ARTIST DAVID FERRANDO GIRAUT: “ANTI-RUIN: CONTEMPORARY ART, DIGITAL IMAGE AND POLITICAL AGENCY”




What
 strategies are to be used, from the field of visual arts, in order to 
effectively give visibility to the often self-obfuscating processes – 
socio-political, economical, cultural, technological,
 ecological, etc. – that shape contemporary reality? How can the new 
possibilities – aesthetic and ontological – offered by digital image be 
applied to such aim, as a tool for political agency?

David Ferrando Giraut is an artist/filmmaker based in London. He 
is currently a PhD candidate at Goldsmiths College. His work deals with 
the interweaving of time and images, of nature and culture; with 
transversality and the ruin. He graduated from an MFA in Goldsmiths 
College in 2008 and, more recently, took part in the LUX Associate 
Artists Programme, London. Among his recent exhibitions and screenings 
are: “Veraneantes” MARCO, Vigo (2013); “It´s a Place of Force”, part of 
REMAP4, Athens, (2013); MACO 2013, Mexico City; ARCOmadrid 2013; 
“Cristalino”, Galería Bacelos, Madrid and Vigo (2012); 41 International 
Film Festival Rotterdam (2012); “Swollen Jungle”, Union Gallery, London 
(2012); “The Fanstasist”, MACUF, A Coruña (2011).

 

FILM THEORIST LISA ÅKERWALL: “POST-INTERNET AND PRE-HOTEL: A CRITICAL POST-CINEMATIC AESTHETICS” 





This
 talk analyses post-cinematic aesthetic strategies such as the 
multiplication of perspectives and the manifestation of networked 
selves, as well as caricatured styles of speech, movement, and 
accelerated montage. Through this analysis Åkervall will show how 
post-cinematic video installations
 provide an affective cartography of early twenty-first century 
experience. The post-cinematic is not exclusively a function of screens 
or media, but can rather also be registered in changed relations to 
language, (self-)perception, and social relations incontemporary life. 
This examination of post-cinematic video installations offers clues for 
the description and analysis of the space of networks and flows characteristic of neo-liberal societies of control.
Lisa Åkervall 
is a postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Film Studies at 
the Free University Berlin and a member of the Collaborative Research 
Center “Aesthetic Experience and the Dissolution of Artistic Limits.” 
She defended her dissertation “Becoming Visionary: A Pedagogy of 
Perception in Cinema” at the Free University Berlin in 2012. Her 
publications in English include: “Cinema, Affect and Vision” (in: 
Rhizomes 16. Special Issue: Deleuze and Film, 2008 http://www.rhizomes.net/issue16/akervall.html)
 and “Character-Witness, Actor- Medium” (in: Acting and Performance in 
Moving Image Culture. Bodies, Screens, and Renderings, 2012).
