Femke Herregraven | In the Making #12In the Making #12: Prediction, Simulation, and the Incalculable Model
Femke Herregraven has been invited by ACPA at West Den Haag on Thursday, 22 May to talk about the research she completed at Rietveld/Sandberg between 2020 and 2024, for which she obtained the title of Creator Doctus (CrD).
Through a series of recent works, Femke Herregraven’s talk explores the modelling and financialization of the future. It reflects on how, rather than rejecting technology, technological tools can be repurposed to experiment with image making when perception collapses, to escape the categorisation of the model, and how to speak when language no longer suffices. How can the entanglement of language, code, matter, and predictive structures become a new protocol for image and art making? Underpinning this talk is the question of artistic research method and what a method means within a state of vertigo and disorientation.
After the presentation, Femke Herregraven will be joined by Dr. Marleen Stikker, founder and executive director of Waag Futurelab and Dr. Francesco Ragazzi, associate professor in International Relations at Leiden University and co-director of ReCENTR.
