Within the Sheffield’s Festival of Algorithmic + Mechanical Performance + Art (Nov. 8th to 12th) on Nov. 11th the „Unmaking Symposium“ will take place. The arts and research symposium with discussions, lectures and performances was convened by the PENELOPE-Team. The group is currently investigating the contribution of ancient weaving to the history of science and technology, especially digital technology (see also the press release on PENELOPE from Dec. 2016).
This symposium puts forward Unmaking as a form of resistance. The taking apart of technology - whether algorithmic or mechanic - is a step in reaching new understanding, whether cultural, historical, or technical. The focus on movement in this process, for example through choreographic, musical, textile, or political action, provides common language for discussion across disciplines. The symposium is convened by the PENELOPE project, where the mythological figure of Penelope from Ancient Greece provides a universal paradigm of unmaking.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
