoretical thinking\, Metahaven will discuss for the first time in Italy their latest works in a live debate with curator Leonardo Dellanoce. \nFollowing the LIVING MATTERS project by American artist Claire Pentecost and the conference RETURN TO EARTH\, WITH THE BIRDS of Vinciane Despret\, LIVING THE SPRAWL is the third appointment of COMP(H)OST\, a project that deals with the trans-disciplinary themes of hospitality\, exchange and coexistence\, cooperation and cohabitation\, transformation and fertility\, via artistic productions\, seminars\, workshops\, conferences\, panel discussions\, conversations\, and live performances at the Castello di Rivoli and in different locations throughout the city of Turin. \nCreated as a “speculative design” collective\, Metahaven have over time focused on how our spaces are defined by the flow of information and propaganda that\, having originated in the digital world\, has ended up shaping the concrete reality of our daily experience. Key to Metahaven’s thought is the concept of sprawl: an ecosystem in which different versions of what we call “reality” coexist\, and in which so many parallel narratives proliferate that our notion of truth is redefined. So what value does the concept of identity acquire in an environment saturated with mutually contradicting stimuli\, starting from the overlap between the old rhetoric of sovereign states and the global scale on which today’s computational apparatus acts? \nStarting from their work in the field of documentaries and moving image\, the two founders of Metahaven Vinca Kruk and Daniel van der Velden will talk with curator Leonardo Dellanoce (Digital Earth) about their most recent works\, touching on themes ranging between art and cinema\, design and poetry\, and the representation of abstractions\, in an attempt to understand how\, through an imaginary defined by them as “soft sci-fi”\, it is possible to decipher an environment in which nature and culture coincide\, and in which it seems to have become impossible to distinguish between facts and fiction\, between imaginary pasts and artfully constructed futures. \nLIVING THE SPRAWL by Metahaven with Leonardo Dellanoce will take place in conjunction with the “Notte delle arti contemporanee”\, with the special late opening of the Castello di Rivoli until 10.00 pm. \nThe conference is in English with consecutive interpretation: free admission subject to availability. \nBIOGRAPHIES\nThe work of Metahaven consists of filmmaking\, writing\, and design\, and is united conceptually by interests in poetry\, storytelling\, propaganda\, and digital superstructures. Films by Metahaven include The Sprawl (Propaganda about Propaganda) (2015)\, Information Skies (2016)\, Hometown (2018) and Eurasia (Questions on Happiness)(2018). Recent solo exhibitions include Version History at the ICA London (2018)\, and Earth at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (2018). Recent group exhibitions include Ghost:2651 in Bangkok (2018)\, the Sharjah Biennial (2017)\, and the Gwangju Biennale (2016). Recent publications by Metahaven include PSYOP (2018)\, and Digital Tarkovsky (2018). \nLeonardo Dellanoce is an Italian curator who lives in Amsterdam. In his research he explores technological realities using art and design as navigation tools. He has worked with artists\, designers and theorists on various collaborative projects.

If Nature Is Unjust\, Change Nature DESCRIPTION:COMP(H)OST #4\nWednesday\, November 20\, 7 pm \nCircolo del Design \nVia San Francesco da Paola 17 \n  \n\n\nXenofeminism is the line of thought that in recent years has most investigated the relationship between gender policies and accelerating technologies\, with the objective of drawing on and surpassing the legacy of cyber theory developed in the 1980s by Donna Haraway. Originally formulated in the Xenofeminist Manifesto by the transnational collective Laboria Cuboniks\, Xenofeminism has quickly established itself as one of the main turning points in the debate that in recent years has seen the world of politics and the arts confront: the meeting with Diann Bauer\, visual artist and co-founder of Laboria Cuboniks\, will be an opportunity to discuss not only the influence and developments of the original manifesto\, but also the way in which its themes continue to reverberate in arts and in the creative languages of the contemporary world. \nIn particular\, Diann Bauer will speak about her work in relation to Xenofeminism proposing that the understanding of “alienation” provided by that project could open ways for thinking about how we\, as a species\, approach the existential threats of climate change. It is an idea that she has developed in collaboration with another working group of artists and architects called A.S.T. (the Alliance of the Southern Triangle). \nIF NATURE IS UNJUST\, CHANGE NATURE\, is the fourth appointment of COMP(H) OST\, a project that deals with the trans-disciplinary themes of hospitality\, exchange and coexistence\, cooperation and cohabitation\, transformation and fertility\, via artistic productions\, seminars\, workshops\, conferences\, panel discussions\, conversations\, and live performances at the Castello di Rivoli and in different locations throughout the city of Turin \n\n\n\nOn this occasion\, COMP(H)OST will be a guest of Turin’s Circolo del Design\, a new open\, inclusive and participatory space\, which sets out to explore the contemporary\, the experimentation and the actors that represent the avant- garde in the various fields of design. The meeting with Diann Bauer will take place as part of the Ciclo dei Mercoledì (Wednesday Cycle)\, which highlights contemporary themes thanks to the contribution of specialists – in disciplines different from design\, who open the debate starting from the core of their own research. These Wednesday meetings are organized with the scientific curatorship of c.lab\, an inter-university laboratory run by Politecnico di Torino and Università degli Studi di Torino. \nBIOGRAPHY\nDiann Bauer is an artist and writer based in London. She is part of the working group LaboriaCuboniks who in 2015 wrote Xenofeminism: A Politics of Alienationandthe collaborative A.S.T. based in Miami\, whose focus is Urbanism and climate change. Bauer has screened and exhibited internationally at Tate Britain and The Showroom\, London\, The Sharjah Biennale 13\, UAE\, Deste Foundation\, Athens\, The New Museum\, New York. She has taught and lectured widely at universities and cultural institutions including: Cornell University\, Yale University and Cooper Union (US)\, HKW (Germany)\, DAI (Netherlands)\, AshkalAlwan (Lebanon)\, Ocean Space\, Venice\, Goldsmiths\, The Baltic\, The Tate and the ICA (UK). \nCOMP(H)OST is produced by a.titolo\, NERO and the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea\, in collaboration with the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam\, and is supported by Compagnia di San Paolo as part of the call “ORA! Produzioni di Cultura Contemporanea”\, with the hospitality of Duparc Contemporary Suites and the collaboration of Film Commission Torino Piemonte. It is based on an idea from Marianna Vecellio and Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy. \nCOMP(H)OST is curated by Francesca Comisso and Luisa Perlo for a.titolo\, Marianna Vecellio for the Castello di Rivoli\, Lorenzo Gigotti\, Valerio Mannucci and Valerio Mattioli for NERO.

Modena \nInstallation: CIEM S.a.s. Turin \nTurin\, Piazza San Carlo \nFrom November 24\, 2019 until January 12\, 2020. \nM I R A C O L A  timetable \n9\,18 pm ; 9\,38 pm ; 10\,03 pm; 10\,28 pm; 10\,53 pm; 11\,28 pm; 12\,08 pm; 12\,33 pm\, 00\, 12 am \n  \nCastello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea has commissioned for the City of Turin an unprecedented public lighting installation designed by the Italian artist Roberto Cuoghi(Modena\, 1973) for Luci d’Artista. \nThe Turin-based Luci d’Artista festival\, established in 1998 and unique in the world\, represents a veritable open-air contemporary art exhibition that every year from the end of October to the beginning of January illuminates the squares and streets of Turin from the center to the outskirts. \nThis new Luce d’Artista\, donated by Roberto Cuoghi to the City of Turin\, renews the vocation of the City to commission new public works of art and to expand its collection of Luci d’Artista. Created to coincide with the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci (1519)\, the work required the active collaboration of all public and private premises in Piazza San Carlo in a new form of citizen participation. The work\, realized by IREN\, is co-produced by the City of Turin and Castello di Rivoli in collaboration with Fondazione per la Cultura Torino and Fondazione Contrada Onlus\, with the main sponsorship of FPT Industrial. This work was made possible also with the generous support of Hauser & Wirth. \nRoberto Cuoghi’s work M I R A C O L A is an unprecedented and synaesthetic experience in one of Turin’s main squares\, Piazza San Carlo\, where public and private lights will periodically fade\, creating a luminous choreography that immerses passers-by in moments of absolute darkness\, to then illuminate the square. The passage from light to darkness generates tension and expectation. \nM I R A C O L A(from mirari – admire)\, suggests a visual phenomenon out of the ordinary\, attributed to supernatural causes. The experience of darkness that appears as a result of the synchronization of the lights of the square appears as the miraculous experience of disappearance\, of not appearing. \nRoberto Cuoghi states\, “I have symphonized the lights of the ‘living room’ of Turin\, to force them to consider the cognitive constraints that separate light from darkness; for the characteristics that I wanted it to have and that it has\, M I R A C O L A is an anti-rhetorical work\, not vandalizable\, replicable and non-invasive.” \nThe work is a re-thinking of darkness not only as an absence of perception but also as a device generating individual and collective experience\, a bit like living the square at night as it was lived in the eighteenth century\, before artificial lighting. This is the light installation by Cuoghi with which the City of Turin pays tribute to the theories on the relationship between light and shadow by Leonardo da Vinci\, precisely in the year of the celebrations for the 500th anniversary of his death. Leonardo\, in his Treatise on Painting (circa 1540) writes: “Shadow is the privation of light\, and only opposition of dense bodies opposed to light rays; shadow is of the nature of darkness\, light is by nature light\, one ascends and the other demonstrates; I am always in company with bodies; and the shadow is of greater power than the light\, which prevents it from prohibiting and entirely deprives the bodies of light\, and light can never hunt throughout the shadow of bodies\, that is\, dense bodies.” According to Christov-Bakargiev\, “This reflection of Leonardo could be read in relation to the principle of obscuration. There is light\, and it is right that there is. Darkness is always an exceptional event due exclusively to the absence of light\, be it natural or artificial. The dark instead no! The darkness is always and only natural! Even if\, in the present time\, to produce darkness we have to turn off artificial light\, the same that illuminates our city spaces prolonging life at night. In the final analysis\, being in the dark would be the most natural thing in the world and instead to us contemporaries it appears as a completely artificial experience. Today I think that Leonardo would not have added more light and other energy consumption to the already hyper-illuminated city. He would have taken it away. And he would have dreamed.” \nOnce again in Cuoghi’s work\, who represented Italy at the Venice Biennale in 2017\, experimenting\, doing\, learning\, inventing are fundamental and everything comes together to create and recreate situations in which the centrality of the viewer and his ability to interaction with the artwork is fundamental. \nThe artist thanks Jacopo Galavotti\, Italianist and teacher of metrics and stylistics. \nThanks to Marcella Beccaria\, Chief Curator and Curator of the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Collections. \nThe Castello di Rivoli and the City of Turin thank the stores\, offices\, entreprises and the inhabitants of Piazza San Carlo for their cooperation\, including Algozzini Gioielli\, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A.\, Benetton\, Biraghi\, Brooksfield Torino 1971\, Bruschi-Pavin Boutiques\, Caffè Mokita\, Caffè San Carlo\, Caffè Torino\, Crédit Agricole\, Deutsche Bank\, Garaffo Gioielleria\, Gelati Cecchi 1936\, Gioielleria Monticone\, Giorgio Cavalitto\, Goethe-Institut Torino\, Hermès\, Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A.\, Francesca Lavazza\, Alessandro Marcato\, Mediolanum\, Ordine degli Architetti di Torino and Fondazione per l’Architettura/Torino\, Ordine degli Ingegneri della Provincia di Torino\, Posh Torino\, Gianluigi Ricuperati\, Sinatra Profumerie\, Giorgina Siviero\, Stone Island\, Stratta\, Y Piazza San Carlo\, as well as all those who wish to remain anonymous. \nThe work has been realized with the generous support of Hauser & Wirth  \n \n\n\nMain Sponsor\n\n\n\nIn collaboration with\n\n\n  \nBiographical notes\nRoberto Cuoghi (b. Modena\, Italy\, 1973) lives and works in Milan. The artist creates works that act as devices or psycho-sensorial machines capable of de-locating (even only from the point of view of suggestion)\, in other spaces and other times\, the visitor\, the ultimate recipient of the created situation. A new\, poetic and alienating approach\, which uses the eyes and the conceptual and emotional apparatus of the other to expand the potential of the work to infinity. Cuoghi experiments with sculpture\, installation\, sound\, painting\, drawing\, photography\, performance and conceptual actions. Slight physical alterations\, complete metamorphoses\, temporary disappearances\, journeys in the immediate future or in the more remote past are some of the elements that characterize his everyday life. Comparing his own obsessions\, the artist reinvents himself and his own practice\, making metamorphosis his modus operandi. Cuoghi has participated in three editions of the Venice Biennale: Il mondo magico\, Italian Pavilion\, 57. Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte\, Biennale di Venezia\, Venice\, 2017; Il Palazzo Enciclopedico\, 55. Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte\, Biennale di Venezia\, Venice\, 2013; Fare Mondi/Making Worlds\, 53. Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte\, Biennale di Venezia\, Venice\, 2009.

METAMORPHOSIS. WE ARE ALL THE SAME LIFE DESCRIPTION:COMP(H)OST #5\nSaturday February 15\, 2020 \nCastello di Rivoli di Museo d’Arte Contemporanea  \nTheater\, 5 pm   \n  \nCOMP(H)OST events will resume at the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea on Saturday 15 February with the conference Metamorphosis. We are all the same lifeby philosopher Emanuele Coccia. \nAn important international figure of the contemporary philosophical discussion\, Emanuele Coccia attracted the attention of the general public with Life of Plants: A Metaphysics of mixture\, a book published in France in 2016 and two years later in Italy\, in which the author proposes a new reading of the genesis of life starting from plants. Agents of union between earth and sky\, plants are identified in Coccia’s reflection as the paradigmatic expression of the interrelation between all forms of life and matter\, through exchange and transformation methods that overcome oppositional binary logic in favor of unity. \nIn this perspective\, metamorphosis exemplifies the fluid condition of being. “We all experienced it when we were children – Coccia says – a caterpillar becomes a butterfly: the same life is incarnated in two bodies that have nothing in common. One is a huge digestive tube on legs that climbs along the ground\, the other is a machine that flutters to mate: they have neither the same anatomical identity\, nor the same clothes\, nor share a specific world\, yet they are the same self\, and they are intimately related to each other\, like we all are to our child self. This relationship is not limited to the caterpillar and the butterfly\, but extends to all living beings. Regardless of the species and the kingdom to which they belong\, all living bodies\, present\, past and future\, are the same life that is transmitted from body to body\, from species to species\, from era to era. Metamorphosis is the relationship that unites all living beings with the planet\, of which they are the expression: life is only the butterfly of this huge caterpillar that is our Earth”. \n  \nBiography\nEmanuele Coccia is an Italian philosopher who lives in Paris\, where he teaches at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS)\, one of the most important schools of contemporary human sciences. Starting from studies on Averroes and Averroism\, his research turned to the ontological status of images and their regulatory power\, and to the investigation about the nature of living beings. Regarding these issues\, he has published numerous books\, translated into various languages\, including Sensible Life(Il Mulino\, 2011)\, which analyzes sensitivity as a complementary\, rather that opposed\, ability to rational thinking\, The good in things. Advertising as a moral discourse(Il Mulino\, 2014)\, and the most recent and well-known Life of Plants: A Metaphysics of mixture(Il Mulino\, 2018)\, which has been translated into ten languages. He has collaborated on editorial projects with the philosopher Giorgio Agamben and held lectures and courses in the universities of Freiburg\, Tokyo\, Buenos Aires\, Düsseldorf\, Amsterdam\, at Columbia University and Princeton. \nMETAMORPHOSIS. WE ARE ALL THE SAME LIFE is the fifth appointment COMP(H)OST\,and will be held at Teatro del Castello at 5 pm with free admission. The Rivoli Express shuttle round-trip service is available from the centre of Turin with departures from Piazza Castello and Porta Susa station (Piazza XVIII Dicembre). \nCOMP(H)OST is produced by a.titolo\, NERO and the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea\, in collaboration with the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam\, and is supported by Compagnia di San Paolo as part of the call “ORA! Produzioni di Cultura Contemporanea”\, with the contribution of Regione Piemonte\, the hospitality of Duparc Contemporary Suites and the collaboration of Film Commission Torino Piemonte. \nCOMP(H)OST is based on an idea from Marianna Vecellio and Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy \, and it is curated by Francesca Comisso and Luisa Perlo for a.titolo\, Marianna Vecellio for the Castello di Rivoli\, Lorenzo Gigotti\, Valerio Mannucci and Valerio Mattioli for NERO. \n  \nWhat is Comp(h)ost\nCOMP(H)OST is a project in which the notion of composting meets the one of hospitality. With its references to the concepts of soil\, waste and fertility\, compost is a place of mixture and constant transformation between states of matter\, of alliances between forms of life\, in which “similar” and “different” are co-present in a condition of vitality and growth. \nInspired by the compost notion developed by philosopher and biologist Donna Haraway in her texts\, the formula of comp(h)ost proposed in this project takes on two complementary nuances: an organic one\, which concerns ecological issues in all their various articulations\, and a social one\, which examines the political and economic problems of our time. In this dual variation\, the project explores directions of artistic research and contemporary thought that in the light of current emergencies provide visions and productive suggestions of new scenarios and possible new life practices. \nBy evoking the generative and fertilizing power of the guest\, COMP(H)OST starts from the figure of the artist as an embodiment of mobility\, of “extraneousness” and as an essential element for the triggering of processes\, in order to reactivate their function as investigators about the themes of cohabitation\, ties\, cooperation\, cohabitation and the relationship between nature and artifice\, between waste and resource\, between what is and what could be. \nFor this purpose\, COMP(H)OST involves the artists Claire Pentecost\, Rossella Biscotti and Otobong Nkanga\, in the production of performances and workshops conceived specifically for the project\, as part of a programme of seminars\, conferences\, panel discussions\, talks and live performances that since July 2019 has already hosted\, among others\, the Dutch artists and designers Metahaven in conversation with the curator Leonardo Dellanoce\, Diann Bauer\, artist and co-founder of the xenofeminist collective Laboria Cuboniks\, philosophers Vinciane Despret and Emanuele Coccia. \nCOMP(H)OST declines the notions of hospitality and compost\, as an expression of exchange\, synergy and mixture\, in the very structure of the project\, which is realized through a real engagement of the city and its territory. People\, stories\, places\, planning and skills are involved in the development of the research and projects of the invited artists\, in order to establish new connections and give the audience a chance to learn about contexts and knowledge that are sometimes not very well known outside of their fields of specialization. In this perspective\, COMP(H)OST involved so far experts\, artists\, and realities such as the PAV – Parco Arte Vivente\, the non-profit organization COORPI Coordinamento Danza Piemonte\, and the new Circolo del Design. \nCOMP(H)OST is also a Communication Laboratory\, headed by filmmaker Irene Dionisio and photographer Francesca Cirilli\, for the production of audiovisual and photographic documentation and story-telling of the project. Started in May\, the Laboratory of COMP(H)OST is hosted at the Film Commission Torino Piemonte and involves a group of young artists\, photographers and filmmakers\, selected through a call for proposals\, composed by Daniele Alef Grillo\, Laura Barrios\, Michela Curti\, Matteo Grasso\, Federico Pozuelo\, Isabella Quaranta\, Michela Ronco\, Giovanni Sambo\, Francesca Ticca\, Giulia Travaglio\, Ettore Ventura and Carla Vivalda.

The artwork is set up outside the Castello in the ancient decagonal basin made in 1868 to celebrate the inauguration of the aqueduct in the city of Rivoli. \nThe 56 rods from which the water spurts\, similar to thin bamboo canes and five meters high\, are painted in blue and red and have been made of anodized aluminum with the contemporary technique of “lost foam” which originates from the ancient method of “lost wax”\, used to produce statues in bronze. \n“The work designed by Bagnoli\,” states Marcella Beccaria\, Chief Curator and Curator of Collections of the Museum\, “is composed by canes arranged in ‘quincunx’\, the arrangement in parallel rows staggered by half a step\, similar to the number five in the dice. Unit of measurement used since the time of the ancient Romans\, the quincunx corresponds to the fraction 5/12\, as indicated by the eponymous Latin word\, given by quinque ‘five’ and uncia ‘ounce’\, submultiple that indeed represents the twelfth part of a unit. In its visual form\, the quincunx is composed by a ‘V’\, five in Latin\, duplicated and upturned at the corner\, so to form the letter ‘X’. Currently adopted in arboriculture to arrange various types of plantations in a geometric shape\, the pattern of the quincunx can be traced back to ancient times. Already used in the Gardens of Babylon and perhaps by Noah after the Flood\, the quincunx could even descend from the arrangement of trees in Paradise\, which literally means garden. In nature\, the quincunx can be found in the structure of leaves\, flowers and seeds of tree species. Applications of the quincunx included the layout of military formations among the Macedonians\, the Greeks and the Romans\, and is also traceable in some ancient town planning\, in architecture\, in chess-board games\, and even in the Labyrinth of Crete\, as told by Sir Thomas Browne in The Garden of Cyrus\, a scholarly volume on the subject published in 1658. \nIntentionally\, Bagnoli’s work embraces these infinite references\, and the X-shaped structure at the basis of the work can be interpreted in relation to the formula SPACE X TIME which summarizes the artist’s research.” \nBiography\nAfter a scientific education and a degree in chemistry\, Marco Bagnoli (Empoli\, 1949)\, starts to work as an artist in the 70s. His important international exhibitions include Venice Biennale (1982\, 1986\, 1997)\, documenta\, Kassel (1982\, 1992)\, and Sonsbeek\, Arnhem (1986). Solo exhibitions where held in prestigious institutions\, such as De Appel\, Amsterdam (1980 and 1984)\, Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève\, Genève (1985)\, Musée Saint-Pierre art contemporain\, Lyon (1987)\, Magasin\, Centre National d’Art Contemporain\, Grenoble (1991)\, Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea\, Rivoli-Torino (1992)\, Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci\, Prato (1995)\, IVAM\, Centre del Carme\, Valencia (2000)\, České Muzeum Výtvarných Umění\, Prague (2009)\, Madre\, Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Donnaregina\, Naples (2015). In 1981 he conceived an installation for the Villa Medicea La Ferdinanda di Artimino\, followed by works made in dialogue with architectures of historical and spiritual importance\, such as\, in Florence\, the Cappella Pazzi (1984)\, the Octagonal Hall of the Fortezza da Basso (1989)\, the Abbey of San Miniato al Monte (1992\, 1994\, 2012\, 2018-2019)\, the Forte di Belvedere (2003\, 2017)\, the Boboli Gardens (2013)\, the Stazione Leopolda (2014). On May 2017 the artist opened the Atelier Marco Bagnoli in Montelupo Fiorentino. The Atelier is a multifunctional space\, conceived as a “total work of art” hosting an exhibition in progress of his works\, from 1972 to the present. Works by Bagnoli are part of the collections of several international institutions. Since 1976 the artist made many permanent installations\, including works for Palazzo Durini and the Piantagione Paradise of Bolognano in Pescara; Ascolta il flauto di canna (Listen to the Cane Flute)\, 1985-2007\, and Dacché sia notte\, entra (Since Night\, Enter)\, 2007\, in the park of Villa La Magia in Quarrata; Amore e Psiche\, 2010\, in the Parco Mediceo di Pratolino in Vaglia; Immacolata concezione (Immaculate conception)\, 2011\, inside the ChiantiBanca in Piazza Duomo in Florence; the fountain L’anello mancante alla catena che non c’è (The missing link to the chain that does not exist\, 1989-2017) in Piazza Ciardi in Prato. \nFor the celebrations of its Millennium 1018-2018\, the Abbey of San Miniato al Monte commissioned to the artist the work Janua Coeli\, an installation of works inside and outside the Basilica\, and of opening and closing ceremonial events. In 2018 Germano Celant published the monograph Marco Bagnoli (Skira\, Milan) with unpublished texts by the artist. \nPart of the permanent collection of the Museum\, the work by Bagnoli Cinquantasei nomi was presented for the first time at the Castello in June 2000\, commissioned by the former Director Ida Gianelli and produced with the contribution of Dongo S.p.A. The current restoration is made possible thanks to the support of Seda Group and Gianfranco D’Amato.

What is the relationship between those who hosts and are hosted? How does the reciprocity that the Italian language assigns to this relationship – to the point of using a single word for both-\, survive and manifest itself in current practices? These and other issues\, crucial considering the worsening conditions of social injustice\, marginality and poverty diffused at all levels\, from the local ones of urban peripheries to the global one of migrant populations\, are addressed in a seminar conducted by Francesco Careri with the participation of Lorenzo Romito\, of Palestinian artist Sandi Hilal\, of French political scientist Sebastien Thiery\, of Maurizio Cilli and Stefano Mirti. \nFrancesco Careri and Lorenzo Romito are co-founders of Stalker.

What are the traumatic consequences of the sudden increase in virtual activities in a period when spaces of aggregation\, such as museums\, are in lockdown? Digital PTSD invites to reflect on screen-based experience\, the physical erosion of living matter\, the transformation of life into big data and the new digital epistemic regime. \nParticipants in Part I include: Tabita Rezaire\, artist; Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, museum director\, exhibition maker\, writer; Beatriz Colomina & Mark Wigley\, architectural historians\, theorists\, curators; Cécile B. Evans\, artist; Matteo Pasquinelli\, cognitive sciences\, digital economy\, machine intelligence theorist; Hito Steyerl\, filmmaker\, visual artist\, writer\, and innovator of the essay documentary; Grada Kilomba\, artist and writer; Anne Imhof\, artist musician; Bracha L. Ettinger\, painter\, theorist\, psychoanalyst; Éric Sadin\, writer and philosopher; Vittorio Gallese\, cognitive neuroscientist; Ophelia Deroy\, philosopher and cognitive neuroscientist; Griselda Pollock\, feminist-postcolonial-queer-international art historian and cultural analyst; Agnieszka Kurant\, artist; Cally Spooner\, artist; Chus Martínez\, curator and writer; Stuart Ringholt\, artist; Marco Lutyens\, artist and hypnotist. \nInvited speakers in Digital PTSD – Part II\, taking place on May 20\, 2021\, include: Devra Davis\, Irene Dionisio\, Catherine Malabou\, Otobong Nkanga\, Shoshana Zuboff\, amongst others. \nDIGITAL PTSD – PART I \nPARTICIPANTS BIOGRAPHIES\nCarolyn Christov-Bakargiev I \nCarolyn Christov-Bakargiev II \nCastello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Director\, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev introduces some of the concerns which prompted this program. She believes a trauma related to digital overload may be emerging and requires addressing and healing. Museums are the symbolic site of a society\, and\, as such\, in the future they must transform into a gym where the ability to connect the symbolic\, real and imaginary spheres can be exercised. Christov-Bakargiev proposes that it is necessary to re-imagine museums in the twenty-first century in light of this task\, bringing all these dimensions to intersect and overcome a binary\, Descartian approach to the body/mind\, real/virtual\, dichotomy. \nCarolyn Christov-Bakargiev is a writer\, art historian and curator. Currently\, she is the Director of Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea and Fondazione Francesco Federico Cerruti in Turin. She is the recipient of the 2019 Audrey Irmas Award for Curatorial Excellence. She was Edith Kreeger Wolf Distinguished Visiting Professor in Art Theory and Practice at Northwestern University (2013-2019). Christov-Bakargiev was Artistic Director of dOCUMENTA (13) in 2012. \n  \nTabita Rezaire\nPremium Connect\, 2017\nSingle channel video\, 13’\nCourtesy the Artist \nPremium Connect envisions a study of information and communication technologies (ICT)\, exploring African divination systems\, the fungi underworld\, ancestors communication and quantum physics to (re)think our information conduits. Embracing the idea that ICT acts as a mirror of the organic world\, capable of healing or poisoning depending on its usage and users\, Premium Connect investigates the cybernetics spaces where the organic\, technologic and spiritual worlds connect. How can we use biological and spiritual systems to fuel technological processes of information\, control and governance? Overcoming the organism/spirit/device dichotomies\, this work explores spiritual connections as communication networks and the possibilities of decolonial technologies. \nTabita Rezaire is an artist-healer-seeker working with screens and energy streams. Her cross-dimensional practice envisions network sciences – organic\, electronic and spiritual – as healing technologies to serve the shift towards heart consciousness. Navigating digital\, corporeal and ancestral memory as sites of struggles\, she digs into scientific imaginaries to tackle the pervasive matrix of coloniality that affect the songs of our body-mind-spirits. She has shown her work internationally at Centre Pompidou Paris\, MoMa NY\, MASP São Paulo\, Gropius Bau Berlin\, ICA and Tate Modern London. Rezaire currently lives and works in Cayenne\, French Guiana\, where she is birthing AMAKABA. \n  \nIrene Dionisio\nGerm Theory\, 2020\nSingle channel video\, 1’14”\nCourtesy the Artist \nIn The Stack. On Software and Sovereignity\, Benjamin Bratton analyzes digital changes in the context of a review of political philosophy. From cloud platforms to mobile apps\, passing through the connectivity that increasingly crosses contemporary cities\, Bratton proposes to frame the different computational systems that act in everyday life no longer as forms that exist independently\, linked by contingent interactions\, but as a coherent whole; a fuzzy entity that Bratton calls an “accidental megastructure”\, both a computational infrastructure and a new governance architecture. This infrastructure takes the form of a stack structured by six interconnected levels: Earth (the raw material used by digital technology)\, Cloud (the weight of global corporations such as Google\, Amazon and Facebook on the sovereignty of states)\, City (the daily experience of the cloud-computerized urban space)\, Address (identification as a form of management and control)\, Interface (the interfaces that connect user and computer\, such as apps)\, User (human and non-human agents such as bots and some types of social accounts). Paraphrasing Bratton\, the data of the individuals shape the megastructure. At the same time\, the megastructure shapes the data of the individual and the space in which it moves. \n  \nBeatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley \nIn their landmark 2016 book Are We Human?\, Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley explored the way that the human species has always been continuously and radically redesigned by its technologies. In a time in which the smartphone is the first and last thing we touch each day\, the supposedly private spaces of the brain and the home been dramatically transformed. The brain has become a factory and the bed has become an epicenter of labor. In this short lecture\, they further expand this analysis to take into account some of the social and mediatic transformations triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and the reliance on digital telecommunication that it exposed. \nBeatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley are architectural historians\, theorists and curators. Colomina is the Howard Crosby Butler Professor at Princeton University and her latest book is X-Ray Architecture (Lars Muller\, 2019). Wigley is professor of architecture at Columbia University and his latest book is Konrad Wachsmann’s Television: Post-Architectural Transmissions (Sternberg Press\, 2020). In their Are We Human? book (Lars Muller\, 2016) Colomina and Wigley explore the notions of “Homo Cellular” and “Design in Two Seconds”\, interested in understanding how the archaeology of design applies to social media and technological devices in relation to mechanisms of personal expression and the performance of labour. \n  \nCécile B. Evans \nCécile B. Evans is an American-Belgian artist living and working in London. Evans’ work examines the value of emotion and its rebellion as it comes into contact with ideological\, physical\, and technological structures. They have recently exhibited a new performance commission for the MOVE festival at Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, and are working on an ongoing adaptation of the Industrial Era ballet Giselle. Recent selected solo exhibitions include 49 Nord 6 Est – Frac Lorraine\, Museum Abteiberg\, Tramway\, Chateau Shatto\, Museo Madre\, all 2019; mumok Vienna\, 2018; Castello di Rivoli\, Galerie Emanuel Layr\, Tate Liverpool\, Kunsthalle Aarhus\, M Museum Leuven\, in 2017; De Hallen Haarlem\, 2016; and Serpentine Galleries\, 2014. \n  \nMatteo Pasquinelli \nMatteo Pasquinelli proposes to look at the history of the notion of trauma in order to understand the way we talk about trauma today. He offers a brief presentation highlighting\, through historical examples\, the ways in which the human mind organizes itself to survive trauma\, and how the study of these neuroplastic processes has been fundamental in the development of Artificial Intelligence technology and philosophy. In order to learn and progress\, our brain produces “small catastrophic reactions”\, which Pasquinelli defines as forms of “self-organized trauma”. Drawing on these research premises\, his presentation touches on the psychopathologies of intelligent machines and attempts at a definition of trauma in the age of A.I.. \nMatteo Pasquinelli is Professor in Media Philosophy at the University of Arts and Design\, Karlsruhe\, where he is coordinating the research group on Artificial Intelligence and Media Philosophy KIM. He edited the open-access anthology Alleys of Your Mind: Augmented Intelligence and Its Traumas (2015\, Meson Press) and\, with Vladan Joler\, the visual essay The Nooscope Manifested: AI as Instrument of Knowledge Extractivism. His research focuses on the intersection of cognitive sciences\, digital economy and machine intelligence. For Verso Books he is preparing a monograph on the history of AI provisionally titled The Eye of the Master. \n  \nHito Steyerl \nArtist Hito Steyerl introduces her presentation with her new short film Mein Internetvortrag: Vorteile der Automatisierung des Schauspielers der Schauspielerin w Mark Waschke (My Internet Lecture: The Advantages of Automatization for Actors and Actresses By Mark Waschke). The protagonist is a TV cop\, played by German actor Mark Waschke\, who discusses digitization of work\, avatar animations\, police brutality and protests. The video is followed by a short lecture by Steyerl\, titled 2020 in 10 memes. \nSteyerl is a filmmaker\, visual artist\, writer\, and innovator of the essay documentary. She is currently a professor of New Media Art at the University of the Arts\, Berlin\, where she co-founded the Research Centre for Proxy Politics. Steyerl has produced a variety of work as a filmmaker and author in the field of essayist documentary\, filmography and post-colonial critique\, both as a producer and theorist. She is widely published in periodicals\, newspapers\, journals and anthologies\, as well as her own publications\, including the critically acclaimed Duty-Free Art: Art in the Age of Planetary Civil War in 2017. \n  \nGrada Kilomba \nGrada Kilomba and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev tackle some of the complexities of contemporary digital technologies\, highlighting the necessity to problematize their use beyond polarizing dichotomies. Kilomba’s work on colonial trauma provides a lens to consider how digitization cannot in itself be separated from the history of colonialism\, and to discuss the socio-political emancipation of marginalized communities through digital networks. \nGrada Kilomba is an artist and writer\, living in Berlin. Her work draws on memory\, trauma and post-colonialism. Kilomba is best known for her subversive writing and her unique practise of storytelling\, in which she brings her own writing into performance\, image and installation. Her work has been presented at the 10th Berlin Biennale\, 2018\, documenta 14\, Kassel\, 2017\, and the 32. São Paulo Biennale\, 2016. \n  \nAnne Imhof \nLooking at Caravaggio’s seminal painting Narcissus\, which will be featured in Anne Imhof’s upcoming show at Castello di Rivoli\, Anne Imhof and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev consider the collapse of the image in its own reflection as a representation of the narcissistic times we live in\, punctuated by the constant capturing of selfies on our phones. However\, Imhof’s reading of narcissism shifts it away from a merely negative connotation\, opening the concept up to further levels of self-interpretation. A selfie could be a tool to re-discover ourselves in an unexpected way and understand what role we may play in this accelerated society\, if only we were willing to read our image differently. \nAnne Imhof is an artist musician based in Berlin. Through her sculptures\, paintings\, drawings and “durational performances\,” she offers an unprecedented expression of the experience of the contemporary world in which physicality is increasingly mediated by digital communication. The new forms of alienation and detachment dictated by the massive spread of social media and its new related gestures can be considered an essential component in the artist’s work. She was awarded with the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2017. \n  \nBracha L. Ettinger \nAs an artist\, and drawing on her cross-disciplinary knowledge in visuals arts\, philosophy and psychoanalysis\, Bracha L. Ettinger discusses her seminal concept of Matrixial gaze\, screen\, time and copoiesis\, to problematise the accelerated hyper-connectivity whose effect of digital stupor she assigns to “a fused screen-gaze in symbiosis with the psychic eye” which\, mounted upon narcissistic routes in denial of differences\, collapses the psychic future time at the service of a phallic Web of webs. Starting with an analysis of Caravaggio’s Narcissus in terms of Death-drive\, Ettinger ends with a discussion of care\, deceleration and compassion-beyond-empathy in relation to her painting Eurydice\, The Graces\, Demeter (2006-2012). \nL. Ettinger is an international visual artist\, painter and theorist\, psychoanalyst and philosopher\, whose wide-ranging artworks and writings have influenced art theory\, feminism\, cultural studies\, philosophy and psychoanalysis. Her artworking revolves around historical\, transgenerational and personal trauma of women in war. She is participating in Espressioni at Castello di Rivoli\, 2020-2021\, and has exhibited in Kochi Biennale\, 2018\, Colori at GAM Turin and Castello di Rivoli\, 2017\, 14th Istanbul Biennial\, 2015\, ELLE at Centre Pompidou\, Face à l’Histoire at Centre Pompidou\, Archive at Stedelijk Museum. She has coined the concept of Matrixial sphere. Her recent books include And My Heart Wound-Space (2015); Matrixial Subjectivity\, Aesthetics\, Ethics\, Vol I: 1990-2000 (Palgrave 2020)\, Vol II: 2000-2010. \n  \nÉric Sadin  \nIn his latest essay L’Ère de l’individu tyran. La fin d’un monde commun (“The Age of the Tyrant Individual. The end of a common world”)\, Éric Sadin delivers a new analysis through a historical\, political\, social\, economic and technical perspective on what he defines as the “tyrant individual”. A product of recent technological progress – including the development of the internet\, smartphones\, and applications magnifying our image and giving the feeling that the world is at our feet – this individual is an ultra-connected being\, withdrawn into his subjectivity\, convinced to be center of the world\, know everything\, do anything. Anchored in the I of Iphone\, the You of Youtube\, the tyrant individual sees a weapon in modern technological tools that will allow him to influence the course of things. \nÉric Sadin\, writer and philosopher\, is one of the leading thinkers of the digital world. He is invited to lecture around the world and his books are translated into several languages. He has just published his new essay\, L’Ère de l’individu tyran. La fin d’un monde commun\, (Grasset\, October 2020\, translated into Italian by Luiss University Press in 2021). He regularly publishes columns on Le Monde\, Libération\, Les Inrockuptibles\, Die Zeit. He has published several books\, in particular: Surveillance Globale – Enquête sur les nouvelles formes de contrôle (2009); La Société de l’anticipation (2011); L’Humanité Augmentée – L’administration numérique du monde (2013); La Vie algorithmique – Critique de la raison numérique (2015); La Silicolonisation du monde – L’irrésistible expansion du libéralisme numérique (2016\, translated by Einaudi\, 2017)\, L’Intelligence artificielle ou l’enjeu du siècle. Anatomie d’un antihumanisme radical\, (2018\, Italian translation by Luiss University Press\, 2019). \n  \nVittorio Gallese \nIn this presentation\, titled Digital World: The Experience of Self and Others in COVID-19 time\, Vittorio Gallese will discuss the relationship with digital images as de-materialised\, visual representations of reality. His arguments are grounded in the belief that technology has always been an extension of the mind\, thus the very definition of “artificial” is inherently connected to the “natural” cognitive ability to develop devices with the evolution of novel cognitive technologies. Through his talk he will take a closer look at the possible effects of digitisation on neuro-cognitive processes involved in social communication as well as in the constitution of the self\, especially in the context of the increased amount of time spent online during the recent lockdown\, which has significantly changed our engagement with what may constitute everyday reality. \nVittorio Gallese (Parma\, 1959)\, MD and trained neurologist\, is Professor of Psychobiology and Cognitive Neuroscience at the Dept. of Medicine & Surgery of the University of Parma\, Italy. Cognitive neuroscientist\, his research focuses on the relation between the sensory-motor system and cognition by investigating the neurobiological and bodily grounding of intersubjectivity\, psychopathology\, language and aesthetics. He is the author of more than 300 scientific publications and three books. \n  \nOphelia Deroy \nEntitled Digital forgetting\, Ophelia Deroy’s talk discusses how lockdowns have generated a tectonic shift towards the digital sphere\, with increasing Internet traffic and patterns of use changing quite dramatically. As the pandemic is likely to have a lasting digital legacy\, Deroy questions its external as well as internal impact. What do we remember of our online experiences? What could long-term effects on the arts and museums look like? Deroy will discuss these questions through neuroscientific and psychological evidence\, including her work with Tate Britain\, London\, to highlight a possible blind spot with wide-ranging implications: that we more easily forget what happens online. \nOphelia Deroy is professor of Philosophy of Mind at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and a member of the Graduate School in Systemic Neuroscience (GSN) in Munich. She is the former deputy director of the Institute of Philosophy at the University of London. She specializes in philosophy of mind and cognitive neurosciences and has widely published on issues related to multisensory perception and social interactions. In her recent research\, she tackles issues relating to how and why we share experiences\, notably in the arts and on digital platforms. \n  \nGriselda Pollock \nGriselda Pollock’s presentation\, titled Aesthetic Transformation and Trauma – On Screen Now!\, addresses the “age of digitalisation” before reflecting on the characteristics of trauma: something that happens but we do not know it; it haunts that we cannot grasp the shape of what haunts. Drawing on this interpretation\, Pollock asks whether our current social experience of physical distance and fearful dissociation and exposure to screen association may be defined as traumatic. Is it not the social conditions and the content rather than the technology that is stressing us. \nGriselda Pollock is a feminist-postcolonial-queer-international art historian and cultural analyst. She is Professor of Social and Critical Histories of Art and Director of the Centre for Cultural Analysis Theory and History at the University of Leeds. Her most recent publications include the re-issue of the co-authored feminist classic Old Mistresses\, the editing of the collection of the theoretical writings of artist Bracha L. Ettinger (Palgrave 2020) and a monograph on the artist Charlotte Salomon (Yale 2018). As part of current research\, she is addressing aesthetic transformation and trauma in connection to our exposure to screens. \n  \nAgnieszka Kurant  \nAgnieszka Kurant presents an investigation of collective intelligence\, the algorithmic exploitations of social capital\, and the transformations of the human resulting from the automation of our decision making. The artist discusses her projects exploring the future of labor and creativity\, from crowdsourcing and ghost-work to the replacement of individual authorship with complex collective forms\, the audience as a factory of value production and the redistribution of capital from the art market. She will share her current research into the use of A.I. by corporations in the colonization of our dreams and of nature\, and her experiments with artificial societies and computational sociology. \nAgnieszka Kurant is an artist whose work investigates collective intelligence\, non-human intelligences (from microbial to Artificial Intelligence) and the exploitations of social capital under surveillance capitalism. She explores the transformations of the human and the future of labour and creativity in the 21st century\, from crowdsourcing and ghost-work to artificial societies. She is currently an Artist Fellow at the Berggruen Institute and was an artist in residence at MIT CAST in 2018. Her recent exhibitions include Broken Nature at MoMA\, Cybernetics of the Poor at Kunsthalle Wien\, Uncanny Valley at the De Young Museum\, all in 2020; the 16th Istanbul Biennial and The Age of You at MOCA Toronto\, both in 2019. \n  \nCally Spooner \nIn this presentation\, Cally Spooner joins an assortment of notes on her current research with a new proposal: that “digital PTSD” is the result of an aggressive reality; “the performance principle”\, identified in 1955 by Herbert Marcuse and found today in surveillance capitalist culture as well as chrono-normative regimes. The concept of temps mort (lit. “dead time”)\, after which Spooner’s ongoing work DEAD TIME is titled\, provides a framework to test states of duration\, undetectability\, waiting\, less controlled life and rehearsal as modes of resistance to our century’s demand for performance. \nCally Spooner lives and works in Turin. Rooted in her philosophy training\, her practice begins in writing\, unfolds as performance\, then settles as installation\, sculpture\, drawing\, film and sound. She uses duration\, erosion\, waiting\, rehearsal and collapse as acts of resistance\, in a present techno-capitalist climate\, to ask how might we tell the difference between what is alive and what is dead. Recent solo shows include DEAD TIME\, Parrhesiades\, London\, 2020; DEAD TIME\, The Art Institute of Chicago\, 2019; SWEAT SHAME ETC.\, Swiss Institute New York\, 2018; Everything Might Spill\, Castello di Rivoli\, Rivoli\, 2018. Spooner is also the LEGIBILITY COORDINATOR and LECTURER in OFFSHORE\, an embodied knowledge performance company and practical philosophy school\, founded by Spooner in 2017. \n  \nChus Martínez  \nIn her latest publication Corona Tales\, written in Spring 2020 and recently released in print\, Chus Martínez compiled a collection of short narrations that she posted daily on Instagram to reflect on the value of friendship. Corona Tales includes personal narrations such as the author’s grandparents’ recovery from tragic family losses and poverty in the aftermath of the 1918 Spanish flu\, and attempts to counterbalance our current enforced physical distancing by establishing a sense of nearness. In her talk\, Martinez discusses this story-telling format which took social media as a platform to highlight the importance of creating a bond with others during a time of great social crisis and isolation causing depression and anxiety. \nChus Martínez is a curator\, art historian and writer. She is currently Director of the Art Institute at the FHNW Academy of Art and Design in Basel\, where she also curates the exhibition space of the Institut Der Tank. Her latest book Corona Tales\, written and published online (followed by print edition) during the Spring 2020 lockdown\, offered a chance for gathering\, if just virtually\, demanding to identify vulnerabilities\, how the COVID-19 crisis was being generalized\, and how to research ways of doing. \n  \nStuart Ringholt \nStuart Ringholt‘s presentation shifts attention away from the digital as something built through binary code to instead place emphasis on the original Latin root of the word – digitus\, ‘finger’. He considers the violent roots of the handshake\, and\, more centrally\, the offensive and assaulting finger gesturing and actions he has personally experienced. He recounts his “digit stress” as well as a more general set of hand gestures used across the world – from insulting finger signs\, to the history of hand gestures in public protest and meditation. Warning: the subject matter and frank nature of the presentation may cause discomfort and stress to some viewers. \nStuart Ringholt was born in Perth\, Western Australia and lives and works in Melbourne\, Australia. His works in performance\, video\, drawing\, collage\, sculpture and collaborative workshops. Personal and social themes such as fear and embarrassment are often represented through absurd situations or amateur self-help environments. His Anger Workshops was first created for the 16th Sydney Biennale\, 2008\, and have been presented in dOCUMENTA (13)\, 2012. His naturist tours have featured in major survey shows of James Turrell\, Wim Delvoye and Pipilotti Rist. Ringholt is a lecturer at MADA Monash University and was awarded a PhD (Philosophy) in 2016. \n  \nMarcos Lutyens  \nA closing performance <<(C)O2(Si)_In this way>> \nArtist and hypnotist Marcos Lutyens takes the audience on a journey at the boundaries of carbon-based consciousness and the silicon frontier. The title includes (C)O2(Si) – the periodic table elements of Carbon\, Oxygen and Silicon ¬– thus forming the Italian word “COSÍ” (“in this way”). Carbon is the element on which our own materiality is based; Oxygen is what gives us sustenance and creates exchange; and Silicon is the basis of digital platforms. The <<…>> signs in the title denote what in coding is called “logical shifts\,” which help reframe the perspective of the operand\, in this case the audience. \nMarcos Lutyens is an artist based in Los Angeles and the UK. Lutyens’ practice targets the psychic and emotional well-being of his audiences by leading participants in hypnotic exercises that affect the deepest levels of their psyche. His works take form in installations\, sculptures\, drawings\, short films\, writings and performances. In the time of COVID-19\, Lutyens created a series of 12 Zoom performances to help the healing process of people in various countries around the world. He then went on to ease the pain of front-line doctors through multiple hypnosis sessions. \nThe event is staged over virtual backgrounds inspired by artist Claudia Comte’s exhibition How to Grow and Still Stay the Same Shape at Castello di Rivoli (October 31\, 2019 – January 10\, 2021). \nDigital PTSD Program \n  \n  URL:https://www.castellodirivoli.org/en/evento/digital-ptsd-the-practice-of-art-and-its-impact-on-digital-trauma/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.castellodirivoli.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/DigPTSD_V12.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
