MOTS A SOIGNER / WORDS TO HEAL
Emancipation, liberal / Emancipation, liberal

"Hot Liberal People" se veut etre un podcast parodique qui detourne les codes des podcasts masculinistes ultra-liberaux. En reprenant certaines maximes et phrases tout aussi choquantes les unes que les autres, nous avons cherché à les décrédibiliser. Cette industrie très spécifique du développement pérsonel à ses auditeurs une emancipation axée sur la productivité et le dépassement de soi. En réalité ces propos s'inscrivent dans une mouvance néo-fasciste aux accents virilistes.

"Hot Liberal People" is intended to be a parody podcast that mimics the style of ultra-liberal masculinist podcasts. By imitating certain catchphrases and statements, each as shocking as the next, we have sought to undermine their credibility. This very specific self-help industry offers its listeners a form of empowerment centred on productivity and pushing oneself to the limit. In reality, these statements are part of a neo-fascist movement with virile undertones.

MNEMOSONIC RECOLLECTION
édhéa - MAPS (Master of Arts in Public Spheres), Sierre
20-23 February 2023

"I sometimes wonder what was disappeared first, among all the things that have vanished from the island... Things go on disappearing, one by one.”
Yoko Ogawa - The Memory Police

In Yoko Ogawa’s novel, The Memory Police, things whose existence and durability were once taken for granted are made to disappear quite arbitrarily, and not long afterwards, also the memory that they had ever existed. Speculatively projecting ourselves into the dystopia imagined by Ogawa – one that is not so far from certain ecological, political and technological contexts of today’s world - we ask ourselves how we can develop mnemosonic strategies and forms to keep alive not only the knowledge but the sense and feel of what is most precious to us. Perhaps more than images, it is sound that can carry and preserve the affective relation we have to objects, ideas, experiences, species, languages, emotions, forms of life at risk of disappearing. "Mnemosonic Recollection" is an invitation to use radio as a mode of resistance to cancellation, forgetting, oblivion.

MNEMOSONIC RECOLLECTION 4: 46°17′18″ N 7°31′15″ E (Hafiza Asmal Valodia, Salomé Coste Blochet, Alexander Fritz)

Disappearance of Disappearance.

Disappearance of this appearance
That things do disappear.
Disappearance a limit of understanding transformation.
Possessed by preservation
To observe transformation
Transforming time itself.
Becoming disappearance.

Cataloguing and categorising
With ridiculous perseverance to maintain
A meaning for disappearance.
Left in an archive
As it accumulates to create
A reappearance of things in disappearance.

Rights of access to new ears
To reappear
In an attention sphere
To remember all the things that disappear.

Stay clear of a fear to
Understand Transformation.
Deleted when repeated.
Where do things go when they disappear?

EPISODE 3: A STRANGE NAP (by Jonathan Levy-Forcada)
Under the metal tree, in the park, I came upon Dystopia and Utopia. It was a strange nap.
Using field-recordings gathered in Sierre and Geneva, this sound piece was created around the feelings of estrangement and anxiety. Using AI as a tool to inject randomness into the process, the text was built as a cut-up of words from Thomas More’s Utopia and Donna Haraway’s Chtulucene. Fragments of these texts were then put into an AI engine to create sentences consisting of only verbs and adjectives. These sentences, or verbal poetry, were then given to a AI voice-generator to create the chorus of this eerie, multi-layered soundscape.

EPISODE 02 - A Major Disappearance of a Minor Voice (Mohamed Elbakry & Clément Lambelet)
This piece follows a character's journey navigating the challenges of a bustling city. As he navigates his environment, he constantly struggles to assert his voice and tell his story while contending with safety, vulnerability and uncertainty issues. Through this character's story, listeners will glimpse how marginalized communities must constantly claim and reclaim their voices to find a sense of belonging in the world around them.

EPISODE 01 - Echoelse (Flurina Brügger and Louis Levesque)
If music playing devices crashed tomorrow and all our playlists became obsolete, what song would you remember? Would it be a melody or a lyric, or both?
It has been proven that music can help people with end-stage Alzheimer’s disease, as if it could transcend illness and re-establish a forgotten relation with our recollections. In most cities, bird songs are disappearing under the noise of “progress”, while street whistlers, humming lovers or buzzing melancholics are taking flight too. So, what do we remember now, collectively?
Interested in these questions, we went to listen to vestiges of song memories that inhabit the wanderers of the Swiss town of Sierre.

atelier automatique (Versuch einer dokumentarischen Anverwandlung)
von Knieb & Krempels

Vielleicht sollten wir nur noch so reisen: Von einem unabhängigen, experimentellen und gemeinschaftlich verwalteten Ort zum nächsten. Mit den Menschen sprechen, die das Entstehen dieser Orte begleitet, in ihnen gelebt und gearbeitet haben, die die Probleme vor Ort kennen und erklären können, warum diese Praxis und jener Begriff wichtig geworden sind. Die eine Meinung dazu haben, was Ästhetik mit Politik zu tun hat, und was Öffentlichkeit heißt. Die um die Bedeutung von Infrastrukturen wissen und im informellen Zusammenkommen Vieler in lokalen Konstellationen ein revolutionäres Potenzial sehen. Vielleicht könnte eine solche Reise hier und heute (wieder) beginnen.

Die experimentelle Audio-Dokumentation (Skript und Regie: Christofer Schmidt) porträtiert das atelier automatique, einen gemeinschaftlich verwalteten Ort für künstlerisches Praxis und alltägliche Kulturarbeit im Ruhrgebiet. Das Hörstück entstand im Rahmen der Residenz farsi comune. Zu Gemeinwohl, Kulturarbeit und Commons im Sommer 2022.

atelier automatique (attempt at a documentary adaptation)
by Knieb & Krempels

Maybe we should, from now on, travel only like that: from one independent, experimental and self-organized place to the next. Talk to the people who have accompanied the emergence of these places, who have lived and worked in them, who know the local problems and can explain why this practice and that term have become important. To those who have an opinion on what aesthetics has to do with politics and what it means to take care of the so-called public sphere. To those who are aware of the importance of infrastructures and see the revolutionary potential in the informal coming together of the many in local constellations. Maybe such a journey could start (again) here and now.

The experimental audio documentation (script and direction: Christofer Schmidt) portrays the atelier automatique, a community-managed place for artistic practice and everyday cultural work in the Ruhr area. The radio play was created as part of the artistic residency “farsi comune. On cultural work, community and commons” in Summer 2022.

Journées internationales à Paris 8 / Association Chaosmosemedia - 20-22 octobre 2022

We had the chance to participate in the Guattari+30 event and recorded some of the interventions, as well as fragments of a happening that took place in Ramuntcho Matta's Studio. We present here our second remix, with an extract from Franco Berardi BIFO's intervention.
Thank you Bifo, buon ascolto!
Silvia Maglioni & Graeme Thomson

Journées internationales GUATTARI +30
L’association Chaosmosemedia, l’Université de Paris 8 et le Collège International de philosophie co-organisent trois journées de rencontres transversales entre champs disciplinaires (philosophie, sciences de l’éducation, genre, musique/danse, cinéma/arts plastiques), et entre praticien·ne·s et clinicien·ne·s de la santé mentale, activistes, enseignant·e·s et étudiant·e·, autour d’investissements de désir que permettent l’œuvre et la pratique sociale de Guattari.

Félix Guattari est mort fin août 1992, quelques mois après la publication de son dernier ouvrage Chaosmose, dont le dernier chapitre, « Pour une refondation des pratiques sociales » parait en octobre 1992 dans Le Monde diplomatique. L’ensemble de son œuvre constitue une critique radicale de la manière dont les sciences sociales, et notamment la psychanalyse, rendent impuissant·e·s face aux transformations du monde. Par sa présence amicale et décisive aux côtés de tous les mouvements du moment, il a affirmé résolument que de nouvelles voies pouvaient être trouvées pour les passions transformatrices. Il a proposé à l’université et dans toute la société de mobiliser de nouvelles subjectivités collectives et/ou « quelconques », de nouveaux rapports entre mouvements des corps, territoires, esthétique et éthique.

Comment cartographier une subjectivité qui n’est pas encore là ? Comment articuler de nouveaux rapports de flux, de machines, d’univers incorporels et de territoires, dans le contexte de la guerre en Europe et du dérèglement climatique? Comment contourner la résurgence de micro/macro fascismes dans les transformations subjectives de grande ampleur que provoque un tel contexte?
