About Panel
Investigating Sensoriums:
Beyond Life/Machine Dichotomy
This round of discussion derived from the participating speakers’ responses toward to the title of the exhibition, Beneath the Skin, Between The Machines. What lies beneath the skin of the earth and between the machines may well be signals among sensors. Geocinema’s study on the One Belt One Road initiative and exploration of a “planetary” notion of cinema relate directly to the above concern. Marc R. Dusseiller as a transdisciplinary scholar draws our attention to the possible pathways that skin/machines may generate for understanding to go beyond life/machine dichotomy. Zian Chen’s recent research attempts to bring the mediatized explorations back to our real living conditions. He will resort to real news events as cases to show why these mediatized explorations are embodied experience.
This Saturday from 15:00-16:30, HOW Art Museum in collaboration with Pro Helvetia Shanghai, Swiss Arts Council, invite Zian Chen (writer and curator), Geocinema (art collective) and Marc R. Dusseiller (transdisciplinary scholar and artist) to have a panel discussion, probing into the topic of Beneath the Skin, Between The Machines from the perspectives of their own practice and experience. The panel will be moderated by curator and writer Iris Long.

supported by Pro Helvetia Shanghai, Swiss Arts Council
Platform of Future-Past (2022), specifically created by fabric | ch for the exhibition, attempts to answer the question of how to provide an occasion and space for non-centralised observation or participation in the exhibition, and the installation itself can be seen as an architectural proposal based on the vast amount of data generated in the environment.
This platform overlooking the exhibition hall connects the entrance and exit directly - meaning that the platform offers the possibility of traversing the space without actually entering it and becoming an observer. Platform of Future-Past is equipped in three zones with environmental monitoring devices. The sensors record as much data as possible over time, generated by the continuously changing conditions, presences and uses in the exhibition space. The data is then stored on Platform Future-Past's servers and replayed in a loop on its computers. It is a "recorded moment", "frozen" on the data servers, that could potentially replay itself forever or is waiting for someone to reactivate it. A "data center" on the deck, with its set of interfaces and visualizations screens, lets the visitors-observers follow the ongoing process of recording.
About fabric | ch
fabric | ch
Combining experimentation, exhibition and production, fabric | ch formulates new architectural proposals and produces singular livable environments that bind localized and distributed landscapes, algorithmic behaviors, atmospheres and technologies.
Since the foundation of the studio, the architects and scientists of fabric | ch have investigated the field of contemporary space in its interaction with technologies. From network-based environments that blend physical and digital properties, to algorithmic recombinations of locations, temporalities and dimensions based on the objective sensing of their environmental data, it is the nature of our relationship to the environment and to contemporary space that is rephrased.
The work of fabric | ch therefore deals with issues related to the mediation of our relationship to place and distance, to automated climatic, informational and energy exchanges, post-mobility and globalization, embedded in a perspective of creolization, spatial interbreeding and sustainability.

Meanwhile, as a continuation of the 2019 exhibition "Serious Games", this exhibition will continue to explore how to create technical public spaces and the various ways of incorporating technical issues into public discourse, and will open up a series of dialogues and debates related to the exhibition. Series panel will take place on the "panel installation" - "Platform of Future-Past" (2022), specially created by fabric | ch for the exhibition, where the conversations and actions will be captured, observed and archived as they are activated in the exhibition hall.
