THE EVENS ARTS PRIZE 2023

Exploring the critical imaginaries of AI The Evens Arts Prize 2023 is dedicated to artistic practices that challenge prevailing systems of knowledge and experiments new alliances between living beings and machines. 

The Jury is composed of Daniel Blanga Gubbay, Artistic Co-Director, Kunstenfestivaldesarts; Nicolas Bourriaud, Artistic Director, 15th Gwangju Biennale; Elena Filipovic, Director and Curator, Kunsthalle Basel; Matteo Pasquinelli, Associate Professor in Philosophy of Science, Ca’ Foscari University; Gosia Plysa, Director, Unsound. The Jury Chair is André Wilkens, Director, European Cultural Foundation. Artistic Director:  Anne Davidian, curator.

Focus of the Evens Arts Prize 2023 The widespread use of AI applications, particularly in the form of text-to-image generators and large language models, has sparked intense scrutiny and debate. These discussions, fueled by both excitement about their potential and concerns about their biases, bring to the forefront crucial questions about human subjectivity, autonomy, and agency.

Technical systems are deeply intertwined with social systems, shaping our lived experiences, aspirations, and politics. Together with artists, how can we better understand and address the impact of AI and the broader constellation of digital technologies and algorithmic politics? What new imaginaries and alliances can we cultivate between living beings and machines?

The new edition of the Evens Arts Prize seeks to highlight artistic projects that explore alternative cosmologies and epistemologies, question human exceptionalism, and shed light on issues such as surveillance, manipulation, extractivism, digital governance, justice, care, and responsibility in the age of machine intelligence. Of particular interest are practices that experiment with AI to challenge prevailing systems of knowledge and power asymmetries, mobilise technologies towards emancipatory community outcomes, and envision democratic futures.

The laureate is selected by an independent jury from a list of nominations put forward by representatives of major European cultural institutions.

The Evens Arts Prize The Evens Arts Prize honours artists who engage with contemporary challenges in Europe and shape inspirational visions for our common world. Far from reducing artistic practice to a function – whether a social balm or a political catalyst – the Evens Arts Prize supports aesthetically and intellectually powerful work that pushes the understanding of alterity, difference, and plurality in new directions, questions values and narratives, creates space for silenced or dissonant voices, and reflects on diverse forms of togetherness and belonging.

The biennial Prize is awarded to a European artist working in the fields of visual or performing arts, including cinema, theater, dance, music; it carries a sum of €15,000. The laureates are selected by an independent jury, from a list of internationally acclaimed artists, nominated by representatives of major European cultural institutions.

The 2011, 2019 and 2021 editions were curated by Anne Davidian and celebrated Marlene Monteiro Freitas, Eszter Salamon, and Sven Augustijnen as laureates of the main prize, while Eliane Radigue and Andrea Büttner received the Special Mention of the Jury.

Living in the Future, Lost in the Snow

"The annual Musicmakers Hacklab at CTM has traditionally brought people together from various places and backgrounds in hopes of catalysing interdisciplinary, hybrid reactions. So when a core component of the yearly project was removed – namely, the ability to travel to Berlin and share physical space – how could new modes of remote collaboration be developed? ..."

The NATO solution is to close the border, to seal the door of the gas chamber that now encompasses the greater part of three continents. This is the new jewel in their crown — they are planning the greatest mass murder in human history. There are already confirmed reports of killings in the desert between the US and Mexico and eerie rumours of naval boats sinking rafts full of Africans in the Mediterranean when the press aren’t there to get some humanitarian photos of dramatic rescues at sea — in fact just the reported deaths on the borders of Fortress Europe between 1988 and 2006 total to 14,000. This will become policy. This will become open war. Of course, the border will not be hermetically sealed. NATO will probably maintain military colonies in key fuel- and food-producing regions, especially in areas of low population density like Saudi Arabia where control will be easier.

Domestically too their answer is already becoming visible: totalitarianism. Unintegrated immigrant populations and youth who have not yet consented to the murder of our futures present a constant internal threat to this order that has manifested in numerous revolts and insurrections, as well as countless quieter negations and the creation and diffusion of new social models — I mean our protests, our social centers, our permaculture farms, hacklabs, counterinformation groups, diy health collectives, bicycle workshops, and other self-organized projects. When coupled with a will to destroy the existing system and an attempt to overcome the separations imposed by government and media to create real solidarity, these movements evidence a superhuman optimism that may be the only hope for the future.

05×06 KDE y software para el arte II: música

A lo largo de dos horas y 20 minutos, nuestros compañeros de KDE España junto a nuestro invitado especial Francisco, Paco, Vila, estuvieron hablando sobre las distintas aplicaciones libres para la música. Explicó Paco de una forma sencilla las distintas áreas que se pueden cubrir: edición de partituras, edición de sonido y música y secuenciación y debatieron sobre el estado de las distintas aplicaciones libres para realizar esas tareas.

Mención especial a la parte del podcast donde se hablo largo y tendido de Lilypond donde Paco Vila mostró su sapiencia y experiencia con esta aplicación y lenguaje así como comentó sus aportes en el desarrollo.

Terminó el podcast tratándose el uso de aplicaciones musicales en el sector educativo -musical y general- y repasando las comunidades libres existentes para música.

Los participantes del podcast fueron:

Francisco Vila,principal responsable de la traducción al castellano de Lilypond.

Rubén Gómez Antolí, presentador del podcast y miembro de HackLab de Almería.

Adrián Chaves, vicepresidente de KDE España y desarrollador de KDE.

    Espero que os haya gustado, si es así ya sabéis: “Manita arriba“, compartid y no olvidéis visitar y suscribiros al canal de Ivoox de los podcast de KDE España

Como siempre, esperamos vuestros comentarios que os aseguro que son muy valiosos para los desarrolladores, aunque sean críticas constructivas (las otras nunca son buenas para nadie). Así mismo, también nos gustaría saber los temas sobre los que gustaría que hablásemos en los próximos podcast.
