Initiated by Rosa Menkman, the Lothringer 13 Halle will become a space that sheds light on the realms of im/possible images. Through workshops, talks, and other activities during an im/possible summer school, international guests, local artists and researchers are invited to probe the experimental field of knowledge production with an emphasis on (digital) image infrastructures.

Klasse Digitale Grafik (HFBK Hamburg) as guests at Lothringer 13: soft presentation of an im/possible images collection (DE/EN)

Fri, July 23d, 7 pm
Filmscreening: Alan Warburton, RGBFAQ (2020) followed by a conversation between Rosa Menkman and Alan Warburton (EN)
In RGBFAQ, Warburton considers whether the virtual world is as clean and steady as we are conditioned to think. He carefully catalogues the ‘hacks’ used to construct the foundations of simulated worlds, clearly suggesting that the solutions of early computer graphics might be less than ideal material on which to build the foundations of yet another generation of technology.
RGBFAQ excavates these foundations, bringing forth a battery of forensic evidence that undermines what we think of as the image, supplying us instead with the far more unpredictable, colourful concept of the ‘exploded image’.
Limited seats available. Please register in advance at projekt@lothringer13.com

Talk by Susan Schuppli (EN)
Susan Schuppli is a researcher and artist based in the UK whose work examines material evidence from war and conflict to environmental disasters and climate change. Current work is focused on ice core science and the politics of cold. She has published widely within the context of media and politics and is author of the new book, Material Witness, published by MIT Press in 2020.
Schuppli is Reader and Director of the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths where she is also an affiliate artist-researcher and Board Chair of Forensic Architecture.
No registration necessary. Admission within the scope of the currently permitted number of visitors.

Open weather Workshop mit Sasha Engelmann & Sophie Dyer (EN/DE)
Designer and activist Sophie Dyer and geographer Sasha Engelmann open a weather station in Lothringer 13 Halle. Founded in 2020, the open-weather project is an experiment dedicated to mapping and imagining planet Earth and its weather systems beyond the meteorological. It examines structures and narratives of power related to the collection and access to environmental data and challenges them with the production of counter-narratives.
In their open-weather workshop, Sophie Dyer and Sasha Engelmann open up a space to deconstruct visual representations of weather forecasts and Google Earth optics. In the workshop, participants learn how to build and operate their own DIY satellite ground stations to capture and decode transmissions from NOAA weather satellites.
