1301. Unlearnig PiecePeter Purg, 2022, artistic work Abstract: The performative intervention is articulated both through spoken
word as well as in physical (re)presentation of the body in situ.
Along the ELO 2022 programme we select and remix fragments in a way
that corresponds to the principles of Bertolt Brecht's " Lehrstücke,“ the so
called learning or teaching pieces that deconstruct and expose the
mechanisms of (power) relationships inherent to the
(media/art educational ) system in question.
The participants and audiences are invited to comment upon the
intervention, opening a space of (self)reflexive interaction among all the
involved people, and perhaps machines as well. The focus is on eLit /ELO
production and dissemination conditions as related to (if not limited by)
the presented aesthetics and mechanics, the narratives and poetics
exposed.
Provoking both rational and emotional perspectives of the ELO 2022
community, possibilities of (un)learning through acting, playing roles,
adopting postures etc. are explored, dissolving (or at least questioning) the
divide between authors and audiences, both invited (in Brechtian terms) to
acquire attitudes rather than to consume an entertainment.
The challenge at ELO 2022 would also consist of surpassing Brecht's
principles as e.g. derived by the Brasilian director Zé Celso and his Theatre
of Discovery, or Augusto Boal's Forum Theatre that abolished the division
between actors and audiences who were invited to actively intervene in the
discourse presented, a collective experiment and search for solutions to
social (and in this case aesthetical and poetical) issues at hand.
With no actor audience separation, the emphasis on performance shifts
upon the process, rather than the final product be it the artwork itself, or
theoretical discourse about and around it.

1304. Monitoring chemical processes on the atomic scale in catalysts by operando X-ray absorption spectrometryIztok Arčon, 2022, published scientific conference contribution abstract (invited lecture) Abstract: X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful tool for characterisation of local structure and chemical state of selected elements in different new functional materials and biological or environmental samples. The rapid development of extremely bright synchrotron sources of X-ray and ultraviolet light in recent years has opened new possibilities for research of matter at the atomic or molecular level, indispensable in the development of new functional nanostructured materials with desired properties. The lecture will present the possibilities offered by X-ray absorption spectroscopy with synchrotron light for ex-situ and in-situ or operando characterization of various catalyst materials before, after and during their operation. With the operando XANES and EXAFS methods it is possible to track changes in the valence states and local structures of selected elements in various (photo)catalysts, during chemical reactions under controlled reaction conditions, thus gaining insight into the dynamic functional properties and reaction mechanisms of these materials. New synchrotron light sources also opened the possibility of combining X-ray absorption or emission spectroscopy and microscopy with a resolution of up to a few tens of nanometres, allowing micro-XAS analysis with high spatial resolution.

1305. Monitoring of chemical processes at the atomic level by X-ray absorption spectrometry using extremely bright synchrotron radiation sourcesIztok Arčon, invited lecture at foreign university Abstract: X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful tool for characterisation of local structure and chemical state of selected elements in different new functional materials and biological or environmental samples. The XAS spectroscopy is based on extremely bright synchrotron radiation X-rays sources, which allow precise characterisation of bulk, nanostructured or highly diluted samples. The rapid development of extremely bright synchrotron sources of X-ray and ultraviolet light in recent years has opened new possibilities for research of matter at the atomic or molecular level, indispensable in the development of new functional nanostructured materials with desired properties. The lecture will present the possibilities offered by X-ray absorption spectroscopy with synchrotron light for ex-situ and in-situ or operando characterization of various functional porous and other nanomaterials before, after and during their operation.

1306. Red modernism : the films of Miklos Jansco2022, radio or television broadcast, podcast, interview, press conference Abstract: One of the most acclaimed Eastern European directors of the late 1960s, Miklos Jancsó became known for his abstract long-take style which explored the intersections of power, politics, history, and myth. (“Radical form in the service of radical content,” as the Village Voice film critic, James Hoberman, put it back then.) Now that the Beacon Cinema in Columbia City is hosting a retrospective of six of his films (including Red Psalm, which won him the best director prize at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival), Red May has invited three film scholars--Eszter Polonyi, Zoran Samardzija, and Steven Shaviro—to discuss Jancsó’s boldly stylized film language with Tommy Swenson, Film Curator of the Beacon Cinema

1308. Mobility Media: an Archaeology of Identity Photography through Science, Art and Visual CultureEszter Polonyi, unpublished conference contribution Abstract: n an era of total surveillance, being in possession of a biometric ID document can still result in denial of one’s basic civil protections and human rights. The discovery of systematic errors in state-implemented facial recognition programs—such as in recognizing faces of color (Joy Buolamwini)—suggests the failure of current practices of global intelligence and mobility. This paper offers an archaeological investigation of the contemporary photo ID document. Returning to its invention in the 1920s, it examines the issues of conjectural knowledge (Carl Ginzburg), embodiment or tact (Béla Balázs) and the optical unconscious (Walter Benjamin) behind early “physiognomic” media.

1309. Hackers and Coders versus Viewers: The Stakes of Photography in an Era of Image Massification : Tomáš Dvořák and Jussi Parikka, eds., Photography Off the Scale: Technologies and Theories of the Mass Image (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2021).Eszter Polonyi, 2021, review article Abstract: The book Photography Off the Scale: Technologies and Theories of the Mass Image is, first of all, about quantities. Those with memories of pre-smartphone years may suspect that the images of this world have increased in number. Perhaps fewer, however, are aware of just how much. Among the first things we learn in this book is that, in 2018, over 30 million images were uploaded to Twitter, 52 million to Instagram, and 350 million to Facebook — daily (25). For someone who makes a handful of uploads a week, this was news. Who could possibly be looking at them? It turns out, no one. Even if everyone on Earth spent eight hours scrolling through images, they would not all get seen (25). The quantities are just too large. This book claims that the now unconscionable scale at which images circulate and are produced is because they are actually no longer tailored to the human. Interrogating an optics of “ec- centric metrics” (Dvořák), the book tackles one of the liveliest issues in image studies, media studies, and art history today — machine vision, or the vision of the human eye as it is extended by technical apparatuses. It is this seeing “by other means” that the book alleges has thrown the number of images “off the scale.”
