Open Feedback Loop

“Open Feedback Loop” is a series of talks and workshops happening as part of the project “autonomous systems” run by mur.at. We present and discuss works, tools, practices and thoughts that deal with autonomy systemic and eco-systemic theories and interdependence in relation to art and technology and their underlying social and aesthetical paradigms, including contributions from different fields such as sound and digital art, game design and performative art.

The series is free and open to the public and offers an open space for inspiration for everyone interested in the field. All events are held online in „big blue button“. Please register via email; entry link is sent upon request.

Info and registration: suonoreale@mur.at

Damjan Jovanovic

Damjan Jovanovic will present a number of his ongoing projects that explore themes such as personhood, ecology and artificial intelligence, and how their entanglement with simulations and video games brings about new ways of worldmaking. Damjan is an architect, educator and software designer. He works as a Full-Time faculty at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles.

Damjan’s work centers on the development of experimental software, and his interests lie in investigating the culture and aesthetics of software platforms, as well as questions of contemporary design education, authorship and creativity.

as if they were flowers

a multimodal exhibition

With the exhibition “as if they were flowers”, we conclude a year of work centered on the topic of “autonomous systems”. A group of young artists explores the boundaries of autonomy and entanglement related to the question “what / where is the autonomous self?”. The project unfolded across several iterations where discussions, ideas and artworks were generated that will be presented in an unfolding exhibition that happens both on-site in Graz and online at MozillaHubs.

project group: Alyssa Aska, Alisa Kobzar, Daniele Pozzi, Pablo Abelardo,
