- This paper describes architecture as a form of cosmotechnics (Hui) which currently manifests a Western-Christian worldview globally. This worldview is entangled with the assumption of a God-given right to control and subordinate nonhuman nature (anthropocentrism). The text looks at the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi - which itself is a cosmotechnical architectural-aesthetic concept embedded in a Zen Buddhist cosmology - and elaborates on its understanding of human-nonhuman control as an alternative example. Afterwards it zooms in on the notion of control and speculates where it is located on the spectrum between microcosm and macrocosm and to what degree it can be active or passive. The conceptual spectrumof microcosm-macrocosm is used to locate control. The qualitative spectrum of chaos-cosmos is used to define its magnitude and directionality. The paper argues for an architectural cosmotechnological understanding of control which is located partially in the physical and partially in the metaphysical world and which is partially active and partially passive - between chaos and cosmos. This conceptual intersection of both spectrums is defined as a point of continuous active negotiation between the human and the nonhuman world. Awareness of this intersectional control point affords a thinking of post-Christian, postcolonial and posthuman architectural cosmotechnics.

Xeno_Monads of Control Architectures
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Book of Abstracts. ; , s. 11-11

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The “xeno” – “the other” – is a prefix found in such hyphenated bridge words such as xeno-poetics, xeno-politics, xeno-feminism, or xeno-architecture. Xeno is the other, the not-self. But who or wha tis this not-self and where is it? In contemporary architectural discourse we find an increasing interest in more-than-human justice, speculation, or realization: ontological or critical posthumanisms and new materialisms explore nonhuman agency and transhumanist or cybernetic posthumanists celebrate the (always coming) fusion of the technological other with the self in order to overcome nature’s imposed (mortal) limits. There seems to be two types of nonhumans, related to the different – and often opposing – understandings of posthumanism: the man-made nonhuman and the non-man-made nonhuman. The xeno seems to mingle with ideologies of the former. A monad – as found in different monadologies, such as Leibnitz’s or the theosophical – is the smallest part of a metaphysical entity. It is the invisible sibling of the, almost outdated and refuted, physical atom. The monad seems to be exclusively found in life, in the non-man-made. In my presentation I would like to speculate on the xeno_monad, a conceptual overlap of the man-made and non-man-made entity and where it is physically and metaphysically situated in architecture. Physically, we might find such speculative entity in either the weathering processes of ruination and decay (non-man-made) or in the digital infrastructures which make up an increasing part of our architectural matters (man-made). Metaphysically, we find it in human perception (does the nonhuman even exist without human perception?): it is found in the fear of losing control over(architectural) matters and (information) flows; it is found in the desire to project human shortcomings onto the other, the outside rather than the inside; and it is found in the spiritual, sometimes perversely mixed with the transhuman, desire to overcome human limitations.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Stigtomta kyrkgrupp träffade i april 2010 professor Tom Sandqvist för ett samtal om nutida konst i Stigtomta kyrka. Bakgrunden var att vi sedan millennieskiftet ventilerat tanken på ett nutida konstverk i kyrkan, en önskan om att få ett konstnärligt uttryck från vår tid.Många frågor kom upp. Vilket tilltal, vilken utsaga vill vi förmedla? Ska det gestalta den kristna tron i vår tid eller vara en utsmyckning? Ska det konfrontera eller korrespondera med kyrkans "museala miljö"? Hur samspela med Pehr Hörbergs altartavla? Ett kvinnligt verk jämfört med nuvarande manligt dominerade verk med krigsmonument och prästmän?Stigtomta kyrka är byggd i olika omgångar sedan 1200-talet. Idag domineras interiören av Pehr Hörbergs altartavla "Fottvagningen" från 1812. Den visar hur Jesus tvättar lärjungarnas fötter - en förebild för en tjänande livshållning.Tom Sandqvist kom med idén att låta deltagarna i Konstfacks kurs Helighetens bilder ge förslag till nutida konstverk i Stigtomta kyrka. En utmärkt idé tyckte alla. Hösten 2010 besökte sedan deltagarna Stigtomta och bekantade sig med kyrkan och vi berättade om vår församling.Här presenteras nu kursdeltagarnas förslag, som kommer att visas i Stigtomta kyrka under en majvecka 2011. Därefter kommer kyrkgruppen och kyrkorådet att ta ställning till om något förslag kommer att förverkligas i kyrkan.

The opening gambit of a losing game: the UGOT Centre for Public Culture, including Six contentions about transdisciplinary research in the cultural sciences
- 2015

Ingår i: Transvaluation: Making the World Matter, May 21-22 2015 (Online Proceedings).

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Transvaluation conference calls for “alternative, cooperative environments of knowledge, of creation and invention, of ‘making and thinking’”. This presentation will offer such an initiative (in fact, a failed one) for discussion: the Centre for Public Culture, one of many proposals submitted to the on-going process of establishing new transdisciplinary research centres at the University of Gothenburg. As a complement, I also present a few of the assumptions – my own personal ones – behind the transdisciplinary framework of our application.

Repetition as the maker of difference, genre theory revisited
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Book of abstracts and bio-bibliographical information. - Athens. ; , s. 87-88
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper I propose to rethink the conditions for analyzing cinematic spectatorship of the documentary/mockumentary beyond the representationalist notion of genre (Neale, 1990; Nichols, 2001; Roscoe and Hight, 2001). The crux of the problem is, I argue, the understanding of cinematic spectatorship of the real as a meeting of, on the one side the Subject, and on the other the object. This model of representation, as detailed by Deleuze in Difference and Repetition (1968), produce the problem as one of analogy, sameness, opposition and similarity, thus methodologically approachable only through translations and interpretations. Genre theory as contrued on this model consequently produces the spectator-subject as an identifier of the real and the false (as irreconsible categories). Here I propose a methodological rethinking of spectatorship, namely as an affective and entangled spectating event (cf: Massumi 2002; Barad 2007; Deleuze 1990/1969). This, I argue, produce a moving-image-body. Actualized as a singular assemblage where every new relation and intensity produced through the event-body changes the same, the concepts of the moving-imgae-body enables a micropolitical "molecular analysis that allows us to move from forms of power to investments of desire" (Guattari 2009, 284). Thus every moving-image-body can be mapped following the productive force of repetition, that is, through actualizations of virtual in exploration of the production of new images of thought, realiteis and subjectivities.
