xeno-/exo-/astro -choreoreadings is a postdoctoral artistic research project that explores research questions that reopen site- and place-responsive choreographic practices by expanding the notions of ‘site’ and ‘place’ to outer space. The prefixes in the title refer to planetary conditions to which I do not have direct access. Another key choreographic exploration focuses on embodying hyper-reading and examining the impact of digital reading on embodied artistic practice. Hyper-reading refers to a computer-assisted, screen-based reading practice that has become common in contemporary daily life globally. It connects the reader to the limitless cyberspace. The research project blends these two spatial dimensions, in which the examination of the notions of choreography and choreoreading happen. The research process is multidisciplinary and hybrid in nature, producing artworks, traces, and reflections. The results are presented in this exposition as artworks and as reflections on the choreographic practice that this process has clarified.<style>/* rules to make button only show up in META */.download-accessible { display:none;}.meta-right-col .download-accessible { display: inline-block; padding: 9px; margin-bottom:25px; border: 1px solid black; background-color:white;}</style><a class="download-accessible" href="/profile/download-media?work=4081900&file=4083694" title="This accessible PDF is a derivative of the original which it is meant to support and not replace.">Download Accessible PDF</a></span> keywords: choreoreading, Choreography, artistic research, place-taking, space / place, space and body
The standard model of particle physics describes matter and antimatter as coming from the same fields and this fact has been confirmed experimentally. It is then curious that the observable universe is made of matter and not antimatter. We will first discuss the evidence that we live in a matter-dominated (or matter-antimatter asymmetric) Universe and then proceed to discuss if this can be explained according to our current understanding of the cosmology and particle physics. We will argue that an important process known as baryogenesis to generate a cosmic matter-antimatter asymmetry had to occur before the Universe was a few second old. Then, we will discuss the necessary ingredients for a successful baryogenesis and point out that the current model contains all the ingredients but not in a sufficient amount. Finally, we will discuss possible extensions to the current model which allow successful baryogenesis and how they can be tested experimentally. Interestingly, they might also be connected to other open puzzles in the fundamental physics, like the tiny neutrino mass.
Com observações cuidadosas e sistemáticas do céu, há muito tempo o ser humano vem construindo e refinando o seu conhecimento a respeito do Universo e de si mesmo. As grandezas observacionais sobre as quais repousa a astronomia estão sendo, finalmente, abundantemente medidas e com precisões inimagináveis graças à Missão Espacial Gaia da Agência Espacial Europeia. Com seus três data releases (2016, 2018 e 2020/22), temos, hoje, em nossas mãos, dados observacionais em quantidade e com qualidade com as quais até bem pouco tempo nem sonhávamos. Entre eles, a grandeza mais importante de toda a astronomia: a distância de mais de um 1,5 bilhão de estrelas que nos permite dizer onde se encontram, como são e como ''dançam'', iniciando assim, uma nova era no estudo da Galáxia e do Universo. Esses dados, disponibilizados para o mundo todo ao mesmo tempo, representam uma alteração radical na base do conhecimento astronômico e impactam tremendamente a astronomia no sentido mais amplo do termo, por muitos e muitos anos. Colegas de todas as partes do mundo estão mergulhados nesse oceano de posições, movimentos, brilhos, cores, etc, confirmando, revendo e refinando o que sabemos e prestes a enfrentarem, uma vez mais na história, o novo.
The ideas and practices related to afrofuturism have existed for most of the 20th century, especially in the north American African diaspora community. After Mark Dery coined the word "afrofuturism" in 1993, Alondra Nelson as a member of an online forum, along with other participants, began to explore the initial terrain and intellectual underpinnings of the concept noting that “AfroFuturism has emerged as a term of convenience to describe analysis, criticism and cultural production that addresses the intersections between race and technology.”Afrofuturism 2.0: The Rise of Astroblacknessrepresents a transition from previous ideas related to afrofuturism that were formed in the late 20th century around issues of the digital divide, music and literature.Afrofuturism 2.0expands and broadens the discussion around the concept to include religion, architecture, communications, visual art, philosophy and reflects its current growth as an emerging global Pan African creative phenomenon.
