Fabienne Liptay (Universit\u00e9 de Zurich) : The Statistical Complex: Film as a Dispositif of Testing<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing is a common practice deployed in a broad field of social engineering and governance. It relies on venturous experimentation as well as calculation and estimation in the service of risk management, controlling processes and even predicting their probable outcomes based on statistical reasoning. Testing thus operates on social life by creating scenarios in which social order is maintained, disrupted, or restored according to prescriptive and regulatory measures. In my lecture, I will explore the idea that film not only participates in social life, but is also placed in the service of its testing. The works discussed are Andy Warhol\u2019s Screen Tests<\/em> (1964-66), William Greaves\u2019s Symbiopsychotaxiplasm<\/em> (1968), and Hito Steyerl\u2019s SocialSim<\/em> (2020), all of which use technologies of testing to explore the social complexities and tensions at play in the process of their making. Albeit diverse, these works critically engage with theoretical models and practices from the social sciences (Alphonse Bertillon in Warhol, Arthur F. Bentley in Greaves, and Joshua Epstein in Steyerl) to reveal the technological and ideological parameters used to regulate and control society. Departing from Tony Bennett\u2019s concept of the \u201cexhibitionary complex\u201d and its indebtedness to Foucault, I wish to draw attention to another web of relations, one in which power is exercised not through modes of visibility, but through statistical measures operating in and through images as part of the \u201ctransactional realities\u201d of civil society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markus Krajewski (Universit\u00e9 de B\u00e2le) : Constructing the Conscience. About German Post-War Architecture and its Media <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This talk will be about Architecture and Media, more precisely, about a specific form of town houses’ exteriors and how these specific elements served as a medium of silence: tiles. My case study will discuss tiled facades as a certain dispositive of hiding and hygiene which was used in the 1950ies in predominantly Western German house building, as an architectural shape as well as a reflex to Germany\u2019s recent past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estelle Doudet (Universit\u00e9 de Lausanne) : <\/strong> Arch\u00e9ologies m\u00e9di\u00e9vales du t\u00e9l\u00e9visuel : penser les dispositifs avant l\u2019\u00e8re des machines<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penser aujourd\u2019hui les dispositifs de vision et d\u2019audition signifie souvent se pencher sur les relations m\u00e9diatiques caract\u00e9ristiques de l\u2019\u00e8re des machines (XIXe-XXIe\u00a0s.)\u00a0: enregistrements, projections, algorithmes, etc. L\u2019arch\u00e9ologie des media, une approche encore \u00e9mergente dans les pays francophones, invite toutefois \u00e0 explorer plus profond\u00e9ment les \u00e9poques \u00e9loign\u00e9es de notre \u00e2ge technologique. Ainsi, en Europe, du XIIIe\u00a0au XVIe\u00a0si\u00e8cle, se sont d\u00e9ploy\u00e9es des th\u00e9ories et des pratiques du t\u00e9l\u00e9visuel \u2013 la capacit\u00e9 de voir ce qui est situ\u00e9 loin du regard humain gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 divers supports \u2013 au croisement de la science optique, de la pens\u00e9e religieuse et des innovations artistiques. Est-il pertinent d\u2019approcher cette ancienne culture par la notion\u00a0a priori\u00a0anachronique de \u00ab\u00a0dispositif\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0? Quels nouveaux \u00e9clairages sur nos usages contemporains pourrait nous apporter l\u2019\u00e9tude d\u2019un temps o\u00f9 le visible \u00e9tait consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme une travers\u00e9e vers l\u2019invisible et o\u00f9 l\u2019image oscillait entre surface de projection et performance d\u2019une pr\u00e9sence\u00a0?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
