⚡???? CFP: ALGO-RHYTHMS: LIVING IN AND OUT OF SYNC WITH TECHNOLOGY | DEADLINE IN TWO WEEKS

How might we tune our senses to the architecture of algo-rhythms that seemingly eludes our conscious perception? How do artistic projects, through texture, sound, movement, and/or materiality, explore the rhythms, speeds, durations of digital culture? How do they reflect our affective relations to technology? 

Data artist Laurie Frick, who uses self-tracking as her method, creates large-scale installations out of hand-built materials as datafied logs for activities like sleep and stress, and for time tracking for daily activities. The tactility of her artfully re-engineered datasets resensitises us to the scale of data trails captured by our devices and asks us to reimagine what images of the self could emerge out of such an obsessive and durational practice of bodily data collection.

Taking these artists as inspiration, this issue of Kunstlicht invites contributions that look at artistic explorations and embodied experience of technologies that structure and alter our experience of time in digital culture. We are interested in submissions that attenuate to interconnections between time, technology, body, and affect. Technology is understood here broadly in its material and immaterial, analogue and digital forms, and both historical and contemporary examples are welcome.

Proposals for contributions (200-300 words) with attached resumes can be submitted until Sunday December 18 via
