AA Camp - Talk and workshop 01
Del contexto a la situaci�n: Micropol�ticas y Acciones Adaptativas
Por Marie-Pier Boucher
Presentaci�n : Viernes 12 de Febrero 2010 19hrs
Taller Abstracto : Jueves 18 de Febrero - 19hrs
Lugar: Camp Adaptive Actions, Estaci�n Atocha, Planta 2
Desde 2007, Adaptive Actions (AA) se ha centrado en generar un dep�sito online de intervenciones urbanas. AA pone en funcionamiento varias plataformas para propiciar el pensamiento en torno a los cambios en el espacio urbano, invitando a la participaci�n activa de actores externos. AA se sit�a as� en el contexto de los estudios `performance` de finales de los a�os 30 y principios de los 60. Esta resonancia hist�rica dar� pie al debate con Brian Massumi y Jean Fran�ois Prost acerca de la noci�n de
adaptaci�n. Se presentar�n varias acciones pertenecientes al deposito online de AA en la medida en que se enfrentan a situaciones basadas en oposiciones a escala binaria (macro/micro, local/global, minor�a/mayor�a, etc) con objeto de demostrar que estas oposiciones pueden operar en un nivel micro pol�tico, bas�ndose en la situaci�n en vez de en el contexto. Se establecer� un foro de discusi�n para explorar el poder adaptador de las acciones y ver en qu� manera logr�n adaptarse a una situaci�n y resistir creativamente.

From Context to Situation: Micropolitics and Adaptive Actions
By Marie-Pier Boucher
Talk: Friday February 18th - 7pm
Workshop: Thursday February 18th - 7pm
Place: Adaptive Actions camp, Atocha station, floor two
Since 2007, Adaptive Actions (AA) has been actively creating/generating an online reservoir of urban interventions. In the form of an open invitation AA opens various platforms for thinking and generating change in the urban environment. By looking at several artistic interventions from the late 30's to the early 60's, AA will be first situated in the context of performance studies. These historical resonances will be followed by the presentation of a discussion with Brian Massumi and Jean-Francois Prost in context of which the notion of adaptation has been questioned on the level of its operational form: a form that resists to the traditional idea of an adaptation TO a situation and that rather activates processes of adaptations and de-adaptations of the situation. This way of understanding adaptation raised issues surrounding the possibilities for an adaptive action to perform a creative resistance whilst dealing with situations based on scale binary oppositions such as micro and macro, local and global, minority and majority, etc. Through presenting a number of actions from AA's reservoir I will emphasize the ways in which these quantitative oppositions can operate on a micropolitical level by transforming the binary oppositions into qualitative situations, by staging situation-based actions (as opposed to context-based ones).
