Algorithmic Cultures – We are very pleased to invite you to Flavia Dzodan’s inaugural lecture on November 26th from 5.30 to 7.00 PM at the Theory Stairs of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. A lecture on the impossibilities of algorithmic translation. "Amorino Latente/ Latent Cupid” revolves around the translation of art and its emotional impact through algorithmic and computational processes.

Algorithmic Cultures – The Gerrit Rietveld Academie and Rietveld Sandberg Research are pleased to announce the appointment of Flavia Dzodan as Professor (Lector) of Algorithmic Cultures. Dzodan’s work marks a significant contribution to the GRA’s mission of fostering a research culture that embraces expansive, interdisciplinary, and non-traditional approaches, which reflect the complex and critical issues of our time. Her appointment underscores the GRA’s commitment to recognizing and supporting research practices that transcend conventional academic boundaries, weaving together theoretical exploration and artistic expression.

Algorithmic Cultures – During the Week on Algorithmic Cultures December 5th - 7th 2023 senior researcher Flavia Dzodan put together a three-day programme at Sandberg Instituut. The programme was an introduction to the research group on Algorithmic Cultures led by Flavia Dzodan, which was previously known as the A.I. research cell.

Algorithmic Cultures – During the symposium and round table discussion on Algorithmic Cultures on the 6th op December 2023, Flavia Dzodan launched her new essay ‘Haptic Mournings; Morning the Never-Made' about our increasing blurring relation to the digital world, the imagined and real.

Algorithmic Cultures – With Flavia Dzodan, Arif Kornweitz, Femke Herregraven, Mariana Fernández, Zachary Formwalt, Roosje Klap and Benjamin Schoonenberg.

Algorithmic Cultures – Week 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 –

Algorithmic Cultures – Unionizing 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 Cultures – The 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?

Algorithmic Cultures – This workshop is designed for artists and creatives alike who are interested in exploring the use of stable diffusion and generative adversarial networks to enhance their work or creative pipeline. Hosted by: the Artificial Intelligence Research Cell at Sandberg Instituut.

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".

Algorithmic Cultures – Knowledge 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.

Algorithmic Cultures – We are looking for 4 members who are interested in joining the kenniskring/ research group on a regular basis; whose work is already engaged with the topics of ‘AI and algorithms’ and the different perspectives and disciplines that relate to these topics. As a study group member, you would be committed to attending a minimum of 4 sessions throughout the year.

Algorithmic Cultures – Slow AI focuses on developing methodologies for reimagining AI and algorithmic systems. It is a project initiated by Mariana Fernández Mora and a collaboration between the Visual Methodologies Collective (HvA) and the Sandberg Institute (GRA). This project is kindly funded by CoECI. The program includes monthly public research sessions where an invited artist, duo or collective, explore slow notions related to technology.
