<i>What happens after the end?</i><br>
The errorist laboratory 'NO-WORK / NO-SHOP' will be focused on
researching and experimenting the diverse uses of artistic actions and
social imagination strategies regarding common problematics, through
'trial and error', with the intention of creating collective public
interventions around the specific context of Cittadellarte and the
city of Biella. This module will seek to create a 'non-consumption'
space for the development of artistic experiences.<br>

Proposal for Schizoanalytical Seminar II: Title Forthcoming<br>

<br>
How can desire be understood as a revolutionary force? How can it
evade the mechanisms of capture which stifle it and direct it toward
the destruction of worlds?<br>
The schizo-analytic module turns the context of the week-long seminar
at Cittadellarte into the set of a historical film being made in 2057,
about a seminar set in the year 2017. The participants of the module,
together with the mentors, will enact a seminar while documenting it
as a film. The hope is that the distancing and self-awareness of our
selves, our time and the conditions of making this collective seminar
/ film will allow a different perception of our common condition to
arise.<br>

LudoCity. Designing a site-specific game<br>

>www.cittadellarte.it/unidee/activity.html?id=96</u></a><br>
<br>
The module aims to examine the game as a participative, temporary,
movable device, through which the artist establishes forms of
interaction with communities, opening new possible meanings and uses
of the public space. The workshop will provide the participants with
the tools, the knowledge and methods for designing a 'site-specific
game'. During the week, there will be an introduction to the most
relevant critical theories and the history of games and play, and an
analysis of the different modes of game design discussing topics such
as the design of urban games and pervasive games, in order to produce
an analog game to be implemented in a specific area in Biella, that
has been recently the subject of a study for urban transformation
processes.<br>
<u>Deadline: 28th April 2017</u><br>

Touch, Don't Dominate<br>

<br>
How are socially, culturally and politically emotions constructed? How
can we point to the invisible mechanisms that shape the 'affective
economies'? How do we produce new critical imaginaries and other
science fiction narratives about them?<br>
'Touch, Don't Dominate' is configured as a time and work space to
think about how to produce and think artistically aesthetics of cares
and affects. This module proposes to deepen the potential of the
artists to create a type of 'performative mediation' that produces new
venues for the encounter, spaces of suspension of time or the
activation of protest. The participants will create a performance
through an artistic 'experiment', in order to produce new imaginaries
of Common, Desire and Revolutions that are still to come.<br>

The Revolution of the Gaze. Inside the Visible, to grasp the

<br>
How can the documentary practice make the contact with the reality the
first step towards the creation of a communal and political act?<br>
This module will be a survey on the documentary practice, focusing on
the spaces of tension and connection between the political and the
spiritual dimensions related to the artistic gesture. 'The revolution
of the Gaze' will lay the groundwork for real projects of documentary
films, which glance at surroundings of Cittadellarte and through which
the participants will feel part of a collective creative process of
the investigation of reality.<br>

The Dance of Attention. What happens as soon as we press 'record' on a
device<br>
Curated by Attila Faravelli and Enrico Malatesta, with Adam
Asnan</b></i><br>
<a

<br>
Where in our own culture (present and past) lies the urge to overly
develop and refine techniques to sort fixed things out of a flux of
living matter? Is it possible to turn these techniques into levers to
de-stratify perception, even if they were partly born out of a desire
to objectify reality?<br>
Sound recording practices are not just a mechanism through which
objectivity can or should be transmitted, they are instead a powerful
creative tool. Despite the balance of the workshop tilting toward
sonic practices, the topics discussed, as well as the exercises
proposed, aim at facing broader questions related to the relationship
between unmediated and mediated experience.<br>
