Conversation at the CSNI, about the Industrial Continuum of 3D

 The Center for the Study of the Networked Image (CSNI) is hosting a conversation about "The Industrial continuum of 3D":

 

Join us on Wednesday 3rd November 2021 at 14.00 (online) for our next research event hosted by Possible Bodies (Jara Rocha, Femke Snelting) in conversation with Martino Morandi.

The industrial continuum of 3D is a sociotechnical figuration and phenomenon that can be observed when volumetric techniques and technologies flow between diverse industries such as biomedical imaging, wild life conservation, border patrolling and Hollywood computer graphics. Its fluency is based on an intricate paradox: the continuum moves smoothly between distinct, different or even mutually exclusive fields of application, but leaves very little space for radical experiments and the resulting combinations are all but surprising. This conversation featuring Martino Morandi is an attempt to show how the consistent contradiction is established, to see the way power gathers around it, to get closer to what drives the circulation of industrial 3D and to describe what settles as a result. What possible techniques, paradigms and procedures for ‘computing otherwise’ can be activated around the representation of space-time, and which other worldings might be imagined?

Volumetric Regimes: material cultures of quantified presence (Open Humanities Press, DATA-browser series) proposes an intersectional inquiry into volumetrics which foregrounds procedural, theoretical and infrastructural practices that provide with a widening of the possible. The publication brings together diverse materials from a rich and ongoing conversation between artists, software developers and theorists on the political, aesthetic and relational regimes in which volumes are calculated. http://volumetricregimes.xyz
