THE KYLLIX

The Psibernetic Arch

“Our guiding metaform is that of a rainbow arch bridging two apparently opposed spheres: cybernetics and psychic systems; the west and east sides of the mind, provision and prevision: cyb and psi. As the digital cedes to the chemical in mind research, we can expect a greater appreciation of the dynamic organism as the meta model of social and cultural construction, and consciousness as our field of creative inquiry and play”

Roy Ascott

BECOMEBECOME LONDON 2017

 

We invite you to apply to our nomadic residency and exhibition programme taking place in London with our partners Green Rooms and Arebyte Gallery.

During this 10-day residency in the heart of London, we will transform, make, and exhibit our work in various locations and present the results at Arebyte Gallery in the heart of London’s art district. This full-immersive journey investigates practical approaches to the theme of the mysteries and the hidden, including questions like: What part of an experience crafted through art, research, or everyday language needs to remain untold? What quality of experience exists in a space shaped by the consequences of what must remain hidden?

The A-Club Cultural Visit 2016

THE MASTER PERIPATOS

 “Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences.’’― R. Ascott

‘’Rather than taking Acropolis Hill as an art object of highest importance, let’s consider it as an ultimate rock and unfold its potentialities, by meandering around its schema.’’   – K. Karoussos

During the mid-20th century a group of Greek artists returned to Greece from France and Germany, creating the conditions for an exceptional integration of the ancient Greek and Modern Culture. In close contact with their colleagues such as Le Corbusier, Paul Klee, De Chirico etc., they achieved to dislocate the monumental art, science and architecture of ancient Greece in a new, robust framework in modern era.

Summer 1929. Angelos Sikelianos walks with Dimitris Pikionis somewhere in Kifissia. “I have decided it,” he says. The Delphic Centre should be designed by a Greek architect.” You shall be the one. It is a Centre which will promote worldwide the principles of the lost Dorian or Apollonian Science. Now the time is right to become such a cultural center here, in the center of the world. Tagor has done it at Visva Bharati in Bengal, Lubicz at Suhalia in Geneva, Steiner at Goetheanum in Dornach. It’s time to do something similar and Delphi.

The Becomebecome Masterclass 2016

In May 2016 a group of Planetary Collegium researchers gathered together, in Athens, to give a Masterclass under the framework of Becomebecome.org, a project that has been initiated by Andrea Traldi (Planetary Collegium).Having as main objective to support Planetary Collegium members, the A-Club worked closely with this group for the implementation of the Masterclass.The Masterclass focused on the issues of consciousness and human noesis,aiming to show their enhanced capacity in network communication when they engaged with the aspects of transdisciplinarity and syncretism.

The mentoring group of Becomebecome 2016 consisted of the following A-Club members: Andrea Traldi (PhD Planetary Collegium), Lila Moore (Advanced Research Associate, Planetary Collegium) Pam Payne (PhD Planetary Collegium) and Agnieszka Pokrywka (External Partner @ Pixelache).

The main venue of the Masterclass was the lab of Communication and Media Studies of Athens University, kindly provided by Dimitris Charitos, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Most of the hands-on part of the Masterclass was held at unMonastery Athens residence. UnMonastery (http://athens.unmonastery.org/ ) is a non-profit project that aims to challenge existing dependency chains and economic fictions. It is a place-based social innovation, aiming to address the interlinked needs of empty space, unemployment and depleting s by embedding committed, skilled individuals within communities that could benefit from their presence.

Athens Masterclass: 22-29 May, 2016

The Cybernetic_Peripathetic theme of the Athens BecomeBecome Masterclass aims to intertwine two kinds of movement, whether concerning wandering around or flow of information, and involve both body and mind in a process-based development of the participants’ particular art pieces and scientific projects.

Peripatetikos (περιπατητικός) refers to the act of walking, and as an adjective, “peripatetic” is often used to mean itinerant, wandering, meandering, walking about. AfterAristotle‘s death, a legend arose that he was a “peripatetic” lecturer – that he walked about as he taught – and the designation Peripatetikos came to define the school of his followers.
