Theme

The 10th edition of The HTMlles will take up the notion of risk. To risk: to gain or to lose (it is uncertain), to expose oneself to a possibility… Risk is a potential. Whether used positively or negatively, the idea of risk implies that of evaluation, action and distribution, and thus, power. While the term “risk” evolved with the development of capitalism, the concept of “risk society” is about twenty years old and has been used by scholars to describe how modern society organizes around the idea of risk, that is, in response to a future (which society should be able to manage). By simply invoking or imagining the future, one immediately engages in risky behaviours. Anything and everything can become risky… Indeed, there exists a global economic and industrial complex organized around monitoring and moderating “risk”, from insurance companies to investment products, as well as technologies and approved, standardized methods of risk assessment and risk management. There are also whole sets of techniques of calculation, “optimization” and social control that rely on the presence of a notion of “risk,” from so-called “at-risk-populations” to who are considered “vulnerable,” “suspect” or, increasingly so nowadays, “insolvable.”

In such a critical moment, it is perhaps crucial to ask (ourselves) some questions. How does the language of risk articulate itself today? What is at risk today? How can one take risks today? What are the different levels of risk in our various (trans)actions? What is the relationship between risk, technology and power? How is risk both managed and created? How is it distributed? Since when does one “invest” in one’s future and what does it actually mean? Do “crises” serve to pacify the communities being affected by these “crises”? Who are they? What do artists have to say about these so-called risks and crises? How is making art risky today? Who speaks? To whom and in the name of what?

Violeta Vojvodic-Balaz (RS) / Value Quest Bourse: An electronic allegory of Casino Capitalism

An all-electronic platform Value Quest Bourse performs as an art-game-simulation of socio-economic cycle that enables real-time aggregation of "social bourse" data (VQ Roulette), and over-the-counter financial instrument transaction with broad audience (VQ Perpetual Bond). Double zero style of VQ Roulette emphasizes rudimentary relationship between Risk and Safety. It reflects stages of economic cycle: Expectation, Success, Bankruptcy, Reform. In order to fulfill future social capital requirements, the Value Quest Bourse issued the VQ Perpetual Bond to facilitate the quest for value in the time of crisis. Transfer your click-labour into social critique. Vote for Value. Revolve the wheel of Casino Capitalism.

Anne Goldenberg (CA) / Algorithmies diaphanes

A sound and improvisational movement based performance on the origin, substance and legibility of code, Algorithmies diaphanes is part of an iterative work attempting to define the relationships between humans and operating systems. Code, as language, connivance, encryption device, or dissemination matter, crosses our everyday and our environments oftentimes in stealthy ways. What is the source of code? To read, to work on or to share the code: is it the work of experts, a political struggle, a poetic approach? Taking from a collection of phonic textures and propositions to be performed, Algorithmies diaphanes investigates these questions through a series of sound and movement improvisation.

Anne Goldenberg is interested in the political, epistemic and poetic aspects of collaborative platforms and participative devices. She has a PhD in Communication (UQAM, Montreal) and in Sociology (Unice, Nice) and wrote her thesis on "The Negotiation of Contributions in Public Wikis". This theoretical work led her to observe the poetics of collective contributions through various forms--multimedia, social sculpture, performance, and installation. Inspired by free culture, she mostly explores the relationships between digital material, participative devices, the public, and collective action. She facilitates open spaces and booksprints, and likes to make visible, readable and malleable the processes of co-construction of knowledge.
