mono.kultur #44 - Trevor Paglen: The Edge of Tomorrow
MonoKultur
2017
nidottu
Issue #44 of mono. kultur might just be our most adventurous yet: traveling from the deserts of New Mexico to the exclusion zone in Fukushima, from satellite orbits in space to the inner realms of Artificial Intelligence, our conversation with American artist Trevor Paglen is as expansive as his work is ambitious. Best known for his series on clandestine military bases and spy satellites, Trevor Paglen’s practice reaches far beyond museum walls. Instead, it encompasses a variety of disciplines; from image-making and installations to investigative journalism, writing, engineering, geography, and sound design. Along the way, Paglen challenges our traditional notions of fine art. He has published a number of books on the functioning of the US intelligence services, installed a series of Autonomy Cubes that allow access to the entirely anonymous Tor network, and is currently working on his own satellite to be launched into space in summer 2018. Holding degrees in comparative religion, music composition, fine arts, and geography, Trevor Paglen is undoubtedly concerned with the larger questions in life. In pieces that are statements as much as they are questions, his work exposes the invisible mechanisms of modern existence, exploring the human condition in relation to the political, social, military, and economic systems our societies operate on. In a sweeping conversation with mono. kultur, Trevor Paglen talked about the volatility of truth, the dilemmas of the Anthropocene, and why Artificial Intelligence will not outlast humanity. True to its precious content, the issue comes in a Static Shielding Bag normally used for sensitive electronic products. In loose reference to computer coding as well as archival documents, it contains a main booklet with the text and excerpts from Paglen’s current cycle on machine vision, as well as six ‘attachments’ covering seminal projects from his career to date. Interview by Nick Houde / Works by Trevor Paglen / Design by mono. studio 24 Pages & 6 Inserts in Static Shielding Bag

Trevor is an exuberant, sociable, and witty thirteen year old. So how come, when he takes that nerve-wrecking turn toward his locker at school, does he feel scared and alone? Shunned by his friends, misunderstood by his parents, and harrassed at school for being different, Trevor goes from wondering what color glitter to choose for his Lady Gaga costume at Halloween, to wondering why some feelings "are so intense it makes you just want to lay down and die rather than go on feeling it," and making an attempt on his life. "Trevor "mixes humor and realism in an urgent look at what it is like to feel alienated from everything around you. And more importantly, what critical ties can step in at the most unlikely moment, to save you from despair, and give you reason to go on living. "Trevor "is an update of the film version of the story, directed by Peggy Rajski, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short in 1994. The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning youth. As the recent attention to youth suicides has received increased media attention, and Dan Savage's IT GETS BETTER campaign has gone viral around the world, the public is finally beginning to face hard facts. Thirty-three percent of suicides among teenagers involve LGBTQ youth, one-third of all LGBT kids report having attempted suicide, and nine out of ten report overt harassment at school. "Trevor "is an effort to make those kids feel loved and supported, so they will find the strength to go on living.

This book provides an in-depth look at the work of British writer Trevor Griffiths, who has been a powerful and unique presence in British theater, television, and film for the past thirty years. Griffiths's theatrical works, including Occupations (1970), The Party (1973), Comedians (1975), Oi for England (1982) and Real Dreams (1984) have been highly acclaimed by critics such as Benedict Nightingale, who called Griffiths "as articulate and eloquent a thinker as the British stage possesses." Griffiths has also written successfully for British television, and collaborated with Warren Beatty on the Academy-award winning film Reds (1981).Garner's study is the first to present and critically discuss the full range of Griffiths's works. The works are shown to reveal an intense awareness of class and its material underpinnings, a concern with the power of realism, an overarching commitment to history as a field of political and cultural intervention, and a willingness to examine the terms and parameters of this intervention. Garner traces the influence of New Left historical activism on Griffiths's earliest plays and considers the evolution of his historical understanding throughout his career. He proposes that Griffiths sees history as a scene for the staging of counter-discourses and as a representational course for the establishment of dialectic (and dialogic) relationships between the present and the past, between the received and the revisionist, and between ideological positions.Trevor Griffiths: Politics, Drama, History will appeal to a range of readers who share an interest in contemporary theater, literature, and politics.Stanton B. Garner, Jr. is Professor of English, University of Tennessee.
Trevor Nickolls has been dubbed the 'father' of urban Aboriginal art. He stunned an international audience when he represented Australia alongside Rover Thomas at the Venice Biennale in 1990. He has tackled both the plight of indigenous people in contemporary Australia and the alienation we all experience in a high-tech age. For over 30 years he has impressed audiences with his powerful and potent vision. Trevor Nickolls burst onto the scene in 1978 with his searing exhibition From Dreamtime to Machine Time in Canberra at a time when urban Aboriginal art was essentially unheard of. Thus Nickolls helped pave the way for an explosive new art movement that would shatter preconceptions about the paradigms of indigenous creativity. Provocative and passionate, political and personal, Trevor Nickolls has rightfully carved a major position in the history of contemporary Australian art.
