Critical Inquiry – Research CaféThis year's research seminar with Tom Vandeputte returns to the question how critique may be understood today. We consider the history of the concept, tracing its key transformations and reinterpretations over the course of the twentieth century, and discuss what it might mean to think of critique as a ‘theoretical practice’. Special attention will be paid to the negativity at stake in critical inquiry, as well as the question how we might understand its inventive and imaginative elements.

TARR – Research CaféWhat follows a Master of Fine Arts when one desires further development in one’s education as artist? How to become aware of what a potential PhD (or equivalent) in the Arts mail entail, and for whom may this represent a suitable trajectory? The session consists of a short introduction to the different possibilities to choose from when pursuing a Third cycle in education in the Arts in the Netherlands (including insights into prospective collaborations with institutions abroad). This entails highlighting the differences between the formal degrees entitled Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Professional Doctorate (PD) and the Rietveld’s own Creator Doctus (CrD).
This three-part program aims to explore anxieties surrounding human-animal relations, as depicted in 20th-century genre-fiction movies. We will watch and discuss three films together, each selected to represent specific anxieties expressed through cinema, either directly or metaphorically. Each session is open to all students, staff, graduates and friends of Sandberg and Rietveld.

Research CaféIn this seminar we will discuss the question of how collective an artistic practice is, and how much of the artistic process is a shared conversation with other makers both human and beyond-human. We will discuss a number of collaborative artistic practices which challenge the notion of authorship while simultaneously producing distinct artistic voices. We will also engage in a collective experiment together.
To kick off the year 2024, we are happy to invite you to join us for the book launch of 'The City as Anthology: Movements at the Margins of Public Space' by Mariken Overdijk on 13 January at 3pm, at Zone2Source, Amstelpark, Glass Pavilion.
Art & Spatial Praxis – Research CaféHow to move from a general topic of interest to a topic of inquiry? And how to narrow your topic of inquiry to a research question? Research questions are the questions you answer in or through your work. These questions give structure to your work. The questions you ask are related to the research you do and the work you want to create. During this seminar, you aim to move from a general topic of interest to a more (or less) specified and framed research question that will help you structure your thinking, doing, making and researching.
Algorithmic Cultures – Research CaféWe will explore the theoretical foundations of AI, delving into the intricate process of training AI models and understanding their underlying mechanisms. Through a hands-on approach, attendees will learn to craft prompts that resonate with AI applications, both text and image based, fostering a dialogue that can yield insightful text and evocative imagery as well as aid research practices. The session will have a generative approach, focusing on free to use applications. The goal is to use these tools as starting points for art making, design and research. Please bring your laptop as well as a notebook and pen.
Algorithmic CulturesWith Flavia Dzodan, Arif Kornweitz, Femke Herregraven, Mariana Fernández, Zachary Formwalt, Roosje Klap and Benjamin Schoonenberg.
Algorithmic CulturesWeek on Algorithmic Cultures is an introduction to the research group on Algorithmic Cultures. Algorithmic cultures refer to the dynamic and reciprocal relationship between algorithms and both human and non-human societies. We examine not only how algorithms are informed by and embedded within cultural norms, values, institutions, and behaviors but also how they, in turn, actively shape these dimensions. As algorithmic processes increasingly blur the boundaries of everyday life, they significantly influence the ways in which individuals and communities interact, engage with, and transform knowledge and culture. We share an interest in researching how algorithmic mediation can redefine power dynamics, ethical considerations, and the construction of reality itself.

Algorithmic Cultures
Research CaféResearch Café is an informal seminar series where you can learn more about various research methodologies from different senior researchers at Rietveld and Sandberg. We start the series on November 16th with Gabrielle Kennedy. She will talk about 'Interviewing for facts - Journalism as a research tool and language'. The essential skill of journalism is knowing how to conduct compelling interviews, and how to engage with subjects. Every strong journalist brings a unique sensitivity to an interview which is ultimately what will create an original tone of voice and lend work a unique atmosphere.
Fellows 22/23Curves of Inquiry is a Gerrit Rietveld Academie initiative that showcases the findings of nine artist-researchers who completed a fellowships trajectory in the previous academic year. Each of these projects is carried out in close collaboration with a department of the Rietveld Academie or Sandberg Instituut to foster relationships between educational programs, research activities, and societal issues.
Art & Spatial Praxis – Climate Imaginaries at SeaArtists from each of the Climate Imaginaries at Sea Artistic Research Studios will be presenting work as part of the Warming Up Culture Route during the annual We Are Warming Up Festival at Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam from the 30th of October to the 5th of November.
Algorithmic CulturesUnionizing the Speculative is an informal gathering that invites precarious cultural workers whose value of labor is likely to be challenged under the influence of generative AI. Participants will explore the collective strategy of advocacy through Speculoos biscuits containing AI-generated images.
Algorithmic CulturesThe series attempts to theorize an algorithmic hauntology, drawing on Jacques Derrida's notions around the spectral remnants of persistent and recurrent cultural artefacts that are encoded into technologies. If Carl Linnaeus defined the way we have codified nature through the publication of his foundational "Systema Naturae", what would a "Systema Algoritmus" entail?
TARRThe research group Third cycle in Artistic Research at the Rietveld (TARR) hosts participants both internal and external to the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (GRA) and the Sandberg Instituut (SI), under the coordination of Senior Researcher Paula Albuquerque.

We continue scouting the peripheries of Ecological Imaginaries with a series of seminars conducted by the filmmaker and Critical Studies research fellow Olya Korsun. This time we will attempt to defy ‘the regimes of emptiness’ imposed on deserts and their inhabitants by 'industrialized subjectivities and exploitative authorities searching for and in need of so-called "empty" places to be "filled" through occupation, extraction, mining, production, and accumulation.’ (Samia Henni)
Algorithmic Cultures"Deterritorializing Intelligence is part of a series of events, meetings, symposia and public lectures in the frame of the ongoing Creator Doctus research of Femke Herregraven, which circumnavigates the historical, material and epistemological conditions of artificial intelligence. On this occasion, Femke invites students to her studio where she will engage in a ping pong dialogue with her supervisor Flavia Dzodan about the topics of their research involving AI, algorithms and computational technologies. This open studio moment will offer a glimpse into their research interests, methodologies and approaches to work in the context of their practice and their shared path at Sandberg Instituut".
Art & Spatial PraxisIn research publications, more often than not media production—be it audiovisual or any other form of artistic practice that isn’t writing—is still seen as somehow inferior; mere support material. A figure that accompanies the text, the main act, and that would fail to be considered as a form of research itself. Producing, distributing and consuming media is not about illustrating previously existing research or knowledge, but about doing things: working with media is actively doing research. In this sense, we should try and facilitate both tools and means for practitioners of this practice-based research, currently not or at least underrepresented in the publishing industries. To put it concisely: what is the role of publishing within practice-based research?
Critical InquiryWe continue scouting the peripheries of ecological imaginaries with a series of seminars conducted by the filmmaker and Critical Studies research fellow Olya Korsun. This time we delineate the field where crises of ecology, human imagination and mental health meet.

Algorithmic CulturesKnowledge is a space, an abstract space where data points are collected, they form clusters of possible relations. AI, ML or NN have a way of finding connections within a dataset. It finds a solution or answers from a dataset. Data is an abstract term, but it can be as tangible as we like it to be.

In this round table discussion, we will explore how the human rating system creates a numeric value reflected in number of likes, number of YouTube reproductions, social media metrics and the way that platforms and apps have created a system of hierarchies and strata to measure life’s worth. We will discuss how through this human ratings system the logic of the algorithm intervenes in human subjectivity expanding the project of valuation of human life that has been instrumental to the capitalist administration of life itself.
TARRThe research programme of senior researcher dr.

A movement workshop.
Within the scope of her research, Nina Glockner (Ceramics Department Rietveld) explores how materiality is altered by subjective awareness and how somatic and performative knowledge can be applied to new methodologies and tools within contemporary art/ design production, education, and beyond: to which degree can a change of the subject's intention, attention, and perceptiveness lead to a change of artistic process, action, and outcome? During the Practice-bases sessions Glockner will guide the group through a number of exercises that she has developed.
Ghosts in the Family is a writing workshop co-hosted by Toni Brell and Amy Suo Wu (Design Sandberg). Stories play a role in affecting our own identities, kinships, and the communities and societies we're embedded within. This workshop will be centred around the role of storytelling and fiction from queer, feminist and diaspora perspectives alongside each other. Toni will be exploring ways to challenge and disrupt hegemonic narratives as potential gestures to create alternative realities, while Amy will approach fiction and storytelling as tools for immersion and empathy in the mending of intergenerational and diasporic divides. A variety of collective and individual writing methods will be practiced to conjure up and exorcise ghosts in the family. The workshop will take place at Sandberg Instituut with max. 10 participants. Students can sign up via the link attached.
How can we design starting from the notion of harvesting energy? Solar energy now is still perceived as a technology, an add-on that comes last when designing building or spaces. What if solar energy would be a necessity? An essential part of things around us, things that we would consider to be broken when they would not generate their own energy? We need to start looking at scenario’s in a distant future instead of looking at efficiency and cost reduction, so it can become part of our culture. Will this change our perception on how we would like to live with solar? What would your take on solar be if this could become part of your lifestyle, identity even? During the lecture, Marjan van Aubel will show some of her examples of previous works and talks about her research at Studio for Immediate Spaces.
The public guest lecture by Federico Campagna is part of a 5-day workshop for the students of the Sandberg Dirty Art Department hosted by Nicola Baratto & Yiannis Mouravas.
