Curator Ele Carpenter is in conversation with artist and writer Susan Schuppli discussing their shared interest in nuclear technology and culture. Over the last four years, Susan Schuppli has created a new series of works as part of the Nuclear Culture project curated by Ele Carpenter. The pair discuss Schuppli's new film Trace Evidence: A Nuclear Trilogy presented as part of the Perpetual Uncertainty exhibition at Bildmuseet, Umea, Sweden (2 October 2016 - 16 April 2017). In their discussion the pair draw on ideas of nuclear materiality as discussed in The Nuclear Culture Source Book, published by Black Dog Publishing in partnership with Bildmuseet and Arts Catalyst. The Nuclear Culture Source Book, edited by Ele Carpenter, brings together contemporary art practices investigating the nuclear anthropocene, nuclear sites and materiality, along with important questions of radiological inheritance, nuclear modernity and the philosophical concept of radiation as a hyperobject. The book features over 60 artists pages with contributions from: Gabrielle Hecht, Eiko Honda, Timothy Morton, Peter C van Wyck, Susan Schuppli, Jahnavi Phalkey, Victor Gama, Noi Sawaragi. -- Ele Carpenter is a curator. Her Nuclear Culture curatorial research project is a partnership between The Arts Catalyst and Goldsmiths, University of London, where she is Senior Lecturer in MFA Curating and convenor of the Nuclear Culture Research Group.

Published essays include: ‘Shifting the Nuclear Imaginary: art and the flight from nuclear modernity’ In: Cold War Legacies, eds J. Beck, R. Bishop, Edinburgh University Press (2016); 'The Smoke of Nuclear Modernity drifts through the Anthropocene', In: Power in the Land, ed H. Grove-White, 2016. Susan Schuppli is an artist and Senior Lecturer and Deputy Director of the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK. Her practice examines media artefacts that emerge out of sites of contemporary conflict and state violence to ask questions about the ways in which media enable or limit the possibility of transformative politics.

Come embroider the digital commons with us this Saturday from 10-3 at Furtherfield Gallery!
Please join us this Saturday morning EDC workshop to stitch the term 'Meme' from the lexicon for the Digital Commons, part of the Being Social exhibition at Furtherfield Gallery.
A cultural ‘meme’ is the way in which an idea spreads through social networks.
Workshop Scedule: Sat 31 March, 11am - 3pm - Facilitated by Ele Carpenter with Special Dorkbot guests!
The Embroidered Digital Commons is a collectively stitched version of ‘A Concise Lexicon of/for the Digital Commons’ by the Raqs Media Collective (2003). The project seeks to hand-embroider the whole lexicon, term by term, through workshops and events as a practical way of close-reading and discussing the text and its current meaning.
We are inviting crafters, programmers, artists, makers, and people interested in working collaboratively, or taking part in participatory projects to each stitch a few words of the term meme. The resulting patches will then be turned into a short film depicting the sequence of embroideries.
More information
Hope to see some of you on the day! :)
Do you like embroidery? And digital culture? Then Embroidered Digital Commons is for you.
Over the next two months you can join in the embroidering of 'Meme' as part of the 'Being Social' exhibition at Furtherfield's new space in Finsbury Park, London. Workshops are on Saturday mornings and they run from 11-3.
---------------------------------------------------------
The Embroidered Digital Commons is a collectively stitched version of the Raqs Media Collective’s text ‘A Concise lexicon of / for the Digital Commons’ 2003, facilitated by Ele Carpenter. The term 'meme' will be stitched as part of Furtherfield's exhibition 'Being Social' opening in their new gallery in the middle of Finsbury Park, London. The Saturday morning workshops are open to all and will be facilitated by Emilie Giles and Ele Carpenter with special guests. Seehttp://www.eleweekend.blogspot.com for more details. A cultural ‘meme’ is the way in which an idea spreads; so if you are a crafter, computer programmer, artist, blogger, maker, or just interested in cultural memes and social networks then you are invited to come along and find out more about the project. The embroidery of 'meme' will include a series of grey on black embroideries in support of the protest against the highly restrictive SOPA and PIPA anti-piracy laws. So if you feel strongly about digital rights and electronic freedoms black fabric and grey thread will be provided.
