We would like to invite you to two public and in person lectures on 7th of December 2024, under the title Entangled Spatial Practices:

Janis Polar

Janis Polar is a Basel based visual artist and cultural researcher. He investigates disturbed socio-ecologies in anthropocentric regimes and his own entanglements in them. His work engages at intersections of (media) technology, natural science, political ecology and personal experiences. Sites of research have been places which are often rendered as ‹last frontiers of nature› as well as landscapes of extractions – sites which he observes in their relation to the (non-)human and his own complicity. He mainly works with image-based media, archives and historical objects, combining (post-)documentarian and speculative approaches in installations and audiovisual performances..

Distant Realities

is an experimental design studio and architectural practice founded by Marine Lemarié and Nicolas Stephan. Distant Realities understands design and architecture as a medium to unveil hidden realities and possible futures in an entangled world governed by intricate systems of rules and obligations. Our work relies deeply on our interest in ecology, politics, economy, and technology and can be described as research-based, aiming to give alternative realities to current worldly situations. We do not consider our projects proposals, but scenarios, incorporating elements of the utopian as well as the dystopian. We merge the latest digital techniques with conceptual thoughts to create narratives in which unseen realities transform into visible ones.
