FCJ-116 Media Ecologies and Imaginary Media: Transversal Expansions, Contractions, and Foldings
Jussi Parikka Anglia Ruskin University [Abstract] Just as capacities of thought, of being, are made in lived bodies, in complex and delicately conjoined tissues and processes, and just as powers are inherent in all matter, materialism also requires that the capacities of activity, thought, sensation, and affect possible to each composition whether organic or not are shaped by what it is, what it connects to, and the dimensions of relationality around it. (Fuller, 2005: 174) Now more than ever, nature cannot be separated from culture; in order to comprehend the interactions between ecosystems, the mechanosphere and the social and individual Universes of reference, we must learn to think ‘transversally.’ (Guattari, 2000:43). In addition to the realisation that theory should be seen as situated practice, we can also consider practice as theory. Practices are in themselves theoretical excavations into the world of ‘things’, objects of (cultural) research conducted in a manner…

FCJ-115 Autocreativity and Organisational Aesthetics in Art Platforms
Olga Goriunova London Metropolitan University [Abstract] Introduction Cultural production on the Internet has developed numerous dynamics and consistencies that drive considerations of creativity, organisation and the inter-relations of media. This article presents and briefly discusses the concept of an art platform, a particularly resonant form of such cultural production. The article enquires into the ways that powers of operation are constituted by particular kinds of social, technical, aesthetic and ethical forces. The media ecological approach to which this special issue is devoted can be seen as engaging with these forces. Such forces are discussed here via the concepts of autocreativity and organisational aesthetics. These concepts are in turn traversed and amplified by the particular qualities and potentials of art platforms.[1] The concepts offered in this article, in particular that of autocreativity, allow connections to be made between diverse approaches to creativity: ‘creative industries’ jargon and psychological endeavors, philosophical accounts of…
