How do narrative and algorithmic tactics, along with networked imagery, reshape the relationships to bodies and between bodies? What potential lies in counter-narrative artistic appropriations of these tactics and body mythologies?
The two-day workshop invites participants and invited experts to explore the profound ways digital technologies shape our perception of bodies through an ecosystemic world-building methodology. Participants will investigate topics of agency, visibility, hybrid identities, and the complexities of embodied presence in the digital age. Hence, the workshop aims to appropriate these techniques to navigate a regime of algorithmic visibility and craft counter-narratives.
The workshop will be led by Juan Diaz Bohorquez, the European Director of the World Building Institute Berlin/Los Angeles. He has developed narrative design and world-building methodologies, for the past two decades, which have been applied across films and media, social impact projects, and science-art collaborations.
The free two-day workshop is aimed at artists, photographers, writers, journalists, students, designers, and scientists.
This event is part of the VIRAL HALLUCINATIONS series by Haus der Photographie, conceived by Nadine Isabelle Henrich.
