Artist and musician, London, UK
During her Artist-in-Residence Fellowship, Anneke Kampman will collaborate with Associate Professor Jan Løhmann Stephensen from Aarhus University on the project 'Machine-Characters: The Choreographed Subjectivity of Platform Media Performance'
Digital selves articulate a performance of ‘personality’ able to navigate the precarious conditions of ‘volatile’ markets through the adoption of ready-made personas. Through three events, performances, a publication and an exhibition, this interdisciplinary project interrogates the impact of an asset-based economy on digital personhood using our insights to ‘map’ the infrastructural and choreographic relationships between finance and performance and demonstrate how interactions between personas and platforms condition the subjectivities considered valuable in digital public space.
Anneke Kampman is an award-nominated musician, artist and academic researcher whose work engages the political economy of the cultural industries from a transnational and transdisciplinary perspective. By mobilising pop cultural artefacts as ‘texts’ which mediate relationships between individuals, states and markets, her works open these apparently smooth or spectacular systems up to public scrutiny.
