About the event

For New Materialities in the Digital Age - Talk & Screening on the 22nd Of October 2018

7-10pm

Exhibition goes on until the 22nd of November, Wed-Saturday 12-6pm

Hosted by Doreen A. Ríos

on invitation from Jonny Tanna

The digital era offers multiple possibilities surrounding the production, simplification, automation and creation: this has opened the door for new materialities that not only respond to the physicality of an object but also to its processes and exchanges developed from digitization.

Taking as a starting point the theories created by James Bridle and the New Aesthetic Tumblr project, Christiane Paul and the concept of Neomateriality, Bernard Stiegler and his ideas behind Hypermateriality and Timur Si-Quin’s perception of Metamaterality, this talk will look into these concepts and their incidence in the creative world, design and mass production.

Understanding the difference between new materials and new materialities from the processes of dematerialization - digitization - rematerialization we’ll be looking into the ideas of ubiquity, teleportation and clonation inside art production.

This talk will be followed by a screening of audiovisual pieces which seek to blur the borders of materials and become dimensional hybrids, playing with the idea of new materialities themselves.

Why should you sponsor?

We have a large reach of people 18 - 80 years old, who both will continue buying the brands after. Myself, included, have enjoyed a beverage at an event and continued to purchase this brand for myself and others, which allows for not only growth in their particular target market but also in newer markets/customers as well

Harlesden High Street is a peripatetic project that develops and promotes artists on the fringes of society. Focusing on a purpose to decentralise the elitism found in the contemporary world, our goals would be to build bridges and eventually decipher the struggles an artist has to make a living and build a career within art, as well as reach a genuine cross cultural unification. We will also host programmes for local youth to come and learn how to create art, films and creative writing. 

 

Ideally we want to generate ideas whilst broadening the scope, and awareness, of inner city areas globally.
