Entanglement

Superprojects is pleased to be invited by the arts and architecture collective Annex to create a series of workshops taking place as part of the exhibition of their audio-visual and sculptural installation ‘Entanglement’.

Responding to the themes in the artwork, Superprojects has created a programme of workshops for people aged 12 - 18 and their parents called ‘Stuff You can Kick’. Led by four artists and one arts collective – Paul O’Neill, Jessica Foley, Katie White and Lucida Collective, this series of four workshops will look at digital data as material, or ‘stuff’, and how it physically impacts ourselves and our environment.

Workshop 1:

Jessica Foley – Cloud Illusions: Sonnets for Sustainability

Wednesday 13th July at 11am

Artist Jessica Foley will guide young people and their parents to create constraint-based writing outcomes such as Sonnets, songs and other lyric forms. ‘Cloud Illusions’ will explore the theme of a ‘cloud-based lifestyle’ proposed by the ANNEX exhibition ‘Entanglement’, which looks at the physical embodiment of data and its environmental impact on our landscape. Through Foley’s Engineering Fictions process, the workshop will consider how our use of ‘networked information gathering devices’ shape our sense of ourselves and our environment. The writing results will be included in a zine publication at the end of the programme.

Age group: 12 – 18 and parents.

Location: Entanglement Exhibition, Fairgreen Basement Gallery

Workshop 2:

Katie Whyte - Data Moshing/Glitch Art

Saturday 16th July at 3pm

Discover Data Moshing and Glitch Art with Artist Katie Whyte.

Katie Whyte is an artist who uses data insertion to create glitches in digital photography and video (Glitch Art or Data Moshing). Gathering the images and texts created in the previous two workshops (Cloud Illusions with Jessica Foley), Katie will guide a group of participants through the process of how to glitch images and footage. Participants should bring their own laptops if possible.

Age group: 12 – 18 and parents.

Location: Entanglement Exhibition, Fairgreen Basement Gallery

Workshop 3:

Paul O'Neill - Tour of Internet data infrastructure in Galway

Wednesday 20th July at 2pm

Artist Paul O’Neill will take participants on an exploration of our data as it flows through different hidden infrastructures that surround us.

On this workshop/psycho-geographical tour, participants will explore Galway city, gathering a series of photographs on their smartphones, which will be used to contribute to later workshops and the final ‘zine project. Age group: 16 - 18 (under 16s with parental consent).

Workshop 4:

Lucida Collective - ‘zine making workshop

Thursday 21st July at 2pm

Join the Lucida Collective for a ‘zine making workshop about ‘Stuff You Can Tear’.

In this workshop, Lucida Collective will guide participants to materialise the digital ‘stuff’ created in the previous three workshops - images, text/writing in word documents and glitched images, through printing, drawing and handwriting. This will result in a home-made collaborative ‘zine publication documenting the whole process of the ‘Stuff you can Kick’ programme. Age group: 12 – 18 (can be participants of previous workshops and/or new participants).

Curated by aemi to reflect upon and interact with the varied themes that arise in ‘Entanglement’, the exhibition realised for the Irish pavilion at the Architecture Biennale in Venice in 2021, this programme of films on data infrastructure and its relationship to landscape, features work by Irish and international artists Larry Achiampong, Caroline Doolin, Edy Fung, Fiona Marron, Dalibor Martinis and Frank Sweeney. Adopting a range of different registers, this programme looks to reveal the ordinarily concealed labour involved in maintaining information and communication technologies in order to explore the human, environmental and cultural cost of sustaining the – often broken, often corrupt and sometimes rogue – systems that have become part of our natural order.
