Grote Zaal

For the first TiM lecture, we have invited Dr. Jason Tuckwell from Western Sydney University to talk about “Agency and Technē in Creative Practice”. In this presentation, Jason argues for a method of distinguishing between creation and production to provide resources for understanding contemporary, interdisciplinary art making practice by clarifying the sort of work agents perform. Here, technē identifies the centrality of agents in the performance of an intentional work that deviates repetitious or productive processes as the basic structure of technique: from the mastery of traditional (sculpting or musical performance) to contemporary art practices (machines and computing devices). In order to do so, he will characterize the problem by contrasting the dominant modes of conceiving art: poiesis, which understands art as a generic ontological problem and technē, which treats art as a particular kind of work—a skillful, intentional practice to deviate processes of becoming. Arguably, this distinction leads to very different procedures for determining the ‘work of art’; poiesis considers artistic praxis as resolved into an artefact or art object, while technē considers it as a problem in itself.[<a href="https://transmissioninmotion.sites.uu.nl/agency-and-techne-in-creative-practice-dr-jason-tuckwell-western-sydney-university/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Read More</a>]We are looking forward to seeing you there.Very best wishes,TiM Community*Image credits: Ben Denham. <a href="https://www.bendenham.com/drawing-song/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Drawing Song (2017-2019)</a>
