Kunsthal Aarhus (tidl. Århus Kunstbygning) er en kunsthal for samtidskunst, der udfordrer med ny og eksperimenterende kunst af danske og internationale kunstnere. Vi går til kant med udtryksformer i forandring og sætter en dagorden i samtidskunsten. Kernen i Kunsthal Aarhus er udstillingerne, som viser alt fra billedkunst til performance og interaktive installationer. Vi åbner dørene for professionelle, udfordrende kunstnere på scenen, uanset om de bryder med konventioner eller fortolker basale udtryksformer. Kunsthal Aarhus' udstillingsprofil er kendetegnet ved et sammenhængende udstillingsprogram med en tydelig agenda. Fra 2010-2012 er hvert års udstillingsprogram kurateret ud fra et særligt defineret tema. Temaet for 2012 er EGO?

Living Surfaces - book launch and discussion on environmental humanities, media, and art
Kunsthal Aarhus, kl. 15-17.30.
Boglancering af Living Surfaces Images, Plants, and Environments of Media (MIT Press) efterfulgt af samtale med forfatterne bag, kunstner Abelardo Gil-Fournier og professor Jussi Parikka.
Gennem et dyk ned i vores planets biosfære og mangfoldige planterige har Gil-Fournier og Parikka fundet frem til en ny og eksperimentel måde at forstå sammenhængen og dialogen mellem naturlige økosystemer og visuelle medier på.
Ved at tage udgangspunkt i et centralt begreb fra kunsthistorien og modernistiske æstetikker, 'overflader' (surfaces), er Gil-Fournier og Parikka med deres nye bog med til at give et indblik i den måde, vi kontrollerer og styrer vores planets grønne områder på; lige fra beskyttede biotoper til landbrug, fra natursansning på afstand til skove som direkte formidlingssteder.
Via deres metodiske tilgang, der blandt andet indebærer at kombinere konkret dataindsamling og -analyse med teknikker kendt fra æstetikkens og sågar (landskabs)arkitekturens fagområder, er forfatterne med til at diskutere deres teoretiske og kunstneriske inspiration fra klodens overflade, som en del af den større aktuelle debat om og fokus på planetaritet.
Eventet vil også byde på muligheden for at opleve deres nye video essay om planetært lys og hvordan is og gletsjeres forsvinden kan blive beskrevet gennem refleksionens æstetik, albedoeffekten. Lydkunstner María Andueza Olmedo har designet video essayets lydlandskab.

Welcome to the book launch and discussion with artist Abelardo Gil-Fournier and professor Jussi Parikka whose new book Living Surfaces Images, Plants, and Environments of Media is just out with MIT Press.
Diving into the world of plants and vegetal surfaces, Gil-Fournier and Parikka offer an experimental way to understand visual media culture in dialogue with the worlds of biological and ecological life. While "surfaces" have been central to art history and for example modernist aesthetics, this book looks at the different scales of management and control of living surfaces of the planet from biosphere to agriculture, remote sensing to forests as sites of mediation - of visuality and hiding, of obfuscation and targeting. Their approach combines questions of datafication with aesthetics and even (landscape) architecture as they discuss their theoretical and artistic inspiration in surfaces as part of current topics and debates on planetarity.
The event will also feature their new video essay on planetary light. It focuses on how disappearance of ice and glaciers can be described as aesthetics of reflection, the albedo effect. Sound artist María Andueza Olmedo has designed the soundscape of the new video work.

Darc distinguished Lecture 2024: Matthew Fuller
Kunsthal Aarhus, kl. 14.15-16.
We are excited to announce that pioneer of software studies, cultural theorist Matthew Fuller is giving the second Digital Aesthetics Distinguished Lecture.
The annual lectures celebrate internationally leading artists and theorists whose work has made a significant contribution to digital culture scholarship with a special emphasis on art, design, and experimental practices. Fuller will be joining us in Aarhus to talk on "Art as Metadiscipline."
After Fuller's talk we will celebrate at the Kunsthal Aarhus with the traditional Friday bar.
Participation is free, but we recommend securing a seat on Billetto.
Fuller's visit and the annual Distinguished Speaker series are organized by the Digital Aesthetics Research Centre. It is supported by Kunsthal Aarhus and the Cultures and Practices of Digital Technologies research program as well as the department of Digital Design and Information Studies at Aarhus University.
For further information and press queries, contact DARC director Jussi Parikka, parikka@cc.au.dk.
Art as MetadisciplineMatthew Fuller
Twenty-first century artists have increasingly worked on the problems and the modes of enquiry of other disciplines and fields. The findings, styles of thought, and habits of operation and conduct of the sciences, sociology, mathematics, literature, governance and education, amongst others, have become resources for reworking and expanding. They are used to probe questions of power, imagination and invention, but also to rework the condition of the aesthetic more broadly.
This expansion of art has multiple roots. Some are to do with the changing terrain of post-conceptual art and its multiple tendencies in the context of the changing condition of the the disciplines more broadly, including developments such as the new humanities or posthumanities. Other factors include an engagement with sciences and the adoption and alteration of their working methods or their interpretation at a tangent to more traditional forms of interdisciplinarity. This includes approaches ranging from treating disciplines and their objects as "found objects" or elaborating techniques of mutual interest. Others rework the idea of art into a process of learning and becoming in education or in forms of political and ecological direct action or speculation. Importantly, digital media and computing provide both a conduit and terrain for these shifts, as well as a key subject of and means for art's widening reformulation.
These tendencies suggest that art is emerging as something that can be called a meta-discipline: a mode of work whose operation includes both working in other disciplines and acting upon them. Mathematics and philosophy have been key meta-disciplines for a long period. They work in and on both the conditions of possibility and the working matters of other fields.
Art has historically been allocated the role of working on sensation and feeling via representation. In the present, art also works on concepts, institutions, techniques and information, including the workings of these prior-metadisciplines. This talk will examine aspects of the genealogy and potential of this tendency.
BiographyMatthew Fuller is a cultural theorist who works on art, science, politics and aesthetics. His books include How to Sleep: The Art, Biology and Culture of Unconsciousness (Bloomsbury 2018), How to Be a Geek: Essays on the Culture of Software (Polity 2017), with Olga Goriunova, Bleak Joys: Aesthetics of Ecology and Impossibility (Minnesota 2019) and with Eyal Weizman, Investigative Aesthetics: Conflicts and Commons in the Politics of Truth (Verso 2021). He is a member of the editorial collective of 'Computational Culture, a journal of software studies' http://www.computationalculture.net/ As an artist he has worked with groups such as I/O/D and Mongrel as well as other collaborative and independent projects. He is Professor of Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London
