Networked Topologies (Csenge Kolozsvari and Daniel Pinheiro - May / Nov 2018) - a participatory action where, by combining remote locations and individuals, it intends to explore the affordances of the networked space across, the topological movement where we register value through and with.
First developed as part of the Schizo-Somatic Workshop series and activated on May 9th, 2018 at the SenseLab at Concordia University (Montreal, CA) this project aims to explore the affordances of the networked space across and acknowledging the interruption produced by technology connecting the different nodes. This iteration focused on experimenting the collective production of a space across, under the concept of ‘collective dreaming’ suggested by Erin Manning’s propositions for collective fabulations towards social dreaming (here).
The project was shared and activated in the context of Digital Anthropologies #6 (Paris, France).
As an exercise of topological transformation of the space across, this spontaneous transvisual experience, opens doors to discuss a networked movement across within the soft flatness that characterizes the environment where it takes place where the pure flatness of the screen is shown by each person acting within the frame of the webcam and where the constraints imposed by the context render visible the ‘Joy and Sorrow of Unstable Connections’.
