STRUKTURA is a cross-disciplinary initiative for research and practice within the framework of visual arts, media archeology, literature and philosophy. STRUKTURA is an exploration of how visual media and information technologies contribute to the ordering and production of time, where both past and future exist in a constantly malleable present. This five-month programme sprawls across virtual online environments and multiple physical venues in Oslo. It consists of exhibitions, film screenings, group readings, public event series and a club night.
Technologies shape our sense of time and constitute new arrangements of it. In effect, they produce new formal and experiential temporalities. Today, our experience of time does not merely govern our actions in the present, but influences our past and future. It has become an urgent field for political, economical and environmental struggle. Global telecommunications (internet, mobile phones, fiber optics, satellites, etc) have collapsed time and space into one another. Scientific concepts, social prejudices and media innovations have become tools for the determination and the building of cultural structures in the new-old, ruptured moment of now.
STRUKTURA investigates speculative temporalities, where time is plural, complex and fluid. The participating artists and thinkers present their own sense of futurity and pastness, by exposing concealed knowledge, penetrating time other than the present. STRUKTURA aims at creating a platform to explore relations between time and moving image; virtual, real and actual; current modes of how we instrumentalize history and memory; cultural techniques for temporal mediation. The online and offline program explores ideas of nonlinear spaces challenged by technologies, where different places and different times intersect and coexist together.
STRUKTURA is an independent project supported by Podium, K4 Gallery, Oslo National Academy of the Arts, UNKNOW, Akademirommet at Kunstnernes Hus and The Wrong Biennale for Digital Culture. Design and web development by Magnus Andreas Hagen Olsen. Graphic design by Abirami Logendran. Initiated and developed by Lesia Vasylchenko.
