CALL FOR PAPERS
Shrinking horizons, slim pickings, poverty of scope. What new politics of nature are needed here for animals? What representations and spatial practices are required to redress the balance of our shared environments? What is a more animal-centric world like?
The third Animal Gaze symposium will bring together artists, architects and academics to consider human/animal interactions and spatial practices as they manifest themselves in art or in architecture or in both.
We invite considerations of all kinds of animality and at all scales, in response to the following five loose themes: ‘House training’ invites the exploration of the spatial, social and physical limits of our relations with animals and animality at the domestic scale. ‘In common’ seeks examinations of the social and political logics of public spaces, both physical and ethereal, as shared with other creatures. ‘Marking territories’ calls for considerations of how modes of production shape animal space at wider territorial scales. What, for example, might the consequences be for the animal world of changes in farming technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence and hydroponics? ‘Going feral’ invites investigations of human-animal behaviours which counter the order of things. What might a new wilderness be? 'Scoping and visibility' gives headway to an ongoing debate about the representation of animal presence - scale, frame and intention.
