In the <em>After the Maestro <\/em>game<em>,<\/em> players take on the role of cellular workers living in an anthropomorphised, urbanised depiction of human anatomy. The game\u2019s narrative takes place during the aftermath of a successful labour emancipation within the inner body, and players must devise new structures of anatomical organisation and interdependence in the sudden absence of established biological hierarchies.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/tomkkemp.com\">tomkkemp.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Habib William Kherbek<\/strong><br \/>\nis based primarily in Berlin and is the writer of the novels <em>Ecology of Secrets<\/em>, <em>ULTRALIFE<\/em>, <em>New Adventures<\/em>, and the forthcoming <em>Best Practices<\/em>. Kherbek writes widely on a range of subjects including economics, contemporary art, and politics. <strong><em>Technofeudalism Rising<\/em> <\/strong>explores the relationship of individuals and populations to emerging economic forms including the platform economy, and data brokering.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Manetta Berends<\/strong> and<strong> Joana Chicau<\/strong>\u2019s research project departs from the collective practices at <strong>Varia<\/strong>, a Rotterdam based space which at its core aims at developing critical understandings of technologies. Varia members favour, without idealising, Free\/Libre and Open Source Software (F\/LOSS), open standards, low-tech and DIY\/DIWO culture, as they offer the opportunity to shape a different present and leave the door open for desirable futures. <strong><em>Not for any* <\/em><\/strong>studies conditions for collaborative creation, with a specific focus on the generative, relational as well as frictional properties of licenses.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/varia.zone\">varia.zone<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Hans Muller<\/strong><br \/>\nis a visual artist and composer, currently living and working in Rotterdam.\u00a0His project focuses on new ways of mould-making for all kinds of materials, and to seek connections between the academy and the industry. In his research, obsolete mould-making techniques are combined with 3D modelling to make impossible shapes. During his fellowship, one of his commissioned projects is used as a case study to collaborate with factories and work on highly complex sculptures.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mullerkunst.nl\">mullerkunst.nl<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Elena Khurtova<\/strong> and <strong>Marie Ilse Bourlanges<br \/>\n<\/strong>have operated as an artist-duo based in Amsterdam since 2009. Their artistic practice is currently characterised by a combination of collaborative and individual trajectories at the intersection between physical and conceptual. In this, materiality and temporality play an essential role. <strong>Pollinating Agents<\/strong> is an investigation on the mechanism of social cohesion, addressing inclusivity and interdependence, actively researching and re-thinking the challenge of collaborative processes and its potential in society at large.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elenakhurtova.com\">elenakhurtova.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marieilsebourlanges.com\">marieilsebourlanges.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Angie Keefer<\/strong><br \/>\nis an artist whose work develops primarily through collaboration with others, often in forms and formats considered ancillary to artistic production (i.e teaching, writing) as well as conventional exhibition media. For the project <strong>Version Space<\/strong> she has designed a seminar series that focussed on the concept of \u2018trust\u2019 as it relates to information, which had emerged as an important and problematic theme during last year\u2019s AI research seminar in Fine Art at Sandberg. She invited artists to present their work to students and to sit for student-led interviews.
