Abstract

This ongoing research project investigates friction as a critical and generative condition of contemporary creative practice.
In an era increasingly shaped by automated systems, accelerated production cycles, and machine-mediated forms of authorship, the project proposes friction itself (delay, interruption, negotiation) as a method for curatorial and artistic inquiry. The research draws on an ongoing international programme of practice that includes the curatorial conception and realisation of the exhibition Banal Devices(Munich 2024); the co-editing of the Arts journal special issue From Craft to Code and Back Again (in progress); the co-editing of an edited volume on materiality and digital practice (in progress); invited curatorial selection and a public presentation for the WRO Media Art Biennale (2025); and associated writing that reflects on collaboration, technological mediation, and the temporalities of the making process.
