Event overview
"What Can Happen to Paradigms of Control" a keynote lecture by Forensic Architecture Guest Professors Shaina Anand & Ashok Sukumaran
Shaina Anand and Ashok Sukumaran from CAMP, will deliver a keynote lecture that looks at the evolution of some network forms in the past century, as seen from western South Asia, in their instability and in particular their expressibility as art forms.
Book-ended by Gandhi’s disdain for cinema, particularly of cinema halls as distributed public spaces, and the “vertical integrations” of a cultural-mineral-financial-technological industry such as Reliance, this lecture describes paths an artistic practice has taken, to assemble otherwise.
Followed by a conversation with Professor Eyal Weizman.
CAMP (founded by Shaina Anand, Sanjay Bhangar, Ashok Sukumaran in 2007) is a Mumbai-based studio of people who are artists, architects, filmmakers, and technologists. They host long-running video archives (Pad.ma, Indiancine.ma) and a rooftop cinema, and have a history of projects involving transport, communication and surveillance systems, in which art is possessed of an infrastructural imagination.
A reception will follow at 9pm.
This event marks the second in an annual Guest Professorship hosted by the Forensic Architecture agency and the Centre for Research Architecture, Department of Visual Cultures. Funded by a UKRI Frontier Research Grant.
