🔥 Matter vs. Spirit

Presentation slides from WdKA/Piet Zwart Institute talk

On May 12th, I presented a summary narrative of the Matter vs. Spirit research-creation project at WdKA/Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, which houses the unique X-Pub Master in Fine Art and Design. The talk was a great opportunity to synthesize and clarify the thoughts I've been working through on this blog and speaking with the X-Pub cohort about their approach to publishing reconnected many threads to work and concepts I was deeply engaged with in the early 2000s.

Below are a selection of the slides that hopefully paint a bit of a picture of my talk. I’m particularly excited by the concept of “condensed publishing” and working on the VC lab as a physical space.

Many thanks again to Skye Maule-O'Brien for inviting us and facilitating the research exchange between our institutions.
